PC crashing

[abdul94]

Hey so as the title says PC is crashing randomly like 5 times in the past 2-3 days...So it will crash sometimes maybe when im in game or even if im just browsing or in a skype call.

I did test some games over like 2-3 hours to see if my components are getting too hot, the hottest componenet was my GPU at like 69°C. Games i played was fallout 4/League of legends. 

 

CPU: i5 - 3570

PSU: Seasonic 620W 

GPU: MSI 970

MoBo: Asus P8z77 - m

Ram: Corsair vengeance 1600mhz

OS: Windows 10 (64 bit) 

 

Thanks. 

 

Edit: it just crashes showing the last frame from the game or what ever im browsing (second monitor goes black) and never has displayed a BSOD.

does event viewer show anything?

Could be a RAM malfunction. Check that if the Event Manager say nothing.

Run Memtest for a few hours to make sure.

It´s possible its something else, but crashes who take place after more than 1 hour are mostly no driver or heat or cpu problem. 

Games, for example,  use whatever RAM cluster are available atm. If one RAM Stick is corrupt, it could take 10minutes to crash or 2 hours. Depending which clusters will be used at that moment. Often Windows is crashing when oin Desktop when RAM is a Problem too. If its the RAM, Memtest will find out.

pretty much. itll tell you what errors you had when it crashed. and it should tell you exactly what is causing the crash.
