Hello Tech spot people.

When i connect a USB cable to the front USB hook ups my PC reboots. I don't really have to connect the cable just when the metal from the USB hits the metal USB dock. the pc will reboot.

Here are my PC specs
1100 AMD 6 core
8 GB flare ram 2000MHZ
750 antecs power supply
g force 275 GPU
Tower- HAF X
Asus MB Crosshair formula
yes i do have the system O.C. But only by the MB O.C Recommendations

I built the system my shelf. the problem just started to day ago i have had it for 3 weeks now

Sounds like the motherboard is shorting to the case or the power supply is defective. Hang the power supply outside the case with it still connected to the motherboard and see if this USB reboot issue still exists. If not, replace the power supply

Purchase a good UPS and see if the problem disappears or even try it in another room

I hate to think its my mother board. would the problem happen when i first started the pc right after the build? it did not happen untill after three weeks? im going to buy a new power supply. the Antec TruePower Quattro TPQ-1000 1000W Continuous Power ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Modular Active PFC "compatible with Core i7/Core i5" Power Supply.
The curent one i have is only a 750 and i think im asking to nuch from it.
One other question because this power supply is compatible with Core i7/Core i5. will it be ok for my AMD gaming Pc i have

Static electricity is not good for any electronics including computers. It sounds like your house wiring is not grounded properly. A new power supply won't hurt, but if it is caused by faulty house grounding, the problem will re occur soon
