PC keeps restarting, seemingly at random, recent PSU and virus issues.
Hey people,
Recently my PSU failed and I replaced it.
Shortly after, I managed to get a virus which infected quite a few dll files. I've removed the virus now.
Since getting rid of the virus, my computer has been restarting itself at random intervals, although more often than not shortly after restarting. It can happen 4 or so times in a row, and once it's been up for 10 minutes it's usually stable.
I've read around and these are the steps I've taken (to no avail):
--> turning off automatic restart (so the computer goes to BSOD rather than restarting - though this has not worked, the BSOD does not show)
--> updating graphics driver
I was wondering if it's possible the virus I had has infected some parts of Windows which is leading to the restarting, or if the power supply is at fault, or something I'm not thinking of.
I'd really appreciate it if anybody could point me in the right direction.
Thanks.
