Defiled

No it's in the same power strip, I have pretty much concluded that the issue was the graphics card that I was given to replace my broken graphics card.

So far still no crash after replacing gpu... who knew that the gpu that was send to replace a broken gpu would be faulty? at least I hope it's the gpu..

2 hours later; i was playing diablo 3 and suddenly the sound stopped, monitor went black.. was forced to reset going to attempt to use a different gpu now and see if it still happens.. :<

I'm also wondering if I might not have enough watt on my psu.. Geforce GTX 980 TI SuperClocked + ACX 2.0 I7-6700K @ 4.6GHZ 16 GB @ 2666 DDR4 Z170A GAMING M7 KRAKEN x61 Samsung SSD 850 EVO 500 GB Seagate BarraCuda, 2 TB Seagate BarraCuda, 2 TB currently using a 750 watt psu

I'm not sure, I removed the hdd and replaced the psu with the older one and currently doign some gameplay to see if that was the issue, but since it takes hours.. it'll take a while.. after that i'll replace the GPU and reply here i guess

But i was running an AMD card for 2 weeks after the GPU died with no problems

Hey guys, a few weeks back my 980 GTX TI started smoking and was pretty much dead, so i started using my old AMD sapphire card for the next 2 weeks, then i got a replacement from EVGA so yesterday I installed it together with a new PSU and a new hard drive, I reinstalled windows 10 onto a new raid 0 drive that I created and everything was working fine for the first 6 hours. Then my computer suddenly turned off and started back up, in the event viewer I noticed and thought it was just something random, but a few hours (6 or so) it happened again with the same error. So i immediately replaced the new PSU with my old PSU since I thought that was the problem, but a few moments ago my monitors just went off and stayed off even when re-plugging the cables but the pc and gpu were still running ( at least the fans were spinning and LED and such). Recap: pc shuts down after installing new GPU, PSU, and new HDD which i setup as a RAID 0 for my new windows 10(Education version) At this moment I'm at a bit of a loss and appreciate any help I can get.

Welp, thanks guys.. I'll do some more testing with sleep mode ( by not using it ) and see if it stops happening.. Cheers

In the past I never had an ssd so I always did it.. guess it became a habit

well, when I reboot my computer the ram is fine, but when i put my computer to sleep a few times after a while the ram increases so much that it affects the performance, I wonder if the sleep is the culprit.. hmm.

I wonder if the sleep mode is somehow not clearing the ram properly..

Noo not my avast , going to do another malware scan and if that doesnt' help ill probably just reinstall my windows

What are you talking about? it clearly says 16GB. -oh my bad misread.

Why would google chrome help? Firefox is not the culprit as the memory it's using is no were near 16GB and even turning off firefox still keeps it close to 16GB

So lately my computer seems to be using a lot of memory (RAM).. around 50 to 99% on Idle / browsing web, I am unable to find out what the culprit is using task manager and RAMMap. Also noticed that this happens relatively often after i turn my computer on after I put it to sleep I have experienced no blue screens and have no virusses, do you guys have any suggestions on how I can fix this?
