Hello everyone!
I have been enjoying my build for a year now and of course, problems arised. Of course, it's in happening when I don't have money and time for servicing/warranty...
Rig:
I5 6500 (stock cooler)
MSI Z170A PC MATE
RAM 2x8 GB HyperX 2133 MHz
3 HDD, 1 SSD
Radeon RX480 HD
Tagan 600 W (few years old PSU)
It all started when I was playing Fallout 4 month ago - random restarts after a few minutes of gameplay. I decided to clean my PSU - problem solved for 2 weeks. After that - restart, no POST, EZ Debug LED on CPU. I replaced thermal grease and noticed slightly (no cracks) bent CPU bottom corners, on the other hand socket is intact. I turned on PC - EZ Debug LED CPU was on again, but after 3 minutes, computer booted.
Now crashes are really random - sometimes after a day, hour and sometimes with debug led...
Temperature readings are okay (70 on GPU and HDDs, 50 Celsius on the rest of components), I also measured voltages on PSU under load (benchmark) - 11.9 V and 5.3 V, I wasn't checking 3.3 V rail.
Windows log shows Kernel Power Failure.
Any ideas?
