PC Randomly Crashes

[blu4]

Hi guys,

 

I'm having an issue with my sisters PC that I've built recently. Firstly, specs:

 

Intel i5 2500

Intel DQ67EP Mini ITX Motherboard

4GB of RAM

Silverstone 600W SFX PSU

An SSD for boot drive (that works)

 

The issue is this:

 

You do something on the desktop, open windows and so on the PC restarts OR the display driver crashes. Both result in a non functioning PC. I thought the crashing display driver and restarts are caused by the GPU- an obvious thing to check first but... I've been running Valley benchmarks for the past 30 minutes and it doesn't crash..? The GPU doesn't overheat, the GPU is working fine because it's running games fine. Any other things to check? 2D mode seems to cause the crashes most of the time.

 

Thanks

Any entries in the Windows Event Log / Crashdump for this?

Just kernel power loss events. That's it.

Depending on the hexcode / event ID we could try to narrow that down a bit.
