Alright so i have had this issue for months.
What happens is my pc just freezes up. The mouse pointer get stuck, keyboard does nothing (i cant for example do ctrl+alt+delete) and i have no other choice but to hard reset i.e hold power button until it shuts down. When this happens i can still hear sound for like a couple of seconds if im watching a youtube video or something.
Now heres the akward part, i literally just replaced (YESTERDAY!) the motherboard and ALL storage devices, fresh windows install and new case. The only thing that it could be is the RAM or the PSU however i ran the memory diagnostics test twice and both times it came back with no errors. The PSU is a Corsair AX1000 1000W 80+ Titanium so plenty of power and very high quality.
I know its not the GPU as i have had this issue using other GPUs and i dont think a GPU issue would manifest in this way.
The event viewer doesnt really give me any information other than Kernel- Power 41 (63) critical error but as far as i know that an error thats generated whenever the pc is shutdown improperly so it means nothing. Other than that i just see a bunch of DistributedCOM warnings but those are also nothing to worry about as far as i know.
BIOS is updated, latest graphics drivers etc etc its all there.
I just realised a couple of minutes ago that my PSU has had the "zero rpm" button pushed in all this time, i doubt it would cause these kinds of issues and besides i have never frozen in games its always doing simple things like going through files or watching youtube/browsing. But "zero rpm" on the PSU is now off.
Temps are fine, running CinebenchR23 i get low 70c at the most on the 5900x and GPU is chilling in games as i tend to use a fairly aggressive curve.
What the heck am i dealing with? I really have no idea where to go from here.
