    Sorry, the replies got into my spam folder. Sorry once more. I'd love some PSU advice. I'm thinking of getting 600W gold efficiency cooler master, as those are quite cheap. Something like this one: https://www.coolermaster.com/catalog/power-supplies/mwe-series/mwe-gold-650/ . It would be about...

    But shutting the pc down sounds like the current display image would be lost, which is not the case. I keep seeing the same image as before, showing that power isn't cut. Thanks for explaining the problem at hand. I will get a new PSU.

    EDIT: It might be worth noting that I'm using Windows 10 Student Edition, though this shouldn't change a lot. Additional Drive information as it could be of importance (from system information): All windows related files are on the SSD except the paging file, Downloads and Videos. 1 TB HDD...

    EDIT: For some reason im unable to edit my last post. PC has just crashed again dskchk therefore hasn't solved the issue. It was stable for a few hours until I started playing a game (which is saved on the HDD), giving me a clue towards the harddrive. Ill remove it tonight and see if crashing...

    Yup, quite sure it isn't thermal tho as I have kept the temps on my monitor once and watched them when they crashes (low temps), wouldn't make sense with the fact of mostly idle crashing the system. Thanks for the suggestion, ill look into getting a new PSU or at least testing the pc with...

    First and foremost, thank you for your reply. Thank you for raising the possible issue with the powersupply. For what it is worth, I also used this PSU with the GTX 970 and got the same issues. I've just used a calculator for the PSU requirements and got to 413W minimum and an advised wattage...

    Thanks for your reply. I've not tried running the intel video adapter on my motherboard, so I will give that a go, though I do not think that is an issue because I've replaced my gpu and it kept crashing. I have enabled safe mode since a few hours and haven't seen any crashes yet. I've had...

    Desktop Freezing (while idle)

    Hello everyone, I am here after ignoring this issue for about 4 years, as I tried a few things without any success and then gave up. Since then I've just restarted my pc when it would crash (about twice a day, though it's been getting more as of late). I've been having this issue since I bought...
