Computer Keeps Crashing

[Westonian12141]

I've tried to do everything I can, so at this point, I'm guessing that I overlooked something. I know most of my stuff, I just need someone to help me correctly diagnose my system.
For more information, just ask.

Not really enough information here to do much with. Any error codes? What are CPU/GPU temps? Are all of your drivers up to date? Are there any overclocks on your system?

Whenever a system is crashing, usually it's either the PSU, motherboard, or some other instability due to overclocking, etc. Do some stress tests using AIDA64 or some other synthetic benchmark to try to find out what's causing the instability.

What are your CPU temps?

If you are overclocking, clear the CMOS on the motherboard. This will essentially reset the motherboard and everything will run at stock settings. Run a stress test on your system and if it does not crash, then you had an unstable overclock. If it does crash, then it is something else.

Yes, I have an overclock on my CPU. It is at 4.5 ghz(+0.5ghz). The windows ten error codes are sometimes different, but are along the lines of hardware issues.

 

[Westonian12141]

I believe my drivers are up to date.

 

[Westonian12141]

CPU temp is at 31 degrees C, on idle.

 

[Westonian12141]

I'm sorry, but I don't know how to use aida64. I just installed it. Which stress test should I do?

 

[feelinfroggy777]

What are your CPU temps under load? If they are getting up past 90C then your CPU is thermal throttling and is shutting down the PC to prevent damage.

 

[Westonian12141]

I got the stress test, and after almost ten minutes my CPU temp is still only around 65 degrees C. I don't believe it will reach past eighty.

 

[Westonian12141]

And the OC is still on, so that shows that it is still doing just fine.

 

[Westonian12141]

It finally failed the test. How do I see what caused to fail the test?

 

[feelinfroggy777]

It is probably an unstable overclock. Dont overclock the CPU and see if it crashes or up the v-core volts on your overclock.

Yeah that was the issue. I just went ahead and reset my bios. But, it also could have been me reinstalling my graphics card driver. Anyways, I want to thank all of you for your help.
