PC crashing occasionally

[RedPls]

Over the past few months, almost once a week (it seems) my PC randomly crashes on me causing my keyboard/mouse/gpu lighting to turn off and my monitors go into "no signal" mode. There's even no flashing at all from my SSD/HDD led light either, so I honestly have no idea whether it's the CPU, motherboard or even PSU that's causing this and it's quite irritating.

 

 

Ryzen 7 1700

ASUS PRIME X370 PRO (BIOS Ver. 0803)

EVGA superNOVA G2 650

MSI GTX 1070

2x16 Kingston Fury 3200MHz

Samsung 850 evo 500GB SSD boot drive

2TB Seagate Barracuda 

 

 

I really don't know what to do to fix the occasional crash.

 

 

 

on a side note: I can't get it above 3.65GHz or it'll go down to 1.35GHz. ;_;

I'm having a PTSD episode reading this... Sounds so much like the issue I had the last time I got an AMD build.

 

Does the computer create any sort of "minidump" when it crash?

The minidump files are usually located in C:/Windows/Minidump/*.dmp and the full memory dump in C:/Windows/MEMORY.dmp. Something should be logged in your Event log as well, including the STOP code and parameters.

 

Have you overclocked the computer at all? Usually crashing could be due to an unstable overclock if you did.(regardless of how "stable" you think it is, if it crash even once, it ain't stable)
If the CPU goes down to a low frequency, it could also be overheating and shutting itself to protect itself.

No minidump files are created when it happens

 

I think this is the last time I had a crash (although I had to force shut down when I tried running prime95 render a little bit later)

 

My graphics card has a +105 core clock boost and a +100 memory boost and my CPU has an "overclock" from the EZ tuning wizard in the bios.

I would suggest getting rid of all overclocks and see how it fare for a while, that's basically the first step in troubleshooting, get rid of anything that could be a potential issue. If it still crashes, at least you'll know it wasn't the overclock.

[RedPls]

I know it's not an issue with my GPU overclock (It used to have issues with some games at +110 core, but it's fine at +105/+100), but I might reset my CPU back to default/auto in the BIOS to see if that stops the random crashes.
