Hello, I had a weird incident where my pc crashed, I was just chilling on RuneScape getting stuff done, then all of a sudden my keyboard and mouse lights turned off and my pc locked up completely I had to turn it off via the power button, I’m not sure if these is related to it but during the evening must hard drive randomly disconnected itself and then came up as unrecognised, I had to restart and unplug and put it back in for it to work, I checked the event log but found absolutely no indicator as to what caused the lockup, any advice is greatly appreciated
Specs in sig are accurate but adding here for simplicity thanks lutfij
CPU: ryzen 7 5800x
CPU cooler: game max iceberg
Motherboard: msi x570 mpg gaming edge
Ram: 64gb Kingston fury beast
SSD/HDD: two 2tb hdd/ssd ,one500gb ssd, one 256gb ssd, one 500gb nvme *os drive* plus one 1tb external usb drive
GPU: rtx 3070 palit
PSU: be quite system power 9 700w 80 plus bronze
Chassis:game max diamond
OS: windows 10 64bit
Adding some extra information, it was a similar crash to when my os nvme died, however instead of having issues after it crashed it seems to be okay, unsure if it’s been fixed
I did a sfc /scannow check and it found and fixed corrupt files,
I was also getting some strange *metadata* errors in event viewer but not around the same time it crashed only after I rebooted the system
I was also seeing that there were events saying it couldn’t connect to the update server
My thoughts so far are that it’s either a dying drive again *could be one of my internal ones or the external 1tb I have which randomly disconnected itself and wouldn’t be recognised until I restarted*
Or it could be that windows update attempted to update but something somewhere got corrupted
And caused some strange issue somewhere that caused my system to lockup
