Recently my computer (relatively new, built a few months ago) has been experiencing some random reboots out of nowhere. Here is what I have observed:
1. I've noticed that this always occurs 20-30 minutes into a light gaming session (fortnite, pubg, etc).
2. When not under heavy load, the reboots occur 6-7 hours into a work session or watching videos
3. I've been monitoring all my temperatures/load: CPU/GPU hovers around 35-40 degrees idle, 50-60 degrees under load
4. Event Viewer indicates that this is an "Event ID: 41 - The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly"
Specifications (nothing is overclocked atm):
CPU: i5-8600k
Motherboard: Asrock Z370 Extreme4
RAM: 2 x 8GB
GPU: 970 GTX
HDD Samsung Evo 960 NVMe 250 GB + Samsung 850 Evo 250 GB
PSU: Coolermaster V650 (semi-modular) + cablemod extensions
What I've done:
1. Reconnected/reseated the PSU/GPU/HDD/Motherboard
2. Ran chkdsk/memtest/virus scans + updated drivers
3. Monitored temps/usage + PSU wattage usage (all within normal range)
Based on research, people who are experiencing these reboot issues were known to have faulty PSUs. The V650 that I own is 3 years old and I'm using cablemod extensions to connect to my core components (mobo + GPU). However, it is known to be a reliable model so I don't believe this is causing the problem.
Any input is appreciated, thanks!
