My computer started randomly restarting yesterday. I assumed that it was a virus, however, after rebooting it rebooted again in the middle of a reboot, prior to windows even starting. I'm not an expert but to me this indicates that it must be hardware related. I'm studying in China currently, where i build my computer. Warranty is not a problem but I don't have any spare parts with me to test. Is the motherboard or the PSU the likely culprit. How can I confirm? I'm guessing PSU based on this recent issue. My computer is drawing a fraction of what the PSU should handle. The overclock is not extreme and the restarting is happening during web browsing and watching a movie, not gaming,
