I've been having constant issues with my system, I can't seem to pinpoint the root of the problem. I want to say it's a combination of the motherboard and PSU, as they're both around 6 years old. The only new part in my system would be the RTX 2060 which I've had since launch, with no issues until now.
My issue is that I am experiencing random restarts, NOT SHUTDOWNS, full on restarts.
There is no BSOD, even when I disabled the Win10 "Auto restart on hardware failure" feature. I've used software to try and catch an error code before restart, I've stress tested every component from memory, PSU, and CPU. I've ran the tests uninterrupted for almost 2 or 3 hours each. I've checked event viewer to find anything and I see an occasional error and info logs but nothing alarming.
So nothing. I've come up absolutely no answers or clues to the problem. I've updated drivers and every little thing that I can to try and remedy it. I know it specifically started when I installed the game "The Outer Worlds", that is when the issue started. I've uninstalled and now it's happening often, even when sitting on my desktop with just chrome open.. I'm considering doing a full wipe to see if that would fix the problem.
I'm also debating on just upgrading my Mobo, ram, and PSU if I can't find any answer. I don't have friends who can loan me any parts so I can't test my system that way. I just want to fix this issue, it's awfully annoying.
It is currently running:
i7-4770k
RTX 2060 (Only part already upgraded, my GTX770 couldn't keep up with new releases)
16GB DDR3 1600
250gb SSD
2TB black WD HDD
1TB Seagate HDD
