    Solved Crashes and reboots, again

    As discussed the issue still hasn't returned, not sure if it's fixed permanently but I'm happy for the thread to be closed as of now. I am going to be re-enabling things shortly and if it does happen again will come back to see about getting this re-opened. For anyone reading this who has...

    Solved Crashes and reboots, again

    Understood. I'll report back then. If the issues come back again after I'll start a new thread.

    Solved Crashes and reboots, again

    Hi there, I appreciate I've not checked in for a few days and thought it best to update. So far so good, no repeat of the freezes or power cycles since the last occurrence on Monday. I'll keep an eye on it for a few more days before I consider re-enabling any of the other services. (y)

    Solved Crashes and reboots, again

    Hello again, thanks for the ongoing help. Honestly I've no idea what's going on with Google Drive, everything but what I mentioned above is disabled, aside from Windows services, so I'm not sure what is trying to access it, I've been unable to access it myself with the services disabled. I can...

    Solved Crashes and reboots, again

    Hello sorry for the spam messages but the PC power cycled again, hasn't done it for a few days, this time it took much longer to switch back on. 20-30 seconds maybe. Not sure what to make of that.

    Solved Crashes and reboots, again

    I've disabled the Nvidia services again now just in case and will see if it happens again.

    Solved Crashes and reboots, again

    Happy Bank Holiday :) Update of sorts, since Friday I have had zero power cycle events but just had my third lockup. I've enabled Steam services yesterday and Nvidia services today. I had a lockup on Saturday, before I enabled either that I was hoping I could put down to an isolated event (in...

    Solved Crashes and reboots, again

    Hello again and thanks for the continuing input. It's been issue free since my last update. Including games prone to the power cycles /freezes before. It's a little confusing but I'll take it. I will start to re-enable services etc as per your suggestion previously, but this is likely to be...

    Solved Crashes and reboots, again

    Hello again, quick update. I ran memtest86 again for 3 hours overnight and furmark this morning for almost 2 hours, no issues with either. I've been leaving other games idle (as this seems to be the only thing which causes the issue) as I realised I'd literally only been testing since the KIR...

    Solved Crashes and reboots, again

    Thanks for the pointers. I ran it at my default resolution for about 25 minutes and nothing happened.

    Solved Crashes and reboots, again

    I'm currently running the furmark stress test at default settings, 1280x720 - it's been running for about 20 minutes. Should I run it at my default monitor res or is it fine like this? And how long should I run it for? Thanks

    Solved Crashes and reboots, again

    Thanks again for the reply. Yeah the PC started up fine, no issues that I noticed I was running Satisfactory which has been triggering the crashing etc on and off but isn't the only game doing it. Don't worry about being repetition, at this stage I'm just desperate to fix it :) MTB here.

    Solved Crashes and reboots, again

    I think my PC failed step 1, so with everything disabled and the headset unplugged I left a game running and came back to the login screen, and nothing running. So I didn't see it reboot but I can only assume it did.

    Solved Crashes and reboots, again

    Hello again :) I wasn't intentionally being dismissive but I should have been more open there. I'll defer to your better judgement and uninstall iCue completely and the Corsair drivers to see if that helps. I still can't seem to attach the MTB but it is here.
