Windows 10: Seemingly Random Restarts

I've recently been having an issue with my PC that I built. I have an IntelR CoreTM i5-9600K CPU @ 3.70 GHz, 16 GB Ram, AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT, and I have an ASUS Motherboard. I have a watercooler along with 5 other fans installed to the case. There was a lot of careful care put into the amount of heating control my PC has. However, randomly, my computer just goes black and the computer restarts itself. There's no issue with the Ram, I ran the windows memory diagnostic and nothing came up. I am using Windows 10 Pro 64 bit, version 1909.


I believe that most of the time there are a lot of things going on at once when this happens, however the strange thing is that some days are worse than others. For example, yesterday I was downloading a bunch of game programming Unity things, plus playing Overwatch and watching youtube videos. Not all at the same time but just about. Lot's of processing power used, and it happened once. Today, I have had a pretty light day, just watching videos, learning to program a bit, and it's happened about 5 times, as well as the computer freezing so I had to hard reset the entire system.


I've tried going to reddit, and youtube, and google, and computer literate friends including my brother-in-law who works in IT, and none of them could fix the problem. I recently moved to a house with better internet, and it has been happen way more now than it did when I had 0.25 MB of downloading speed. Now I have 20 MB and it's so bad. Idk if that's part of the problem, but I'm at a loss. I've seen that this might be an issue with the PSU but I'm not sure how to check without breaking bank A small amount of bank mind you, I'm 19 with a 2 month old baby.. Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated. I just really don't know what to do.


Thanks,

Geo

when you start the computer up press F8 repeatedly until you get a list of how to start windows, choose do not automatically restart on system failure. if your getting bsod's list what your getting here so we can further help you. IF the system is not getting bsod's and still restarting as you say then i would look into getting a line conditioner for your computer as you might be having power issues.
