Hi all,
I've just put together a build and it's being a right pain, this is first PC I have built since about 6 years of using a laptop, really not enjoying the experience so far! Having all new components and few spare parts is making diagnostic a pain!
The build is:
The issue I have now is that the PC will randomly reboot. I can leave it on the desktop for some time without issue but browsing the web for a few mins (only driver pages / forums) will make it reboot, it is very intermittent. Launched cpu-z and it restarted, did it again after reboot and it was fine.
Things I have tried:
Any thoughts or suggestions?! I'm was thinking PSU or bad memory compatibility but with mem test passing then memory should be fine? In which case I'm back to PSU or perhaps the mobo itself?

The build is:
- Ryzen 5600
- MSI MAG B550M Bazooka
- 16GB Corsair Vengeance 3600Mhz
- AMD R9 270X
- Corsair MP510 NVME
- be-quiet 600w

Things I have tried:
- Replaced the 270x with a basic low profile ati card I had from an old work machine! Still get the reboot. Glad of this as I bought it used due to horrible prices at the min and thought had been sold a dud!
- Moved mobo out of case to rule out any other shorting going on. No joy.
- Updated bios to latest version.
- Installed single stick of ram at a time (mem tested and passed). Still get reboot.
- Tried PSU on different machine, however the old PC does not boot into windows so haven't ruled this out, my old PSU doesn't have 2 4 pin for the CPU to be able try the other way around. I might try and see if I can get that PC working and then retry the PSU.
