So I had this issue once a few days ago while actually using my computer, playing a game, and the computer just shut down then restarted on it's own maybe 5 seconds later.
This time, it happened 4 hours ago, while I was sleeping and computer was idle. I went through all my Windows Event Viewer logs but could not find anything other than it rebooted from a bugcheck and system was restarted. I would upload the memory.dmp but it's almost 1gb in size..
The only thing that has changed is my GPU, otherwise the computer has been running great for over 2 years. Shitty luck because my new GPU actually needs RMA, waiting on replacement. One of two fans on the GPU died and is making a weird 'chirp' every few seconds, as if it's still trying to turn that fan on. Also my GPU runs about 81-85 because of this dead fan after turning on my case fans to 100%. Before it would be stuck at 88. (all under load, idle is around 40)
My question is, could a bad GPU fan/temp or power problem be causing this? What other options do I have? How can I test/verify what this problem may be?
Some more info I found through BlueScreenView:
Caused By Driver: watchdog.sys
Caused by Address: watchdog.sys+40db
I also just noticed another similar thread to mine and I checked and noticed I have the Kernel-Power 41 code as well, but my temps are in fact high. Would this affect anything or is my PSU likely at fault too? It's a corsair rm750i. How could I test if the PSU would be at fault?
