Help, computer restarts randomly

LaggingPotato
Go to solution Solved by LaggingPotato,

I figured it out, it was razer synapse. Deleted it and problem solved

 

My pc restarts randomly, most of the time it goes like this: log on, works fine. Start fullscreen application (usually a game), still works fine. Exit game, immediately restarts with no warning or bsod. Boot,log on, immediate reset. This goes on in a loop a few times until it works for a bit. Then it is completely random when it will restart. Maybe on idle when you are eating, may be when watching a video, maybe when you are playing a game. I updated all drivers and windows, reset windows, sfc, chkdsk, memory diagnostic, everything said it was ok. This is a fresh windows installation, installed just yesterday. Now on installation: if I inserted a hard drive with a OS it would just have a blinking white cursor. If I put in a SSD, windows would boot. If I tried to install windows on that pc, it would either crash or reset. Attempting to access any drive from windows installation caused a reset, booting into safe mode (only did this twice) and it was perfectly fine. But I get random bsod in safe mode. I remember a few: "kernel service exception", *something* service exception, basically anything with service exception in it. In normal windows I got this just once, something about kernel security service exception. This is a fresh windows installation I will repeat. Here are my system specs:

 

Fx9590 cpu

 

Gtx1050ti

 

M5a97 mobo

 

Windows 10 x64 (on ssd)

 

3 hard drives

 

550w corsair psu

 

12gb of ram

 

Razer chroma blackwidow keyboard

 

Some generic asus monitor

 

Eclipse mouse pad

 

Eclipse mouse

 

Razer headphones

 

Case from a dumpster, same with chair (if that matters)

 

System specs that worked perfectly fine:

 

I5 3570 (just 3570, no letter)

 

Same psu

 

Same card

 

Same everything but no ssd, 8gb of ram, and had a cdrom.

 

Motherboard os unknown, some cheap Chinese one withought usb or fan ports on it (except cpu fan)

What did you use for this?

This almost might be an issue. I'd start with RAM testing (assuming you didn't use a proper test) and we will move on from there.

NOTE: I no longer frequent this site. If you really need help, PM/DM me and my e.mail will alert me.

I used windows memory diagnostic (built in one), the chinese motherboard is under the "worked fine" thing so that is fine as is.

How long did it run, and what were the final results that it said?

Could be that your front panel power button connector is not mounted right and it causing the restart when you even move a finger. it happened me once.

Tier lists for building a PC.

 

Motherboard tier list. Tier A for overclocking 5950x. Tier B for overclocking 5900x, Tier C for overclocking 5800X. Tier D for overclocking 5600X. Tier F for 4/6 core Cpus at stock. Tier E avoid.

(Also case airflow matter or if you are using Downcraft air cooler)

Spoiler

 

Gpu tier list. Rtx 3000 and RX 6000 not included since not so many reviews. Tier S for Water cooling. Tier A and B for overcloking. Tier C stock and Tier D avoid.

( You can overclock Tier C just fine, but it can get very loud, that is why it is not recommended for overclocking, same with tier D)

Spoiler

 

Psu tier List. Tier A for Rtx 3000, Vega and RX 6000. Tier B For anything else. Tier C cheap/IGPU. Tier D and E avoid.

(RTX 3000/ RX 6000 Might run just fine with higher wattage tier B unit, Rtx 3070 runs fine with tier B units)

Spoiler

 

Cpu cooler tier list. Tier 1&2 for power hungry Cpus with Overclock. Tier 3&4 for overclocking Ryzen 3,5,7 or lower power Intel Cpus. Tier 5 for overclocking low end Cpus or 4/6 core Ryzen. Tier 6&7 for stock. Tier 8&9 Ryzen stock cooler performance. Do not waste your money!

Spoiler

 

Storage tier List. Tier A for Moving files/  OS. Tier B for OS/Games. Tier C for games. Tier D budget Pcs. Tier E if on sale not the worst but not good.

(With a grain of salt, I use tier C for OS myself)

Spoiler

 

Case Tier List. Work In Progress. Most Phanteks airflow series cases already done!

Ask me anything :)
