Dear people,
I have bought this computer second hand and upgraded it a bit, here are the specs:
Intel Core i7-4930k (not overclocked)
ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. P9X79 (LGA2011)
8x4 32GB Patriot Dual-Channel DDR3 1600MHz Ram
Zotac 1080ti Amp! Extreme (upgraded from a zotac 980ti where the crashes also happened)
Corsair GS800 PSU
Windows 10
The computer crashes completely randomly, it can crash in-game, while using chrome, and just while being ideal and not used. There is not a specific pattern and I cannot get it to reproduce, it just crashes when ever it wants, not more or less frequently depending on the ask. Sometimes it crashes 4 times in an hour and sometimes it crashes once a day.
There is no BSOD, my screen just suddenly freezes for a second, then sometimes there is a loading icon next to the mouse, sometimes the application i'm using will turn black, and then the entire screen would turn black. I would still be able to hear sound for a couple of seconds, then it cuts off. The lights and fans and everything would stay running. To get out of the screen I have to reboot the computer.
I have tried running the full Memtest64, there was no errors at all throughout the full test.
I have replaced the GPU from the old 980ti where to crashes used to happen to a new 1080ti where they still happen
The crashes happen the first day I got the computer from the guy, just when windows was freshly installed, so I do not think it has to do with the software. I asked him if they occurred when he was using the PC, he said no, but then again I got this at a really good price and I was confused on why he'd go that low and he might be lying about this.
The bootdrive is the Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SSD
I am not very good with computers so please excuse me if there is any missing information, I could follow up with more info if needed of course.
Thank you all in advance, this will really help me out a ton!
Any help?
