Hello, I've experienced the PC shutting down unexpectedly for two years. It happens randomly sometimes while playing games, or just when using the desktop. Occasionally it restarts on its own a few times a day without a blue screen. Even after trying an extra power supply, the issue persists. I've also used two silent memory modules, but it still fails during memtest. The problem seems to be with the system's stability, especially under different CPU speeds—like 3600MHz or 5GHz. The machine doesn't overheat much, but Windows 10 Pro is the version I'm using. I'm not sure what to do anymore; it's frustrating since it affects my work in Stadaart mode.

I don't like G.Skill much, and RAM seems to be causing problems. Still, it's possible the extra storage could have damaged even a 1600W power supply, though I'm not sure.

I also experimented with memory Patriot 3600 MHz but it didn’t work. The system runs at 650 watts under full load, uses multi-rail configuration, and the highest rail capacity is 20 amps. I tried a more powerful PSU—Super Flower Leadex Platinum 2000 watts—but it wasn’t available.

Shut off the system and verify proper installation. Make sure all connectors and expansion cards are securely fastened. I noticed DIMMs have become loose due to expansion and contraction from temperature changes.

I'll reposition everything and attempt it once more, then review the outcome.
