Computer is crashing, no evident reasons.

[Meestagibbon]

Sometimes when I play games, mostly Counter Strike Global Offensive, when i'm loading maps my computer will sort of freeze, then it will show that everything is disconnected, monitors, keyboard, mouse, headset, as if it has shut off. Though it is still on, then when I restart the computer it boots fine. I have all my graphs on my second monitor, nothing goes above 50 C, the CPU will max temp at 50 C but only under full load, which it almost never reaches. I have no idea why this is happening, and I've been through almost every problem with my PC, considering it's age and I've never had this occur before, ever. If anyone can help me figure this out just to stop it, would be great, it seems to be doing no harm, just an annoyance.

Specs:
Motherboard: OEM HP AMD Motherboard (recently switched from an Intel Mobo because the usb ports died)
CPU: AMD A6-3620 APU
GPU: MSI GTX 760 Driver: 337.88

Memory: 8gb Kingston 1333
HDD: Seagate Momentus XT SSHD

What power supply are you running? I'd like the brand and name of it. Sounds like that's the issue if you cheaped out on one..

I'm leaning towards power supply failure.

Run a memory test as well
The fact your computer spits rainbows seems odd too

[WelshDdraig]

As for your problem, it could be a defective memory stick, my recomendation is to run memtest86 for a few passes, if it errors or fails, then your ram is more lkely at fault.

If your ram is good them do a pass of Prime95. If it is a CPU/APU problem, Prime will find it in around 5 minutes, although my recomendation is to let it run for around at least 12 hours as an error can occur at any time.

ram or psu prob i think

It appears he took it from the ASDF series too.. Those things are kind of random.. He better not like trains!!! @WinNut

His computer did the flop

Checked PSU, I used my one from Corsair in another PC and it did the same, i have a RocketFish, it wasn't considerably cheaper, maybe 10 dollars, but it is modular so I opted for it, it is 80 plus certified also. I'll test out on the ram, I feel like this motherboard is just complete garbage, as the APU is too. I don't want it but I also have no choice atm, I'll update you after I run memtest, thanks everyone.

I personally wish I had a class that was standing up school..

Looks like this computer flunked the class too.

It very well could be the motherboard. Sometimes OEM motherboards have trouble delivering power to higher end CPUs that they were not made for, even if they are label to support them....

(cough dell)

Ram or PSU, have you checked your sys log?

[Meestagibbon]

There's no evidence of a crash because the computer never shut itself off, and it doesn't show any crash screens, I don't know what happens after it shows everything is disconnected, this APU came with the Mobo also.

-.-

-.-

WinNuts version

"I like status updates"

"Oh no no no wait"

*Smack*

 

The reason I suggested PSU is psu failures typically don't show any signs like warnings or blue screens, and the computer stays on, and may have to be unplugged to restart.

-.-

Hey I like trains too. I just hope I don't have one to hit me.. Probably a good thing TomSka's imagination isn't how our world is.

lol

 

I was doing some interlocking simulation before, almost had 2 trains hit each other... -.-

If your memory is fine, try to disable APM Master Mode in Bios.

It was my graphics card screw, well the nonexistent one, apparently the one I put in got stripped and fell out of the case hole, in turn the graphics card was sagging pretty badly. but it seems to be fixed now, the simplest things, largest issues.

Haha really? Wow that's interesting.

Makes sense.

[STRMfrmXMN]

Marked solved then please! You can mark your own answer as solved as it was the one that fixed it

[Meestagibbon]

well it happened once more, I decided to switch back motherboards and it fixed this problem but I have more current problems with this motherboard sadly. So I will proceed to mark this problem answered, thanks.
