Pc random crashes
I was playing Minecraft just like everyone else does when they're bored, everything seemed fine until suddenly my PC crashed without a blue screen. This also happens when I launch CSGO or any game in fullscreen mode. The system details are: Windows 8.1 (64bit), 4GB RAM (3.98 GB usable), GeForce GTX 650 Ti GPU, AMD FX processor with 6 cores, a 550W power supply, and I ran a memory check which found no issues. I also tried swapping hard drives and reset the BIOS to default settings.
The PSU voltages aren't too bad, but if you have the opportunity—swap it with a better option like the one found here: It looks like your issue might be hardware-related, possibly involving a faulty power button mentioned in the forum discussion. You should probably take apart your PC, clean everything, check thoroughly, and rebuild it.
When you mention "crashes," what issues are you experiencing?
It could be a complete shutdown of the PC?
A quiet return to the desktop?
Windows malfunctioning with an error display?
Are your CPU or GPU overheating?
What brand and model of PSU do you have?
You should install and launch HWInfo64.
What are the acceptable minimum and maximum values for 3.3v, 5v, and `12 v` readings?
It essentially resets but doesn't display the shutdown screen, just restarts and shows BIOS then "starting windows." When windows begin, it triggers an error message. On the Event Viewer, it records a reboot without a clean shutdown. Source: kernel-Power Level: critical.
