I have a problem. Sometimes when I am working on my computer... it reboots. And after it reboots my monitor won't even show me the bios screen or whatever. So that mean that it doesnt even load windows. So after I press "Reset Button" several times, it finally boots. Sometimes it's not rebooting but it's freezing. So I dont know what is the problem. I replaced power supply, checked memory. I checked mu CPU's temperature and it is 53 degress celciuss. Please help me guys I dont know what is going on. Thanks in advance.
