[SOLVED] Long beep followed by shutdown

[Pesta76]

My computer is shutting down at night. I will have been on it all day play World of Warcraft and watching videos. I typically just turn off my monitors at night and let my computer go to sleep. I'll have turned off monitors, gone upstairs brushed my teeth etc and I'll hear a long beep coming from downstairs. I come down in morning and find that I need to start my computer up. I poked around my case and found that my top big case fan wasn't spinning. Ok fine. I've had the case for a really long time and was about time to replace it anyway. I bought a Fractal case and put in an additional 4 Noctua 140mm fans along with the 2 120mm fans that came with it.

Well the problem is still happening. I've read that it could be either a PSU or memory issue. Power would make sense since the beep happens right around the time the computer typically goes to sleep. Problem is I've also manually put the computer to sleep before bed and the beep still happens a bit later. I just bought my Corsair RM 750x PSU 2.5 years ago so I'm hoping it's not that. I'm also thinking if it was a memory problem wouldn't the beep and shutdown happen while my computer was under load? I've also found while using CCleaner that the memory dump is around 1.5G. Does that mean it's definitely the memory? Parts aren't exactly cheap right now so I'm hoping to nail down the issue before buying parts.


Windows 10 Home 64-bit

Probably not the PSU, sounds like bad power from your outlet or more likely, an issue with Windows power plan. Is the plan set to never shut down? You can also try changing power plans and/or reset power plan defaults. Some changes in power plan is not available through the menu, and I figure it might bork up eventually.

I figured out I should be analyzing those 1.5G memory dump files with Windbg Preview. It just happened again and I tried to interpret the results but it's going over my head. Maybe a GPU issue now?

Yeah the plan is to never shut down. I've been running the same power plan for years so I'm hesitant to think that that's the issue.

Bad GPU driver? I'm not qualified to properly interpret a memory dump but I see Nvidia driver mentioned as the object. DDU and see if it helps anything

Thanks. I'll try a clean driver install first and see what happens.

Good luck, keep in mind that you might need to use older drivers. I have minor issues with latest stable ones with my 1080.
