Hi, My computer will restart randomly at anytime. Most of the time i will wake up in the morning and my computer will be at the log on screen but the rare time im there to see it actually restart, it goes through all the proper steps to do a restart (closes all programs, says windows is shutting down, restarts and doesnt give me the option to run in safemode). there is no warning to when it will restart other then once all my programs start closing. I leave my computer on most of the time but its in a well vented area and in my opinion its not overheating because i think it would just shut off if that was the case. any and all support is eagerly looked forward to thank you for reading.

I would take a look at your reliability and performance monitor for clues and also event viewer, looking in windows logs\system for any events just before the shutdown timestamp

I also agree with kimsland your PSU is totally inadequate for your system , if your run your system spec through this Thermaltake Power Supply Calculator I came out with 302W required plus 30-40% headroom so a 400W would be advisable
