Windows 10 PC Freezes or Restarts Randomly

[GalaxyGamer]

Hey guys I'm having a problem with my PC freezing or restarting randomly. i have done a lot of research on this and have tried. running stability tests using things like Furmark and other tests, i have tried testing my ram, I've tried checking cpu temps. I seen somewhere that the new creators update caused others to freeze, but it's been happening before the update even came out. if anyone could give me a solution or have any ideas id like to hear them. also could it also be a surge? like if i bought a surge protector would that help?

 

I will list my PC specs just in case it's needed.

CPU: I7-2600K

RAM: 8GB 1333MHZ KINGSTON

MOBO: ASUS P8H61-M EVO
CPU COOLER: CORSAIR H115i
GPU: MSI GTX 980 G
HDD: 4x 320GB (RAID 0) (UNKNOWN BRAND)

Your power shouldn't be surging that much, if it happens alot your PSU would be dead by now. You could ask your power company to test your power but I wouldn't see that being an issue. Plus you'd see flashes on your screen + other devices would be going crazy.

 

The most likely is your Windows install is getting a bit dogey, you should try doing a recovery without deleting your personal files (that's Settings -> Update & Recovery -> Recovery -> Reset -> Keep files)

 

As Windows seems to be acting up already, back up anything important now before it's too late.
