    BSOD Exclusively (as of yet) When Playing Valheim - New Build

    Hey Bruce, thanks for helping me out yet again! You`re awesome dude. I meant the same box as in the same type of box, sorry for not being clear enough. Their boxes looked exactly the same, same specs, bought from the same store. Same memory, same frequencies, same latencies, different...

    BSOD Exclusively (as of yet) When Playing Valheim - New Build

    Hey people, I'm wondering if you guys can help me here, since I'm at my wits end with this. So, last week I helped a friend build his first ever PC. He picked the parts, I put it all together, installed Windows, installed the necessary drivers and software and then stress tested the build to...

    Solved Windows 10 randomly shutting itself down

    Well, i guess this is to be the last update on this saga. After some more careful testing, i got no more shutdowns or instability. It was indeed the cable that connects the motherboard to the power button. I did not need to replace anything, i simply bought some specialized product for...

    Solved Windows 10 randomly shutting itself down

    Update: I ran a whole bunch of tests, and i have come across something interesting While messing with the wiring in the case, i noticed that i could get the PC to turn on, and off, while messing with the cables that transfer power between the motherboard and the LEDs, USB and Audio ports, and...

    Solved Windows 10 randomly shutting itself down

    I forgot to mention, i actually did take the PC into a shop, the same one who built it actually. They could not find the root of the problem, and all they really did was disable DOCP in the BIOS. I am guessing they were thinking RAM was at fault, so they set it to run at lower speeds, that did...

    Solved Windows 10 randomly shutting itself down

    Update: The memory chip that i had previously described as safe and shutdown-free, has indeed caused a shutdown, after being left idling for a couple of hours, followed by POST screen when i turned the computer back on. Now i am truly at a loss.

    Solved Windows 10 randomly shutting itself down

    Something i forgot: I also noticed that with the "bad" memory chip, i get lots of stutters and all-around weirdness while using the PC, this happens if i use it alone, or with the other stick. This doesn't happen if i use the "good" chip by itself. I have to admit i may have become biased...

    Solved Windows 10 randomly shutting itself down

    Okay, so i ran a few tests, here is what i have: I checked the memory chips, one by one. Using both of them, with D.O.C.P enabled or not, i ran into shutdowns and bluescreens. Using only the stick that was originally in the first slot, i got shutdowns, but no bluescreens, and swapping it for...

    Solved Windows 10 randomly shutting itself down

    Another quick update. Today my computer just wouldn`t turn on. It would try, the fans would rotate for about 3 seconds and then it would try again, endlessly. Removing both my HDD`s made it so the computer would turn on, though just disconnecting them did nothing. I had to remove the SATA...

    Solved Windows 10 randomly shutting itself down

    Quick update. Never mind about it not happening while idle, it just happened. Whatever the problem is, it seems to be getting worse, the PC is barely usable now.

    Solved Windows 10 randomly shutting itself down

    Hello, Bruce. Thanks for the reply. I have already cleaned the case thoroughly, it was my first go-to solution when i first encountered this problem. It yielded no results. The temps are OK, both at idle, and while gaming, the attached "TEMP.png" file shows the overall situation of the PC...

    Solved Windows 10 randomly shutting itself down

    So, about a week ago, i woke up, booted up my PC and started playing some games and browsing the web, when suddenly, out of nowhere, everything closed and windows gave me the "Shutting Down" screen before turning off my PC. I though "That's weird" but thought it was just some bizarre anomaly...

    Negative, it's the same BIOS, i looked into updating it myself, but it was already up to date.
