After about 3 months of enjoying my PC I am faced with a big problem. So I present it to you, the amazing [strike]spider-people[/strike] people here at Tom's Hardware.
Out of absolutely nowhere my computer turns off with no warning at all, as if someone pulled the plug, and then restarts giving me the typical message "Windows wasn't shut down properly etc. etc." and then proceeds to "process delta log records" and throw other fancy words at me.
Sometimes it happens when I'm playing some videogame, others when browsing the internet(although it appears to have been happening more frequently during heavy use lately, such as trying to change the settings on DayZ).
I would really like to know what is going on before my computer explodes
PC Specs:
i7 4770k
16 GB RAM
GTX 770 Twin Frozr Gaming
PSU: Corsair HX850 80PLUS Gold
Mobo: MSI Z87-G45 Gaming
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 2TB 7200rpm
SSD(for caching): Sandisk 64GB
Windows 7 Home Premium
I would like to add that I installed SeaTools for Windows and got a "FAIL" test result instantly after it started the "Short Drive Self Test", so that's good news. Although, after running both the "Long Generic Test" and the "Short Generic Test" it supposedly passed. There's an option on the program to "Fix All", but it warns that I could lose data if I try to do it, and also that the way to verify if it worked is to run the long generic test, so should I try it?
Thanks in advance
