Ok here's a tough one. I've had this problem on and off for years. PC will randomly shut off, no warning blue screens or anything. Not an unusual problem on its face. But here's where it gets confusing:
It will run from anytime from a week up to 3 months without the problem happening, then suddenly it will do it over and over. Runs fine in BIOS. Its probably not PSU because I have 3 and swapped them all out and problem will persist, I even took one of them to get service check and no issues from the service centre. Changed ram sticks at some point, no fix. I think i even changed Mobo at some point, cant even remember its been so long.
I think the only things i never swapped out was the CPU and GPU. Tried removing GPU and using the onboard graphics, no fix. Running a waterloop so no heat, temperatures at 30C idle and never ever get above 60C even on heavy load. But load doesnt matter, it can shut off anytime - starting windows, idle windows, playing games, browsing internet - makes zero difference.
Windows 10 Pro
Intel i5-8500 3GHz
32 GB Ram G skill
3x Samsung SSDs
Nvidia 1070
Im really just curious what could cause such a problem. Anyone have ideas? I came to the idea it was multiple bad things happening all at once with same bad result so it would be impossible to isolate, but thats just conjecture on my part. Also, windows 10 sucks.
