Hi.
Im new here, English isn't my first language, so sorry for the mistakes I might make.
I have had my Desktop PC for four years now. It started with this configuration (bought from a store that built them the way you wanted)
- NOX 600 W PSU
- Gigabyte GA-970A-D3 (rev. 1.0/1.1)
- AMD Radeon HD 7770 1GB DDR5
- AMD FX 6200 3.8Ghz
- Seagate Barracuda 2TB
- CD/DVD-RW
- Thermaltake Chasis
- Windows 7 Upgraded to W10
Runnin for 3 years straight. 0 problems.
4th year problems appeared: Random restart when under heavy load (Assetto Corsa, BF4, etc)
The restarts were more like "resets", because no minidump file was left behind, no BSOD appeared, and the only event recorded was 41 error from the kernel.
Decided to change PSU, to a Corsair CX750 M, so the random resets may be due to the PSU.
Electrical storm hits, new PSU becomes a barbecue. Buy a new one.
Again, under heavy stress like BF4 or randomly while using Chrome it restarts.
Check RAM. Twice in a month. Everything runs fine.
Check HDD. Runs fine. Decided to buy an SSD (Samsung 850 EVO 250 GB), reinstall W10 in it, use HDD for media and heavy programs.
Install BF4 in the SSD. Still resets. And 10 minutes ago, restarted again while using chrome.
Now few things are left to change. Maybe it was the motherboard the one that made (and still makes) my PC restart?
I thought about buying the MSI 970 gaming or the 990fxa.
Some help about the random restarts? And if not, any tips about buying a good motherboard for the FX 6200 six core (AM3+ Socket)?
Thanks a lot, I'm getting really mad with this issue
