Hey guys, i built a brand new PC around 2 months ago.
It's a gaming PC and i have been using it alot.
I'm very satisfied with it and it has been doing very well.
Until... last week.
Last week i was searching some stuff about bitcoin mining.
So i thought why not mine a bit with my PC.
I downloaded GUIminer and i ran it on my GPU for like 5 mins.
My GPU was 65 or 75 degrees when doing it.
So i thought this wasn't worth it and i stopped it again.
Than i went to the gym, i left my PC on.
When i came back home, my PC wasn't on anymore.
I didn't really think it was a big deal so i just turned it back on.
Than the next day when i woke up i turned it on, had breakfast, and started gaming.
after a while my PC just instantly shutdown and rebooted with some strange sound.
The strange thing is that there seems nothing wrong with the temperature, my PC stays just extremely low on temperature and the gaming goes very well.
This didn't feel good at all so i downloaded malwarebytes antimalware.
When i installed it i did the scan and it immediatly shutdown and rebooted after 5 seconds.
Apparently i found out that it didn't have anything to do with a virus.
so i searched further but no luck.
Here are my system specs :
Operating System
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1
CPU
Intel Core i3 3240 @ 3.40GHz
RAM
8,00GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 666MHz (9-9-9-24)
Motherboard
MSI Z77A-G41 (MS-7758) (SOCKET 0)
Graphic Card
Club3d AMD Radeon HD7770 GHz edition
PS : I found out that it was already before i downloaded the bitcoin miner when looking at the system logs.
Screenshot of system logs with the problem. It says kernel-power.
