PC Keeps Restarting Randomly Finally Solved | Corsair CX750M Power Supply Problems. Today I will show you how to troubleshoot a PC which keeps restarting. The Power supply Unit from Corsair CX750M seems to be the culprit. 3 Videos ago I mentioned that my GP was dying as my PC kept crashing and restarting during Video Editing and some GPU benchmarks. Shortly afterwards I posted a retraction on the YouTube community tab to say that my initial assessment was wrong, do not think my GPU is dying, and my PC will demand further testing.
You guys may know my Troubleshoot series where we look at what may prevent a PC from turning on, or if it does turn on with led lights and fan spinning but no display on the monitor, and that should be evidence that I can look at PC troubleshooting quite methodically and scientifically to eliminate causes and narrow it down to at least 1 only possible component or part.
This situation is slightly different since we do have POST, and we can use the PC for normal daily task, but as soon as I edit a normal 1080p video footage without any special effects, even during scrubbing on the timeline , my PC crashes and restarts, and it restarts during some standard benchmark of Furmark and Unigine Valley as well.
Here are my PC specs:

PSU: Corsair CX750M
Mobo: Asus 970 Pro Gaming Aura
