Bellow im going to post a log ive been keeping since I wiped my pc, everything i have done from that day till now has been recorded. The short version of this issue is that the PC will black screen, the monitor will say its going to sleep and then the PC will reset itself sometimes when gaming. Note that this is the short version, Im going to provide the log bellow and then follow up with some import notes that I think should be kept into consideration before supplying a suggestion.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Im sorry in advance if this was hard to understand but i attempted to make it easy to read, now here is some background info-The pc locked up in the windows explorer the same day this log was made and it just straight up killed my OS or something, either way i had to reinstall, I was having these problems before the reset, at about the same severity.
Now here are some things ive noticed that strike me as strange, and before typing this I want to stress the fact that I highly highly doubt my GPU or CPU are failing,(Both being modestly dated, they never saw much use if any, until they where given to me) regardless of my symptoms imitating that of failing main components. I have extensively stress tested both the CPU and GPU prior to the reset in a attempt to figure this out by reading other posts on this site. When i say stress test I mean STRESS TEST, so much so that I was afraid I was going to break the GPU in particular. I used all the standard software for this as well. I feel as if i should be pointing my finger at my ram to be honest, but I am not savy with this kind of stuff. Now i specify these two components because the first response I ever see on similar posts are "ope sorry kiddo GPU is dead, go buy a new one" (not in those exact words of course)
Here are some things that I feel should be considered while you are taking the time out of your day to help me out (which is very appreciated)
1. These crashes (aside from the Inquisition one) are not random, they are very consistent actually and can be predicted with relative ease. As a example, my three games that crash my PC are WARFRAME, DESTINY 2, FORTNITE AND AT ONE POINT FALLOUT 4 (and now dragon age, and fallout 4, I will get back to)
-The predictability varies between the games, and these notes also predate the log.
-WARFRAMES PATTERN// I can spend literally 2 hours on the ship, jumping around and going wild.(I didnt feel the need to note that in the log since I knew I would bring it up here) However I will without a doubt, other then two instances, crash within the first 5 minuets of actual gameplay.
-REGARDING THE TWO INSTANCES// the first successful attempt happened before the reset, until this moment the game had crashed the PC about 11 times. No changes where made however the game let me play, But then the games engine crashed and sent me to the desktop 1 hour into the session. The second session that let me actually play has been noted in the log
- DESTINY 2 PATTERNS// The game works fine and dandy until the mission RIPTIDE, here my PC crashes without a single doubt, whenever I attempt to jump off of a broken walkway that leads my character onto the platform that holds the first converter. Up until here I experienced a similar issue on the very first mission, after loosing contact with Zavala and Holiday there is a doorway leading to a spinnign converter that your character must break. I crashed as soon as I stepped into the walkway about 7 times before It just let me walk on in for seemingly no reason. I can play the PVP just fine and go back to Earth without a single crash and I can idle on the menus, world screen, ship, and goof around in The Farm just fine
-FORTNITES PATTERN// Fortnite has never crashed even once in Save The World Mode, but, when I play the PVP mode it becomes a toss up, I have maybe a 1 minuet window from when I jump off the buss, In that one minute I will know if the game will crash the PC or not. If i make it halfway down im fine and the game wont crash and I can play for as long as I want, I can play as many rounds as I want. no problem, Ive played anywhere between 3 hours and once a entire afternoon with my buddys from work (after a initial crash that day) , Similar to the previous titles this game will be fine on the Hub (E.G. The main screen in this case)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now Fallout 4 is where it gets a little weird for me. Much like the other games, the menu screen was fine, however the game would crash without a doubt, before the 5 minuet mark. Almost on schedule even. HOWEVER, The game was heavily modded, yet I was getting the same type of crash rather then a lock up or crash to desktop, I was getting the straight up Black screen and PC Reset. This stopped as soon as I uninstalled every single mod and put them back in 3 at a time, Never once has a crash and predating this log I would spend upwards of 8 hours at a time playing. (its my favorite game right now and I dont sleep much) It has never once crashed since I did this and the mod list has even grown.
Some other games I frequent (Some in this log and some not) That give me no problems at all are BATTLEFIELD 1, DOOM, RAINBOW SIX SIEGE, and DRAGONS DOGMA, with some SKYRIM and GUILD WARS 2 WORLD V WORLD sprinkled in there. I even grabbed FF15 And played that till the point where Gladiolus leaves the group just to further punish my GPU,
-------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now Im aware some of this info might be useless but I feel like giving you as much context and info as possible will help better pinpoint what could be the issue. I feel like its possibly my RAM. However I want to rule everything out before I go spend money on something
here are some factors regarding the hardware and the history of my components.
-I was given a hand me down Aleinware Aroura R4, this system had only seen 4 months of use before it was packed away in a climate controlled unit and never seen agian until it was given to me. This PC gave me no problems what so ever until about the 1.5 Year mark of me owning it. The Motherboard went funky and gave me the good old "No keyboard detected press f1 to continue" Now i shit you not I tried to get into that thing for 2 months, CMOS resets, Battery swaps, PS/2 Component additions, adapters, I tried it all. So I gave up and gutted the machine. 1 Month later I found a used gaming PC online (which was also barely used still has some of the CyberPower tape on it) and bought it and went to work on it the same day. I took out the GTX 760 and put in my old 660 Ti (that agian, might be old but has seen less then 2 years of use with no overclocking what so ever and has never given me problems) The motherboard wouldnt let me use my old Intel I7 930 (which was fine) So I kept the AMD FX 6300 in it, I didnt touch the ram, and I bought a brand new PSU from BestBuy.
SO the hardware is dated but even with the used CPU and MotherBoard the entire rig hasnt seen more then a collective 2 years of use.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AGIAN This is a lot of info on what might just be a simple fix, but thats why I waited this long to do anything about it. Im not entirely sure what is happening because the symptoms are not exact mimmics of similar hardware failures and they also seem to be playing by a set of rules and only effecting specific games while leaving others alone. There is also the fact that the Destiny 2 crashes honestly feel like more of some Gameside problem and the only other Reset situation ive had other then Fortnite and Warframe was solved by undooing my own stupidity (I installed like 60 mods at once) Which also makes me wonder why it would be my RAM (which im leaning towards) because if it was wouldnt it still be crashing Fallout 4 and wouldnt it make Fortnite crash as often as Destiny 2 or Warframe? and why would I be fine as long as I can make it past a specific time frame on Warframe and Fortnite? Im just not sure what is happening here. Even if it is my ram id like to atleast understand why its acting the way it is and not just screwing me across the board.

