System Malfunction Occurrences
My computer has begun experiencing unexpected shutdowns while I'm gaming. Previously, I could smoothly play Modern Warfare at maximum settings. Following a January update to the game, my system has become unstable and frequently crashes. While I can generally play Warzone with occasional issues, consistently stable performance is only achieved when using MSI Afterburner to force all fans to operate at 100%.
Here are my system specifications:
* Operating System: Windows 10
* Motherboard: Z170I
* Processor: Intel i5-6600k
* Memory: Corsair 16GB DDR4 2132MHz
* Power Supply Unit: Corsair RM750
* Graphics Card: MSI 1070
* Cooling System: Unknown
* Windows has been updated, along with video drivers.
I’ve attempted numerous troubleshooting steps to identify the root cause of these crashes, including reinstalling Windows, removing games and windows files, utilizing diagnostic tools, and even completely re-seating all hardware components. Notably, when a crash occurs, the system does not generate a dump file and instead resets before it can. To combat this, I've disabled automatic restart; during these events, a dump file is created at 0% and produces an annoying sound. This issue persists even after extended observation periods.
