Restart your PC without any issues.
Restart your PC without any issues.
Occasionally my computer becomes unresponsive for a brief moment (screen freezes, audio glitches) before it shuts down and restarts. No crash screen appears. Sometimes a Windows dump file is generated, other times not. The machine is brand new except for the GPU, power supply, and non-boot storage devices. I've experienced this problem consistently over about two months, and I've already reinstalled Windows. All drivers are current. I suspect it's not related to power issues—I've run stress tests on both CPU and GPU without triggering the issue. The crashes seem to happen specifically during gameplay in Guild Wars 2 and Discord calls (possibly unrelated, as no one else who plays this has similar reports). Attached is a dump file from the latest crash, along with two posts from a thread discussing BSODs (though I haven't seen any BSOD for this issue before).
Operating System: Windows 11 64-bit version 10.0.22621
System: AMD 7700X, ASUS Prime B650M-A, X570, Noctua NH-U12S, GTX 1070Ti
GPU: Corsair Vengeance DDR5 32GB, Samsung 980 Pro SSD 1TB (boot), WD Blue 1TB (old)
Storage: Seasonic 660W Platinum (~8 years old, model not specified), Samsung 840 Pro SSD 256GB (disabled in Windows)
Additional notes: No power supply concerns detected. Recent gameplay and Discord sessions are the only triggers.
Any assistance would be very much appreciated! Dumps.zip
The power source is nearly ten years old. I'd check it first since my previous machine was older and had issues. It was a premium Thermaltake 1200 W unit, so I assumed it wouldn't be the cause, but it was. The power would switch on and off but never fully start. One day it worked, the next it was completely dead.
The cleaned version maintains your original notes while improving clarity. Let me know if you'd like further adjustments!
