Back in Aug, I do believe it was, I was having issues with my PC restarting at random times. Not sure what I did but I managed to fix it temporary. As now its doing it again. But this time it only happens at idle. I checked the event viewer and it's all Event ID 41 Kernel-Power. I ran Intelburntest for just one pass on Maximum. I have uploaded a screen shot of the test.

System:

Ryzen 5 2600x @ 4GHz

ASUS Prime Pro X470
G.Skill Ripjaws V *i think* 2x8GB 3200MHz
Windows 10
Seasonic Focus Plus 850 watts Gold

EVGA RTX 2070 XC Black
Noctua D15 AM4 Edition only 1 fan in a push config.

I wanna say it's software related but I can could be wrong.

If it runs fine and does not crash under load but only does so in idle / very light workloads you are looking at a software issue most likely.

 

Probably not driver related but rather a windows service, antivirus or even some kind of emulator software like daemon tools or VMMachines can cause this. It technically can even be something simple like a monitor with HDMI and audio enabled and a stupid browser (looking at you firefox) trying to play sound over it for no reason.

 

So it can be thousands of things, I’d start with the windows scheduler and disable all unnecessary garbage there, check nvidia settings for sound outputs via devices that dont have any or you dont want (and also disable them in windows sound settings), make sure all “unnecessary” softwares are not running, like drive emulators and similar and  maybe look at the antivirs as a potential cause, maybe run it a bit with real time protection disabled if all else fails.

@Nord or quote me if you want me to reply back. I don't necessarily check back or subscribe to every topic.

I'm thinking its the NVIDIA NvNode Launcher, as it's showing a unspecified error at 10:00:01am. I then checked my event viewer and I had a critical error at that same time. And thats when my PC restarted. I've disabled it in Windows Task Scheduler. See hows it goes.
