Computer froze?

Not sure if this is an issue. I was playing Planetside 2 about 10 minutes ago, the client had been open for 50 minutes. Then it just froze, pretty sure I heard an audible click. My keyboard lost power and the lights went off, the screen froze and my mouse stopped working. I had to pull the plug to turn it off. Upon starting the computer again, the keyboard profiles were reset until I opened Corsair Utility Engine. Is there something I can do to diagnose the cause of the crash? The computer had no issues rebooting and was on the lock screen in 5 seconds.

 

Thanks.

Thanks.

The best way to diagnose a system crash like that is look at the event logs. They will be the best place to start in troubleshooting.

The only thing we have to fear is... Stupidity...
