Computer Black screening and restarting

[redeyedskink]

Hi Everyone,

I've followed threads for quite some time and wanted to post something.

I made my own computer about 2 years ago or maybe a little less.
After having it for about 6 months, I started to have weird issues with my pc which would cause my pc to black screen and just restart all of a sudden.

I've ran stress tests on the memory, I've ran test on my GPU such as benchmarks (heaven) and I've also tested my cpu. There is no overheating that I can see, and no issues with my hardware.

This issue has started to happen more and more now. I'm leaning towards it being a GPU issue but I just can't be sure.

Any advice would be great, but I feel like I've tested everything pretty well.

Under event viewer, I'm getting a kernal power 41 message (which just tells me the power shut down unexpectedly) and event log 6008 with no further information.

Update:
I just ran furmark again and monitored all my stuff. Here are some results:
Average FPS- 43
Max temp- 77
CPU max temps- 35 (must be a faulty sensor) Bios states the cpu is at 25c

Hope this helps a little bit. Any help is appreciated

Here are my specs:
windows 10
i5-6600k
gtx 960 gpu
z170 gaming 5 motherboard
550w seasonic
2x8 gb 2200 ram
1x240 ssd
1x 1tb 7200 HDD

did you try tto remove gpu and plug in on the board to monitor also stress test psu with occt for 10 min ,

 

[redeyedskink]

haven't tried on board graphics. how would I test the PSU with just onboard graphics?

 

[scout_03]

this test will put load on psu and you will also se the voltages it give out so if there out of specs or test fail we need to know .

 

[redeyedskink]

I didn't get a link. I'm also trying to get my integrated graphics to work. currently, my motherboard isn't recognizing integrated graphics

 

[scout_03]

http://www.ocbase.com/index.php/software if you still have gpu in system it disable onboard let hope you did not disable it from bios .

 

[redeyedskink]

It was set to auto in the bios. I enabled it and I'm downloading the integrated driver now. I'll download the software you linked after and test it out

 

[scout_03]

those driver should be on board maker link .

 

[redeyedskink]

Not sure. I downloaded the integrated driver and it's working fine with the on board graphics now. I'm downloading the software you linked and trying it now

 

[scout_03]

ok let see the result .

 

[redeyedskink]

want me to run the PSU test I'm guessing or is there another one?

 

[scout_03]

no that is the test for psu max 10 min you will have result if it pass or not .

 

[redeyedskink]

Says there are 4 different tests to choose from: cpucct, cpu:linpack. gpu:3D, and power supply

 

[scout_03]

power supply test tab this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0TRc3ECDnrM

 

[redeyedskink]

Just finished testing and there were no crashes or issues

 

[scout_03]

then put back gpu in and use the gpu-z rendering option to stress test it and check fan ,voltages with temp using hwinfo to monitor them .

 

[redeyedskink]

should all your vcores for your cpu be similar, if not the same voltage?

 

[scout_03]

they could be fluctuating a bit you wil see this in hwinfo sensor page .

 

[redeyedskink]

they could be fluctuating a bit you wil see this in hwinfo sensor page .

http://

should they fluctuate this much?

 

[scout_03]

no if you could try to use another psu in system and see how it does core voltages are to far appart from one to the other .

 

[redeyedskink]

don't have another PSU. So you think I should buy a new one and see?

 

[scout_03]

before buying one do you have a friend that could help you for this on a test trying you psu in is system or one that he have because it could also be a board electrical issue .

 

[redeyedskink]

unfortunately not. My seasonic i have right now isn't module and I don't have a friend with a spare one nearby.

 

[scout_03]

the fluctuation appear on inboard or gpu in system .

 

[redeyedskink]

They appear on both
