Hello, over a relatively long period of time now, I have had a problem with my pc, which has progressively become worse. A good year after I purchased my pc, I began noticing crashing of games, at random times, seemingly not tied to any action what so ever. Recently it has become worse, when I play certain games, my pc will just reboot, as in the screen goes black instantly, and my pc starts boots up again. I have stress-tested RAM, monitored GPU, CPU and RAM temps, and I don't see any anomalies. In accordance with the research I've done on my graphics card, it does not seem to be going over any limits, and I haven't been able to tie the crashes up with any kind of temperature rise. I have checked the windows event log extensively to check if I could tie any system errors to the message I get when it happens, something with "A reboot was unexpected" or similar. 1/20-30 times when it suddenly shuts down, it won't reboot, it will stay on, and all the fans will go at max speed until I hold down the power button to shut it off manually, and the screen will be completely black during this time. I don't want to go around throwing money at new hardware, as it is around two and a half years old, and I have not been using it in any harmful way (as far as I know). Naturally, I have been trying to fix the issue in numerous ways, and one of them temporarily worked. I went into the bios, and gave the ram a little more power, about 0.2v if I remember correctly, and it completely fixed the problem, but again temporarily. When it gradually became worse once again, I put a bit more on, and a bit more, and eventually I started putting down the frequency, along with the increase in power I gave it. It has become so bad now, that the ram is in 1866, and simultaneously I am giving it 1v of extra power. When I got to the 1v mark, my bios changed the font color to yellow, so I figured I would not put it any higher now. I do know, that the extra power and decrease in frequency is most likely severely damaging the ram, but I feel it is the only way I can get by, and it still limits me heavily. I have now decided I want to take my pc to an expert to have it looked at, but before I do I figured I would post here as a last attempt before doing so. Is there anyone who knows what might cause the problem, and how I can fix it? Thanks in advance!