Here are some things that I feel should be considered while you are taking the time out of your day to help me out (which is very appreciated)
1. These crashes (aside from the Inquisition one) are not random, they are very consistent actually and can be predicted with relative ease.

I crashed as soon as I stepped into the walkway about 7 times before It just let me walk on in for seemingly no reason. I can play the PVP just fine and go back to Earth without a single crash and I can idle on the menus, world screen, ship, and goof around in The Farm just fine
-FORTNITES PATTERN// Fortnite has never crashed even once in Save The World Mode, but, when I play the PVP mode it becomes a toss up, I have maybe a 1 minuet window from when I jump off the buss, In that one minute I will know if the game will crash the PC or not.

(its my favorite game right now and I dont sleep much) It has never once crashed since I did this and the mod list has even grown.
Some other games I frequent (Some in this log and some not) That give me no problems at all are BATTLEFIELD 1, DOOM, RAINBOW SIX SIEGE, and DRAGONS DOGMA, with some SKYRIM and GUILD WARS 2 WORLD V WORLD sprinkled in there. I even grabbed FF15 And played that till the point where Gladiolus leaves the group just to further punish my GPU,

Now Im aware some of this info might be useless but I feel like giving you as much context and info as possible will help better pinpoint what could be the issue. I feel like its possibly my RAM. However I want to rule everything out before I go spend money on something
here are some factors regarding the hardware and the history of my components.
-I was given a hand me down Aleinware Aroura R4, this system had only seen 4 months of use before it was packed away in a climate controlled unit and never seen agian until it was given to me. This PC gave me no problems what so ever until about the 1.5 Year mark of me owning it. The Motherboard went funky and gave me the good old "No keyboard detected press f1 to continue" Now i shit you not I tried to get into that thing for 2 months, CMOS resets, Battery swaps, PS/2 Component additions, adapters, I tried it all. So I gave up and gutted the machine. 1 Month later I found a used gaming PC online (which was also barely used still has some of the CyberPower tape on it) and bought it and went to work on it the same day. I took out the GTX 760 and put in my old 660 Ti (that agian, might be old but has seen less then 2 years of use with no overclocking what so ever and has never given me problems) The motherboard wouldnt let me use my old Intel I7 930 (which was fine) So I kept the AMD FX 6300 in it, I didnt touch the ram, and I bought a brand new PSU from BestBuy.
SO the hardware is dated but even with the used CPU and MotherBoard the entire rig hasnt seen more then a collective 2 years of use.

AGIAN This is a lot of info on what might just be a simple fix, but thats why I waited this long to do anything about it. Im not entirely sure what is happening because the symptoms are not exact mimmics of similar hardware failures and they also seem to be playing by a set of rules and only effecting specific games while leaving others alone. There is also the fact that the Destiny 2 crashes honestly feel like more of some Gameside problem and the only other Reset situation ive had other then Fortnite and Warframe was solved by undooing my own stupidity (I installed like 60 mods at once) Which also makes me wonder why it would be my RAM (which im leaning towards) because if it was wouldnt it still be crashing Fallout 4 and wouldnt it make Fortnite crash as often as Destiny 2 or Warframe? and why would I be fine as long as I can make it past a specific time frame on Warframe and Fortnite? Im just not sure what is happening here. Even if it is my ram id like to atleast understand why its acting the way it is and not just screwing me across the board.
