Hi all,
in the last two weeks I have been getting more and more often random shutdowns, sometimes reboots on my desktop pc.
When that happens, Windows behaves just like if I press Shutdown in the start menu. Sometimes this happens after a few minutes, sometimes after hours, during idle as well as with workload.
Since today the pc doesn't even stay on long enough to take a picture of the event log. I remember seeing Code 41 - Kernel Power and a few more.
Plugged in to the PC is nothing really relevant, the MX Master Dongle, a USB Fingerprint Reader, Audio and Display. Unplugging doesn't help.
My next step will be to boot a Linux live USB and see if that shuts down too, maybe it's a Windows problem.
Second step would be to change out the power supply since it is now around seven years old.
Processor has been overclocked, but I reset the BIOS already. BIOS and Windows are fully updated.
Specs:
Intel Core i7-4770K
Asus Maximus VII Ranger
32GB Kingston DDR3 1600 MHz
ZOTAC GeForce GTX 980ti
beQuiet 550W PSU
I hope anyone has some hints for me to fix the problem. Thanks in advance.
Addition: I managed to take a picture of the Event Log, it is in German tho. You can see two random shutdowns.
