I've recently cleaned my PC, and now it keeps restarting itself after a few minutes of use. It powers on just fine, but then restarts automatically without any error messages or blue screens. I noticed that the fans ramp up quickly just before the restart, and the temperatures seem normal. This issue has been getting worse over time, with the restarts happening more frequently. I've checked the power supply and motherboard, and they both seem fine—an EVGA 750W Bronze PSU and a Gigabyte B550 Aorus Elite motherboard. Interestingly, this problem didn't occur before the cleaning, and I ran my PC in BIOS for over 30 minutes without any issues or loud fan noise.

Have you accidentally spilled any cleaning liquid on the components while you were cleaning? That can cause all sorts of issues. Just a thought!
It sounds like this could be a RAM issue. Have you tried reseating your RAM? That can sometimes resolve similar problems.
No, I didn't get any liquid on anything. Everything should be dry.
