[jakeee010]

Hello everyone, i'm having an issue with my pc. recently when ive been playing games itll randomly restart without warning. sometimes itll blue screen. (i dont know a lot about pc's but i have a slight feeling it may be a psu problem? maybe not enough power? if anyone could help me thatd be great if you need specs just ask and ill find them all out 

 

thanks

Specs are pretty necessary, do you have an overclock on your CPU or GPU?

lol, that rx 470 is sitting there being like "where's my stuff to render"

Is this happening only under heavy load? What is the code when you get the blue screen?

[jakeee010]

Mainly when im playing games

the error is kernel security failure im pretty sure

can you do a scandisc and repair?

HD might be bad or you may be able to salvage it doing the above.

DO YOU HAVE the windows disc?

how do i scandisc and repair?

and no it was the free upgrade from win 8.1

Few things it can be:

1) CPU/GPU Overheating -> Watch temperatures for both with an application like HW Monitor

2) HDD Errors -> Check with 'scannow /sfc' in cmd

3) RAM Errors -> Check with `mdsched.exe` in cmd, then reboot to run test

4) Bad GPU Drivers -> Update to latest

5) Power supply dying -> Not really a way to check.. so do all the other tests first.. if all others are OK, this might be the problem

see above. you can copy and paste ( without the ' ' ) in cmd widow when you get it up.

HDD Errors -> Check with 'scannow /sfc' in cmd this command doesnt work

No RAM Errors, gpu updated already, nothings over heating just checked hdd no problems. so psu then?

google how to do it. the HD sounds like it has problems............ scan disc and repair for your operating system.

Update - After my pc crashes and reloads it doesnt crash again until i completely shutdown my pc and start it up again
