Here’s a revised version of your text:

Hello everyone,
Recently, while playing certain games, my computer would suddenly crash and restart. Usually, it didn’t trigger a BSOD—it just shut down immediately. Checking the Event Viewer didn’t show any errors (image 1). At first, I assumed the issue was with the game itself since it seemed to coincide with a recent update. I read that it might be related to my hard drive failing, and there were warnings about a disk being disconnected suddenly. However, after more investigation, I found out that the "disk 5" was actually virtualized via vmbox, so it probably wasn’t the cause. I also tried installing the game on another drive, but my PC crashed there too.

I played another game for a while, and it also caused a crash, though this time I saw the BSOD before it shut down. No dump file was created again, and I checked for a WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR. So it wasn’t just the game. I ran MemTest and didn’t notice any problems. I also tried running Heaven for about half an hour without any crashes.

I installed Aida64 and performed a full stress test for roughly half an hour—no crashes occurred. I read about BSODs and followed the steps from the link: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/wind...894a6d5f21.

I also tried changing the minidumps, but none were generated. I’m still unsure what’s causing it. I read about the BSOD and tried the suggested steps.

My PC specs: Windows 10, not updated to the latest version (though I plan to update tonight). The system is around 2-4 years old for most components—CPU, motherboard, RAM, GPU. My OS was reinstalled last year, and I’m using an x64 Windows 10 xSSD drive.

I’m a bit confused about my setup and the crash pattern. I’ll run a longer stress test with Aida64 for several hours to see if it triggers a crash again. I’ll also keep monitoring the resource and performance tools, and I’ll update them once completed.

If I crash again while running Heaven and Aida64 together, I’ll lose all my progress. I’ll share the results as soon as possible.
