My computer is experiencing frequent crashes, and I’m unable to identify the root cause of these problems.
My desktop computer was assembled approximately two years ago, and I’ve experienced frequent crashes during that period. Here are the specifications: Intel Core i7-8700K, ROG STRIX Z370-E Gaming Motherboard, ROG STRIX 1080TI OC graphics card, 16GB Corsair Dominator DDR4 RAM, and a Corsair 850W RX Modular Power Supply. Despite taking it to three local computer repair shops, none have been able to identify the root cause of these crashes, and they all state that the system itself is functioning correctly. It’s possible a separate device could be responsible for these problems, and I’m at a loss as to what to do, since none of my attempts to fix the issue have been successful. I’ve extensively tested each component individually and am skeptical that it indicates a problem with the RAM, even though many of the error reports I’ve found online suggest that is the issue. However, I have run Memtest86 on my RAM, which returned no errors. Any additional suggestions or troubleshooting steps would be greatly valued.
Could you please list the external devices you’re linking to your computer?
Are all of your PC and associated peripherals being powered through a single power strip, surge protector, or standard outlet?
What error messages or alerts are displayed in the Reliability History and Event Viewer?
Focus specifically on any codes associated with the instances where you experience crashes.
Have you or any of the three repair companies disassembled the computer and reconnected all components, including graphics cards, cables, RAM, jumpers, etc.?
Considering your usage – heavy gaming or video editing/cryptocurrency mining – is the power supply unit (PSU) adequately performing?
Do you possess a multimeter and are comfortable utilizing it for measurements?
Please attempt to measure the PSU voltages using the following resource:

Note that this method isn't a full load test, as the PSU is not under active stress. Nevertheless, unusual voltage readings could indicate a problem...

Specifically, can you identify any error codes that relate to the times when your system crashes?
Have you or any of the three repair services disassembled the computer and reconnected all components, including graphics cards, cables, RAM, jumpers, and so on?
Considering your usage – intense gaming or video editing, for example – is the power supply unit (PSU) performing adequately?
Are you proficient in using a multimeter to measure electrical values?
Please attempt to evaluate your PSU’s performance by examining its voltage levels:

Note that this method isn't a definitive test, as the PSU won’t be operating under full load. However, unusual voltage readings could indicate a potential issue.
Hello, my computer hardware includes: a Razer Deathadder Mouse, a Razer Cynosa Keyboard, and a HyperX Cloud 2 Headset. My monitor is a 1080p display with a refresh rate of 144Hz from BenQ. All these devices are powered by the same set of connections, and I’m considering asking my father to evaluate their stability.
I've investigated the error logs within the Reliability History, and they consistently indicate a problem with the application being executed. Could this be related to my memory or hard drive?
Indeed, I’ve physically reinstalled the graphics card and RAM modules. My PC is primarily used for gaming, alongside some regular computer tasks.
I believe I possess a multimeter; if so, I plan to follow instructions from an online tutorial. However, considering the “Faulting Application Path,” it appears unlikely that a failing power supply is the cause.
Thank you for your assistance so far.
