Hello, This is a follow up to my previous post from a few months ago. Since march my PC build has been crashing/powering off in a weird way. UI becomes blank/unresponsive. I can move mouse but that's about it. After around 5 minutes it just loses power and reboots. After changing hardware or re-installing windows it wont crash for up to 5 days, but once it crashes then the frequency ramps up until its 5 times a day. Stress does not trigger the issue. I can render a an animation for 20 hours using 100% cpu and 100% gpu and it works fine. The next day it will crash before I can even login, or with just chrome running. No dump, no minidump. part list: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/KnKc89 video of issue: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Yqf4t1R...sp=sharing Steps taken to fix issue: 1. Reinstalled graphics drivers 2. Tested ram 3. reinstalled windows (4 times) 4. replaced ram 5. replaced gpu 6. replaced cpu 7. updated bios 8. took to repair shop (guy didn't really know what he was doing and didn't fix it) 9. tried to RMA motherboard, gigabyte said it was fine after testing it. 10. Tested PSU with psu tester, readings fine. Now here is the best part that breaks logic. I took my m.2 in this computer (the one windows is installed on) and stuck in a PC that I know works just fine. So I basically booted from my new PC's m.2 on another PC that I know works. Doing that caused the working PC to crash in a similar way. The only difference was the PC never shutoff by itself, but the whole system was frozen except the mouse. So logically it means my m.2 is bad, right? So I replace my m.2 and guess what. My new build still shuts off. Both of the pcs had amd cpus and nvidia gpus and windows 10. So there is no pattern, no logic. what could possibly be the issue? Is there some known bug with windows 10? Is there some known issue with nvidia or amd? I am honestly very confused. Any help would be appreciated, thanks. edit: Sticking my new m.2 in another pc caused it to crash. But replacing it didn't fix crashing in my new pc. the only thing I can think of is some driver is bad. That is why sticking it in my working pc caused it to crash. when I bought the new m2 maybe that same driver caused the issue again.
