@JM21 and @Cereal5 Would you consider the Asus Rampage V edition 10? I found one on newegg that's new. I am very skeptical about buying used motherboards and I want to make sure that if I do, its my last option and that its a safe bet.

I could give that a try. But I have tested two seperate kits of RAM by different brands. I did one stick, 2 sticks, 4 sticks, and all 8 sticks.

I can't seem to find any that are in decent looking shape. I found a sabertooth on amazon that's used but seems to be in good condition

Going with the Deluxe would just be playing it safe. I've heard good things about them. However, I have heard that their Strix has had some issues with them being DOA.

Hello! Summery: I need a new x99 motherboard and I need suggestions on your personal experiences. Parts list in case its needed: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/zWcz9J After months of troubleshooting, I have concluded that I need a new motherboard. Here's why: Stress tested my CPU with IntelBurnTest for 2 hours straight with the maximum setting. Stress tested my GPUs with FurMark, for 3 hours, just fine (tested them individually and disabled SLI and disabled one card at a time with the device manager). Tested two sets of RAM and tested them with MemTest86 - No errors. Used HX1000i and the current AX1200i PSUs - still get crashes. Used the "chkdsk" on command prompt to check my storage - no errors. Re-installed Windows 10 twice, Pro and Standard. I have triple checked each connection to ensure that there is no loose cables. By process of elimination, the motherboard is the only one left to fault (unless you have another idea). Budget wise: as long as it has a good reputation, I am willing to pay for it, I'm tired of these crashes. Anything past this point is not related to the thread, it's just an explanation as to why I want another Motherboard, no need to read this unless you're curios. What happens when I crash: My screen freezes but the sound stays normal (I can hear my friends on Discord and I have about 1 second before I can tell them I crashed), after about 2 seconds, I hear a constant "Brrr" for about 2 to 3 seconds (some times it never stops until I either power off my PSU or hit the reset button - But lately it always automatically restarts) and then it restarts. I tried to set up mini dump crash reports but every time I restart, no dump files. I go into the "Event Viewer" to check the system logs. I see the same 3 errors: Bottom Most Error: The previous system shutdown at (whatever time) on (whatever date) was unexpected. Second Error: Dump file creation failed due to error during dump creation. Third Error (Critical): The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly. Thanks for taking the time to read this!

So, I was playing GTA V while logging my PSU. I crashed specifically at 17:58:58. The last log is at 17:58:56 and I have attached the log file and a screenshot of the last log. corsair_cue_20181111_17_44_24.csv

@SALEEN961 and @jonnyGURU, I first want to thank you for trying to help out. Second, I made a mistake on the PSU I had, it's the AX1200i. I have the HX1000i but I gave it to my brother as I went for the AX1200i about 2 months ago. I still get the crashes. Third, I set up the Corsair LINK. I have attached a screenshot of what the iCUE software shows. The Corsair LINK software just says that my PSU is controlled by iCUE. I'm guessing I should keep my eye on the input wattage.

Nothing is OCd. Wow, I did not think of that... I do have to disconnect a USB header so I can plug it in. I'll do some research and see what I find.

I will try again when I get the chance. Do you think purchasing a Kill A Watt is a good idea just for reference?

I will purchase one because I've had this issue for the past 6 months and after intensive troubeshooting and part swapping, I came to this conclusion. I will keep it posted and will ask questions on what are signs of bad voltages. Is this the device you mentioned? https://www.amazon.com/P3-P4400-Electricity-Usage-Monitor/dp/B00009MDBU/ref=asc_df_B00009MDBU/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=167125429392&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=8595786008523930382&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1015138&hvtargid=pla-306572288073&psc=1

Hello! This is just a quick thread to ask if my hypothesis about my PC crashing is feasible. My parts list in case its needed: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/hH3MD2 So, I've been running into crashing every time I play games. During single component stress testing, my PC does fine. I have stressed the CPU, GPU, RAM, HDs, and reinstalled Windows (Pro and standard). My theory is that my PSU is not receiving enough power from the wall to actually power my PC. Here's why I think this. Every time my PC is connected to my wall, it crashes (during games) every 30min to 3hours. It crashes in random points in time independent of what I'm doing in the game (even if I'm AFK). Luckily, I have a 3000W Generator. So I just started it up and plugged my PC into it for about 3 hours and I got no crashed (it started raining and I had to put my generator back inside so I couldn't test for longer). Here's what happens when I crash: My screen freezes but the sound stays normal (I can hear my friends on Discord and I have about 1 second before I can tell them I crashed), after about 2 seconds, I hear a constant "Brrr" for about 2 to 3 seconds (some times it never stops until I either power off my PSU or hit the reset button - But lately it always automatically restarts) and then it restarts. I tried to set up mini dump crash reports but every time I restart, no dump files. I go into the "Event Viewer" to check the system logs. I see the same 3 errors: Bottom Most Error: The previous system shutdown at (whatever time) on (whatever date) was unexpected. Second Error: Dump file creation failed due to error during dump creation. Third Error (Critical): The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly. Thanks for taking the time to read this!

Hello! I am on the last bit of patience here with my PC and I really need help. Every time I play games, I crash. Some times it crashes every 10 minutes, sometimes every 2 to 3 hours on a good run. I can run day to day tasks like web browsing, word editors, image editing, and movies. I have OCed before, but not much. It has not been OCed in about 8 months. Here's how it happens: 1. My screen freezes but the sound stays normal (I can hear my friends on Discord and I have about 1 second before I can tell them I crashed), after about 2 seconds, I hear a constant "Brrr" for about 2 to 3 seconds (some times it never stops until I either power off my PSU or hit the reset button - But lately it always automatically restarts) and then it restarts. I tried to set up mini dump crash reports but every time I restart, no dump files. I go into the "Event Viewer" to check the system logs. I see the same 3 errors: Bottom Most Error: The previous system shutdown at (whatever time) on (whatever date) was unexpected. Second Error: Dump file creation failed due to error during dump creation. Third Error (Critical): The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly. This is a constant for every time I crash. I aligned the time on my watch to my PC so that I can check the exact time that I crashed to see if any events were logged. For example, I crashed at 10:10:30 and the event viewer shows logs until 8:04:44 then nothing again until 10:11:07 (which is the time it restarts) (Here's an image of the Event Logger: https://imgur.com/a/4sEg6KU ) Here's my build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/HNhF3b The GPUs are different brands though. One is PNY and the other Asus. Both reference PCBs. Here are the steps I took to try and troubleshoot: 1. Re-install Windows. Tried the Home and the Pro versions. 2. Tried with 64GBs (different Kit), 32GBs, 16GBs, and 8GBs (8, 4, 2, and 1 stick) of RAM. 3. Used a different PSU. 4. Tried disabling audio drivers (someone told me they think it was related to that) 5. Tried disabling SLI. 6. Tried completely disabling the second GPU from device manager. 7. Tried more than 10 different GPU drivers (older ones, newer ones) 8. Looked at my temps (maybe over heating) and it was a good temperature. 9. Flash the BIOs on my motherboard. 10. Asking it nicely to please run and stop being a dick, it just ignored me... Thanks for taking the time to read this! I really hope we can solve this as it's been going on for months...
