Computer Randomly Crashing.

[Jihakuz]

Okay, the title is vague but bear with me.

 

This isn's a BSOD, it is almost as if the computer's IO is cutting out, as all my monitors and usb devies turn off but my computer's fan are still running. So this isn't OS related, I wanted to sau.

The crashes also don't happen under load. The first time I was litterally having dinner and came back to find it in this state and the second time I had a few tabs open in Firefox, Overwatch installing and Spotifying playing Slayer in the background, not a load by an means for my system (specs at the bottom).

My computer has been running fine now, for I want to say, weeks if not months.

 

Do you think this could be virus related? It doesn't seem like anything has gone fataly wrong, but who knows. Well hopefully you !

 

Specs

• AMD Ryzen 1800X (overclocked to 4GHz, that could be it? But the overclock has been running fine ever since I put it on.)
• MSI 1700 Armor
• MSI X370 SLI Plus
• 1x 8GB of Corsair Vengence
• Samsung Evo 500GB SSD (this is my boot drive)
• and two kinda random hard drives I found that I use for bulk storage.

 

Happy to provide any other info you need

Reset all overclocks, if that doesn't fix it try checking if your RAM is working properly.

I'll reseat my RAM and make sure it is working. But I have stress tested this overclock and is reasonable for my CPU. I've had it on since I built my PC and this crash happens at idle as well as load.

Yep, reset OC for now and see how that is. Do you not have a graphics card?

[NinJake]

Also, what power supply do you have?

[Jihakuz]

Meant 1070, not 1700 lol. I have a silver stone 80 plus platinum. Seems to be fine now though. All a bit weird I guess

My PC did that when going into sleep/hibernation mode. check your power settings and disable all sleep/power saving states. If it works, that's the issue, if not it can be a myriad of other issues like RAM, too low CPU power at idle etc

It does seem to be alright (touch wood), I don't what it was. Maybe a fault in the RAM of something. But I turned it off for the night and it seems alright now.
