Try it indeed! When it also fails at ram. Just try it with Memtest86 also. just to be sure.

I always keep my drivers up to date. My BIOS is slightly outdated, but the revisions don't list anything that seems related to this issue, and to be honest I'm scared to update it in case it breaks something else.

Have you tried running memtest86? I am going to try this tomorrow and seeing if it's my ram.

Well I have a 64-bit OS, will it still work?

The program boots prior to the OS, you don't even need an operating system to run it. So, the OS is irrelevant here. Before the release of version 5, it used to run only on processors with 32-bit instruction set. It's a matter of processor compatibility, not OS compatibility.

Hi.

I have been having trouble with my computer.

My computer Halts/Crashes when doing something that's heavy load, for example: Rendering a video in premiere pro,Playing Battlefield 4 and 3,etc. It doesn't even say a error, it just shuts off. 

Please tell me what could be wrong. I was thinking it was my power supply because it's a bad make and company but I don't want to buy something if it doesn't fix it.

Computer specs:

MB: ASrock n68c GS-FX

CPU: AMD FX-6300

RAM: Don't know the company but: 8GB (2 x 4GB)

GPU: Radeon HD 7770

HDD: 1 x Western Digital 500GB: Don't know what series.

PSU: Dynex DX-PS500W

Thanks.

When it happens does it happen so:

 

black screen,

everything stil running, but windows reboots (on mine leds on fans stayed up, everything running, then got the ok beep from the speaker as it rebooted)

 

replaced the psu. fixed

No it just shuts down, nothing is on. It just totally shuts off.

In that case your PC might not be set to automaticlly reboot after a crash. Mine is, hence why it power cycles

 

Did you buy the PC from a local store or online?

This really sounds like your processor is faulty under loads. Did you do anything to it recently? Also you said that you custom built your PC? How old is it now?

1 year old, I haven't touched the cpu in terms of overclocking or anything.

I custom built my PC. How do you turn that off? But it doesn't reboot it just crashes and I have to turn it back on via the power button. There's no rebooting at all.

You'd need to get a successful boot into Windows to turn the auto-restart back on. If you can though:

System>Advanced System Settings>Advanced>Startup and Recover>Settings.

About 2/3 down under "System Failure" is a check box for "Automatically restart". That's what causes Windows to restart after a crash, so you don't have to do it.

Thats because the auto reboot is set to off.
