Question:

Why does my computer reboot or loses power constantly?

This is a self built computer. When using it in a different room, it functioned normally. However, now that I've moved it to a new room, it would constantly reboot or just loses power entirely. With the latter, I would have to remove the power cable and hold the on button for a while before I could turn it back on. Also, when I shut it down, the computer would reboot by itself instead.

Answer:

Most of times the issue should be occurring because some problem related to power. Do easier things first. 1. Use another power cable. 2. Get an extension form different wall plug and power your PC through it. 3. Bring the PC into previous room and try. When using it in a different room, it functioned normally. However, now that I've moved it to a new room, it would constantly reboot or just loses power entirely According to your above saying, I can guess something like this also, If the computer had faced to some shock while you're changing rooms, sometimes, these is a chance to occur these kind of problems because a shock can produce a loose connection. Remove the causing and check all the connections inside CPU such as Power, RAMS, Processor....... and all it's possible.
Hi There, I would suggest shutting it down, unplugging the power and holding the power button on for a few seconds to discharge any remaining power. Next open the side cover and check all the cables to make sure none have worked loose while moving to the next room. While the case is open would be a good time to blow out any dust, etc inside and clean any air filters. Hope this helps, Al
