My computer has started to shut down and restart whilst under load. It doesn't crash, it just switches off and then reboots itself.
I use it mainly for heavy image editing and this is where I'm running into problems. The programs I use are Capture One, Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Bridge. I thought the issue may be over heating, so I've used compressed air to remove all dust but I'm still running into the same issue. It seems to be intermittent as it doesn't happen every day.
Does anyway know if this may be a software or hardware issue? Is my PSU underpowered?
