hi, i have a ~2 yr old pc that recently went crazy. it started about a week ago when it rebooted randomly once, which i didnt paid much attention to. but in the last few days it got worse, random reboots and freezes occurs with increased frequency but there were times when i was able to use it continuously for hours. the issue became intolerable today when the pc reboots as soon as it was started up. it continues to go in this "loop" until it finally boots up, sometimes until the loading windows screen, and a few times into windows - but it freezes again in a few minutes into using it.
windows event viewer shows the following record for all the reboots or freezes i got:
Log Name: System
Source: Microsoft-Windows-Kernel-Power
Event ID: 41
Level: Critical
Task Category = 63
Description:
The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.
the details shows:
BugcheckCode 0
BugcheckParameter1 0x0
BugcheckParameter2 0x0
BugcheckParameter3 0x0
BugcheckParameter4 0x0
SleepInProgress false
PowerButtonTimestamp 0
i've googled possible causes and tried to remedy it without any result. It occurs randomly, totally not program or process specific. the screen just freezes or restarts without a BSOD. i've managed to run tests in between the freezes/reboot on memory, hdd, graphics card and processor test (stress testing all) an all results were without any issue. also ran the system with non-overclocked mode and also windows safe mode - but issue still occurs. im suspecting its a motherboard issue but i have no means of testing that. i was wondering if you guys have came across such issues as i've tried everything i could and im rather dependent on my pc for my school work. thanks!
