Random system crash without BSOD, accompanied by loud sounds or a full freeze followed by automatic restart.
Hello, I've explored various solutions but found no guidance online. Could someone here assist me? My setup includes a Samsung 850 EVO SATA3 boot drive, Z370 HD3 motherboard, 32GB Corsair DDR4 8600K RAM, stock Intel i5-8600K processor, AIO cooler, Kraken watercooling, and RTX 3080 graphics. It boots normally until recently. After a short break (1-5 days), the PC would crash with freezing and loud static noises in the headphones. I had to force shut it down, then it would restart and work again. Over time, even with light usage like YouTube or gaming, it would freeze or crash after a few days. I stopped using sleep mode after experiencing frequent BSODs from sleep. Recently, after three days without home use, it started working properly when I turned it on for a YouTube session or background activity. After about 15 minutes, it froze again after restarting. I removed the GPU and booted with the monitor connected to the motherboard. Everything seemed fine, but now it freezes during idle, gaming, or stress tests, sometimes rebooting. I’m worried about the GPU or power supply, possibly a faulty PCIe port or corrupted Windows 10. I’m unsure if this points to a hardware issue or just a software glitch. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Sure, I can do a memory test. It might not hold it for long and could cause errors.
The memory test in OCCT could effectively evaluate the situation.
Checked my old 1080 Booted Flash image with a black screen a few times. It froze, but it doesn’t look like the GPU is the issue—it seems like the motherboard, CPU, or PSU might be the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
