Recently my PC started to crash. There was no rule, nor for how long it worked or under what load it was. Screen goes blank, as if it loses the signal from the PC, meaning that the monitor was on and that's it. At first I thought it was the graphics card, and the RAM, but I tried the graphics card in another PC, it worked normally, and I tried another RAM, but it crashed again. I opened the AI Suite and monitored the voltages in the Thermal Radar. +3.3 V is always red, as a warning, but nothing happens because of it, what I figured out is that Vcore voltage varies greatly, from 1.338V to 1.464V, then al of a sudden it jumps up and the PC crashes. 3 times I recorded voltages with a phone and one time it jumped up to 1.512V, the other two times 1.476V and 1.488V. Also I saw it go as high as 1.564V in the BIOS monitor before it crashed.
The BIOS is default settings, all components at stock, no OC.
Is this a software issue, solvable in the BIOS or a hardware issue?
