Random crashes/shutdowns
Random crashes/restarts
I'm creating a new thread since there has been no response in the other for a week and I'm unsure if the thread has just been lost in the mix.
The shutdowns are happening while I'm working on the computer. The lights plugged into the wall nearby flicker and the monitor cuts off, and the fans in the computer waver and run at half speed for a few seconds, like power is reduced or there's some kind of power interruption, even though it's plugged into a UPS which doesn't trip. Then the computer shuts down. I'm unable to turn it back on without unplugging or turning off the power supply. This is the core issue. I recently tried replacing the RAM, but the new ones were DOA and I don't really want to deal with buying more right now. I don't suspect the RAM anyway because a RAM check gives no errors and says it's in good condition.
Could it be the power supply? Am I just going to have to keep throwing parts at it like a shitty old car?
