Windows 8.1 Crash

[TehJim]

Hello, Just a quick post that I'm slightly annoyed about. Occasionally, When I shut down or restart my pc, it crashes while doing this forcing me to cut the power or hold down my power button.

Any suggestions? 

• PC Specs: AMD Athlon X4 860k @3.7ghz
• MSI A88XM-E35
• 2x4gb Crucial DDR3 ram
• AMD Sapphire R9 280X 3gb OC edition
• Corsair SPEC-01 Red
• 1TB Western Digital Green - Kingston 120gb V300 SSD
• EVGA 500W 80+
• Windows 8.1

Does it crash at any other time?

[TehJim]

No it doesn't. I'm just worried that in the future if I keep doing this, it could damage any of the components?

Are all of your drivers up to date?

[TehJim]

Yes they should be. Depends which ones

EDIT: sniperino the bit directed to a removed post.

 

on topic: i had a similar issue with one of my systems a while back, it kinda resolved itself, but you could try rebuilding the machine if you have a quiet day.

 a complete rebuild is more work than targeting bad seatings of individual parts, but it also covers all parts in the system, while also allowing you to inspect the parts for potential wear.

That makes your comment even more bias and still untrue. I would give you a brake and say it was ignorance, but not today. You are just stupid. 

a cpu is a cpu
