Random Reboots
Random Reboots
Just built a pc with all new parts except for the gpu and ssd: r5 3600 16gb gskill ram b450 aorus elite antec eagpro 650w galax 1060 6gb toshiba sata ssd WD green hdd It was working fine until i tried to play a game. So completely randomly windows with restart it self without a blue screen or any kind of error message, it mostly happens while im gaming although once or twice it restarted while i was browsing on chrome. Sometime it will do it after an hour or two, sometimes 15mins or even when as soon as i get into the games menu. Does seem to be different for certain games though for example i cant get past the menu on Civ 6, Ghost Recon breakpoints will last 5-10min and Total war 3k might go for a couple of hours. Its a new windows 10 install and my temps seem ok getting max of 65c on the gpu under full load and about 75 max on the cpu with about 40-60% load. Iv tried a few things like reseating the ram , running memtest, checked the drive health said it was all good, the os is on the ssd and all my game files are on the hdd. BIOS is updated to latest, all drivers are upto date, someone told me to turn off automatic restart and turn off fast startup which i did. Iv tried using both the balanced and high performance power plans. Did sfc/ scannow and it said it found corrupted file and repaired them but that didnt make any difference. I was downloading all my games and feel like the restarts happened more often while downloading i could be wrong though, using Ethernet at the moment still waiting for my wireless adaptor to arrive. Also i doubt this is related but i get alot a crackling noise on both my speakers and usb headset which never happened on my old PC. So would like suggestions on what to try next, Cheers!
Check the event viewer for shutdown or reboot reasons related to your power supply. Reinstall Windows and reattach all power cables if your case includes a reset button. Unplugging it might resolve the issue, based on past experiences with similar problems.
I think it's a driver issue. I have had the same problem recently. No blue screen or error message. It just restarts. It only happens to me while gaming for a period of time.Usually over 30 minutes. Good to know others are having the same issue. You are not the first to report this problem.
The only entries in the event viewer are a 'critical error 41' related to kernel-power, with the note that the system restarted unexpectedly after shutting down. This might suggest a power or stability issue. The power supply appears adequate, delivering 648 watts on the +12V rail and 100 watts on the +5V rail. These capacities should comfortably support the components you’re using. You recently installed a fresh Windows version on a new M.2 SSD, and you removed the reset button to try and resolve the problem. However, the PC still restarts repeatedly—sometimes after launching a game, sometimes without warning. This inconsistency raises concerns, especially since you’ve experienced crashes while playing games for extended periods and others on your system have similar issues. You’re considering whether the problem lies with the GPU or if there’s a deeper driver or firmware issue. You’ve tried other brands like Asus and Galaxy, but none resolved the matter. You’re open to purchasing a different PSU if needed, but you want to confirm the PSU itself isn’t the cause before making a change. The situation seems to point toward a potential driver or software conflict rather than hardware failure.
