Pc shuts off and turns back again on when Windows 10 was loading,getting devices read

[lpiotrowski211]

Hi pc:

12900K with NZXT KRAKEN X73

2x16GB DDR4 KINGSTON DDR4 3600MHZ in GEAR 1

RTX 3090 Ti Gigabyte Gaming

Z690 DDR

SSD 1 TB NVM PCIE

Seasonic Px 1300W Platinum Prime

I went from Z490 and 10850K to 12900K and Z690 Elite DDR4. Windows 10 is installed on SSD from 10850K build.When new pc booted i enabled in GEAR 1 XMP ( 3600 mhz ). Then i rebooted to UEFI again without issues.

Then i reboot pc again and when windows 10 was loading ,pc shutts off ( heard psu click ) and turns back on again. And second time it booted to Windows 10 normally.

Is my pc fine?

Why pc shuts off ( OFF heard psu click) and turns back again on first time,when windows 10 was loading ? Pc shuts down and boot itself up. Not typical reboot.

It happened before Windows 10 boot <%>Getting devices ready.
But why it shutdown ( i heard a click from psu ) and then reboot itself?comes back automatically


Windows 10 working now normally no issues , but just asking about that. Thank you so much my friends.

After changing memory speeds you might get a complete reset with the power clicking off. That's normal.

However, if it keeps happening I remember you also had an incident with your previous system. A reoccurring problem spanning multiple computers could indicate an issue with the wiring in your home. As I've mentioned previously I would highly recommend having a UPS to help condition the power and provide a battery backup. That would be far preferable to having any of your hardware damaged.

Yes i know it can turn off, click and reboot after changing memory speed. But i said it happened again,just before windows 10 loaded first time,before Getting devices ready.

Hi Ipiotrowski211,

During the windows 10 install, it's not uncommon for a couple reboots.

If all is working well now, I wouldn't be too concerned.

Just so you know, you can upgrade to windows 11 for free.

So even if it shutdown once ( i heard psu click ) and reboot on its own?

Well, apparently it was normal procedure, I wouldn't stress over it if everything is working ok.

If you have random shutdowns, then it would be time to investigate.

PSU shouldnt click during software install. If it reboots on its own after PSU shuts down and restarts there is a setting in the BIOS to restart on power failure. May have been a utility problem that was coincidental unless you are running a UPS.

PSU shutting down isnt normal but several reboots while detecting hardware is normal.

So why it happened once just before windows loaded? I heard psu click and pc rebooted on its own. I am on windows 10 testing games and no shutdowns.
