My thoughts are overheating. Odd PC restart problems with no obvious reason Open | BSOD
I'm really struggling right now. Excuse the long message. I shared this earlier with a similar issue, hoping to find a fix. It turns out nothing worked. The main problem is random reboots without BSODs. I get stuck in boot loops, then experience a few hours of grace before another random restart. After reinstalling Windows didn't help. I've tried various RAM modules and found that everything else functions normally. There are strange interactions between RAM and HDD causing unpredictable boot times. I'm hoping someone can help.
Two weeks ago my motherboard failed, so I replaced it with a new one (Gigabyte B450 AORUS Pro Wifi). Since then I've faced frustrating random reboots. I've used all original components except the new board and tried different RAM sticks. The specs below are listed for reference:
PC specs:
- Motherboard: Gigabyte B450 AORUS Pro WiFi
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3800X
- Graphics: GTX 2070 Super 850W
- Power supply: Corsair 32GB 3200MHz DDR4, G.Skill Ripjaws RAM (first try), 16GB 3000MHz DDR4 G-Skill Trident Z
- Storage: Two SSDs and one HDD
I'm hoping this helps someone else. Thanks in advance for any advice.
It seems the issue might be related to the CPU or motherboard. Trying a different CPU could provide clarity. If you haven’t updated the BIOS, reset the CMOS, and adjusted the RAM settings to match the correct timings, that’s likely what’s causing the problem.
