System shuts down unexpectedly without a crash screen.
Here are the mistakes you're encountering in administrative events within the Event Viewer. I've included the images you mentioned along with the log and overall documentation for reference. Reviewing this may help clarify the issue.
He pointed out a fatal hardware issue in the logs, linking it to CPU problems. He recommended several steps: reset after overclocking, update BIOS from the manufacturer, verify cooling components, reset BIOS settings if changed, and test with Prime95. He also noticed unusual behavior—screen freezing, audio issues, and keyboard/mouse failure—suggesting possible PSU or firmware problems. He advised checking the PSU, considering a cooler and new power supply, and running stress tests if needed.
Update: The issue disappeared for a couple of weeks before reappearing. I returned the GPU and the PC functioned normally afterward, leading me to suspect it was the GPU. However, it has started up again now, and the main error message is "WHEA LOGGER, a fatal hardware error has occurred, reported by component: Processor core." It seems the problem might now be with the CPU, though many others have resolved it without replacing it. My brand new CPU has been swapped a few times before, and I’ve received another new one as a replacement. The BIOS is current, and I even upgraded the power supply. RAM has been inspected, replaced if needed, and all connections checked. The motherboard isn’t the issue—I was confirmed by the company. I’m unsure what’s causing it; could it be the M.2 SSD? Another concern is that when I boot from Windows using my Gen 3 M.2 SSD while both SATA SSD and HDD are connected, I have no issues. But if I disconnect the SATA SSD and HDD and try booting with just the M.2 SSD, I encounter a 0x00000000000e error, indicating the PC isn’t detecting Windows. This happens even when I boot from it directly. The same problem occurs when I remove the SATA SSD and try booting with just the M.2 SSD. If all three drives are present in the system—regardless of which one is connected—I still experience this. I’ve tested both drives in the first boot order. What’s going on?
