PC Keeps restarting randomly

[Goodman2265]

Hey gugs.

Im posting from my phone so here we go.

I was playing GTA V on my pc and the screen went white and the audio made that disgusting freezing sound.

I restarted my pc and made it to the login screen. The second I logged into my account the screen had a blue line flicker and the screen went black. After the screen went black it would stay like that for 10 seconds then the PC would restart by itself. I reinstalled Windows and I am able to login to my account now but after like 3 minutes the PC the the blue line thing and freezes then restarts by itself

 

I need help guys please

sounds like an overheat or instability issue. try reapplying TIM on the CPU and reseating the heatsink.

There's a couple things you can try, depending on what's going wrong.

 

Is it storage? Try to get to windows and run chkdsk /f in an elevated command prompt

 

Is it your RAM? Use another computer to download memtest86+ and make a bootable USB flash drive with it.

 

Is it your GPU? See if you get the error by disconnecting the GPU and connecting your displays to the motherboard (it will run on integrated graphics).

My BIOS doesnt reconizge my first stick of ram

 

It says Undefined 4096 MB 1600 MHz

 

All the timings are the same tho

I did chkdsk last night and nothing came up

 

I did notice my pc would crash when i would go to Windows Update
