Hi all, hoping someone can help me as I'm totally baffled!
My PC has been working like a dream for 2 years, never so much as one crash. The last 2 weeks, however, I am getting a crash just once per day, usually within 2-5 minutes of turning it on. After that, it works totally fine again without crashing or any issues. Some days it won't crash at all, others it will. Some info -
So there you have it, in a nutshell. Apart from the fact the crash happens only shortly after turning on, there doesn't appear to be anything to link the crashes or seemingly to cause them!
Any thoughts are very, very welcome!
Specs -
Intel Core i7-8700k
ROG Maximus X Hero (latest rev. installed)
Corsair vengeance RGB DDR4 RAM 16GB at 3200Mhz
Nvidia RTX 2080 (sometimes manually OC'd, sometimes not)
Windows 10 Home
Corsair RMX650 PSU
1TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 NVMe
500GB Samsung 960 Evo M.2 NVMe
In was built by SCAN computers UK under their 3XS brand.

- Crash doesn't happen under any specific load. Often, it is just on the desktop or with Steam/a browser open, but no game running.
- It runs totally fine in games at high load, temps etc. I've tested it several times so how hard I'm running the PC doesn't seem to have an effect.
- When it crashes, the screen freezes for a few seconds then goes off and the lights on the keyboard mouse go out. The lights on the fans stay ON. The fans on the front/back then seem to rev-up to their highest RPM for 2-4 seconds, then turn off/go quiet and the PC restarts as if a normal boot.
- There are no error messages, blue screens etc.
- After that initial crash, the PC then runs fine for the rest of the day, no matter what I throw at it.
- I've tested under 'Optimized defaults', 'XMP' and the 'Gaming' presets in the ASUS BIOS, as well as overclocked manually, and it happens on all of them the same.
So there you have it, in a nutshell. Apart from the fact the crash happens only shortly after turning on, there doesn't appear to be anything to link the crashes or seemingly to cause them!
