    Periodic bluescreens and spontaneous restarts

    Yes I did change the boot sequence to boot from the usb and I was prompted with the message to restart or insert a device with bootable drive or something like that. As for the psu info: yes I did manage to see that, and I understand that it was first reviewed in 2010, but what am I supposed...

    Periodic bluescreens and spontaneous restarts

    Also thanks for your patience, but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to use the pendrive link stuff you sent me. I downloaded yumi onto a usb and to create an installer it asked me for iso files. I downloaded linux mint and ubuntu separately and used yumi to make boots of them (?). I...

    Periodic bluescreens and spontaneous restarts

    I took a look at the page you sent and I'm sorry but I don't know what to do with that information. The newest reviews are all from 2015 minus one from 2016. Is this to say that all the other psus are obsolete? I don't know how to tell. I bought mine new from newegg around 4 years ago

    oh and I never overclocked anything with my previous rig

    Periodic bluescreens and spontaneous restarts

    Ok I'll try to boot from Linux and see how that looks. My xfx psu model number is p1-750s-nlb9. I took it from my previous rig. I bought it new a little over 4 years ago. I believe it's still under warranty as xfx states that it has a 5 year warranty on psus. On a separate note, I put in...

    Periodic bluescreens and spontaneous restarts

    also it's kinda frustrating because the restarts are so inconsistent. sometimes it boots into a restart loop, other times it boots just fine. most of the time once I boot in it's stable when I'm using it and will restart when I'm away and it's idling, or restart right when I first start using it...

    Periodic bluescreens and spontaneous restarts

    Ahh good to know but that's a bummer if it's a hardware issue. Well I have still been experiencing random restarts, even a restart loop that kept going for like 3 or 4 restarts in a row. I've been monitoring my temps and it's not restarting when anything is particularly hot, especially since...

    Periodic bluescreens and spontaneous restarts

    Ok that makes sense. Thanks for the info! Just curious tho. My pc now for the most part isn't bluescreening anymore so much as it is just spontaneously restarting every now and then, mostly from idle. I don't seem to see any of these restarts as crashes in minidump, but they are logged in the...

    Periodic bluescreens and spontaneous restarts

    Yes sorry I forgot to mention, but yes I did look and everything looked to be fine. Thanks for the explanation and I'll continue to monitor the changes. Sorry I'm still trying to learn a lot of this stuff so this would help a lot if I ever run into these things again, but after running "wmic...

    Periodic bluescreens and spontaneous restarts

    Hello again and Merry Christmas! I've made the three changes you suggested and will continue to monitor the performance. With regards to my ram, don't know if you caught it, but after swapping out the psu, I also swapped out the ram as well (from the 2 8gb gskill ripjaws to the 1 16g crucial...

    Periodic bluescreens and spontaneous restarts

    I may have spoken a bit too soon. After posting, I tried restarting and my pc restarted several times on its own and froze a few times too.

    Periodic bluescreens and spontaneous restarts

    Ok got it! I suppose I've been saying spontaneous restarts with event 41 kernel-power to try to distinguish it from bluescreens. When I experienced spontaneous restarts, the computer just goes black and restarts without any stop code. Didn't know how to properly reference that. I've kept the...

    Periodic bluescreens and spontaneous restarts

    Hi, I was able to swap in a xfx 750w psu but continued to see multiple spontaneous restarts. event viewer still showed event 41, kernel-power Afterwards I swapped out my two sticks of ram for one stick of 16g ram (crucial CT16G4DFD832A) but then also experienced another bluescreen...

    Periodic bluescreens and spontaneous restarts

    Ok that makes sense. I'll make a swap as soon as I can

    Periodic bluescreens and spontaneous restarts

    I appreciate the reply! I will certainly try swapping out to a different psu. I don't mean to sound contradictory but I'm curious because this pc was running fine for a few months with this exact build prior to these recent issues after the fresh windows install. I will be out of town for a few...
