Friend suggested I create a post here as I've been having issues for around ~6 months and we've tried to test each component and can't really find anything wrong.
Basically regardless of whether I am gaming or just sitting idle my PC will just freeze, sometimes my speakers begin screeching and then my monitors go off and my PC begins rebooting itself back into windows. This happens completely randomly but is happening a lot more lately (Used to be maybe once every few months, and it has already happened around 5-6 times this month alone)
My PCs RGB remains on at all times, I've done some CPU and GPU Stress tests and everything appears to be fine.
I originally suspected it was the ram, but I have replaced it and it still occurs, I secondly checked the PSU and just from checking the fan, the fact that it's cool and using HWInfo to log it, as far as I can tell it appears to be doing it's job.
The only thing I haven't been able to test is the motherboard, because I am unsure how exactly I would be able to test it without swapping it out and I don't have a spare.
tl;dr information on what happens:
PC Freezes
(Sometimes) Speakers begin screeching
Monitors go black (Best way to explain this is probably that they go into Standby?)
PC Begins rebooting (All RGB, Fans, etc all remain on at all times)
Happens randomly
PC Specs:
CPU - Ryzen 9 5900X
GPU - MSI 3060Ti Gaming Z Trio LHR
Motherboard - MSI B550 Gaming Carbon Wifi
PSU - 850W Corsair RM850X ATX
Storage - 2x 1TB Samsung 980
RAM - 32GB (4x8GB) DDR4 3600MHz Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro Ryzen Tuned
Case - Be Quiet! PureBase 500DX
Cooler - Corsair H150i Elite Capellix
Additional Information:
I have a HWInfo log of 9-10 hours of logging in which this happens (Around the 10 hour mark - the end of the logs) Within these 9-10 hours I watch videos, play games and benchmark the CPU and GPU to try and get this issue to trigger
I have benchmarked the CPU & GPU using AIDA64, Furmark and some other applications attempting to trigger the "reboot" without any luck
Originally this only ever happened when playing games, as of late it has been doing it regardless, even when sitting idle doing nothing.
Apologies if I am repeating the same information or have explained it badly, if you require any information I'll do my best to answer and if someone can direct me on the best way to upload this HWInfo log for someone to check over that would be appreciated
Edit: When this first began happening I was running windows 11, I have since downgraded to Windows 10, I have also disabled Window's automatic reboot
