Pc restart while gaming.

[keavlar]

Hey all.

I can not make sure what is the cause for the restart.

I checked the history for sudden shut down, it did not said anything special.

The restart happens while I play, main game is Hero of the Storm. 

I can not see if there is sudden temp spike. 

 

i have 3700x

Noctua nhd 15 

corsair HX750i  - psu

GTX msi 1070 gaming x. 

 

I have fans running on auto - ASUS AI on MAX

ANd yet sometimes pc restarts.

 

When running on full fan speeds, never had this issue accuring.

 

Maybe you have suggestions how to check pc for issues?

I do not think for PSU to be faulty, but who knows.

i'm guessing that either the temps are going up or the PSU is faulty but that is more unlikely as you said that the random restart does not occurs when running at full hair dryer blast. get MSI afterburner and see how you are doing temperature wise.

Most common causes for crash after boot are memory problems or PSU having not quite enough power for transitory spikes. PSU thing strikes me as unlikely so my first step would to be do a couple of full runs of memtest86 to see if that produced anything.  Then I might start on various software possibilities and if those came up empty to maybe they an old school memory test that is more sensitive than memtest86 but is a much bigger pita which involves running one stick of memory at a time in slot one and seeing if it causes a crash.
