Random Windows 10 restarts

[JPlava]

My computer has randomly been shutting down seemingly when I try to open a game or do any more than browse the internet. Does anyone know what the problem might be? (I have tried everything Microsoft says to do)

Have you checked temperatures? You might be overheating.

Yes I have and all CPU cores are at 35 degrees and my GPU is at 30

When you start a game? Usually 30 degrees are normal numbers for idling, but try starting a game while monitoring temperatures.

check the windows event viewer

 

start-> type in event. then go to windows -> system. Check for the timestamps of the resets and see what it says.

After 5 minutes of Fur Mark my GPU leveled out at 62 degrees and running a CPU stress test it leveled out at 50 degrees

and where do I type in event?

I said press start, type in "event".

I found it, none of the events say restart though

I said look for errors, usually after the fault or error there is a restart event, look for "winlogon" and see what error went before it.

The event viewer has a lot of useless messages in there that you have to sift through to get to the BSOD errors.

The ones you're looking for are red with a big X in the middle and are labeled error.

 

You might want to also check your reliability history.

It's way easier to sift through and may have some clues for you.

You won't get everything you get from event viewer in there though..

 

So, are you overclocking at all?

because you get unexpected shutdowns when you have a CPU overclock or underclock that needs more voltage.

I have only overclocked my fly and I have increased my voltage, my CPU is locked so I haven’t done anything there but I did the over locking a while ago and this issue is pretty recent

Okay, just in case, I'd go into your bios and reset everything to defaults or better yet clear the CMOS.

What do you mean by overclocking your fly though?

Sounds like a typo.

I meant GPU ?

Thank you all for your help, I determined that it was one of my memory sticks and I will be ordering a new one shortly as 4gb of ram is rather slow!
