My PC has been suddenly resetting itself for a while now. I've been trying to hunt down the problem but nothing has given anything up so far.
Specs:
GIGABYTE G1 Sniper 3 Z77 Mobo
i7 3770k stock
8GB x2 Corsair Dominator Platinum DDR3 1600
Galaxy GTX 680 SOC White Edition
Corsair AX850
WD Black
WD Velociraptor
Toshiba Q Series SSD
Thermaltake Level 10 GT
Been running the same install of Windows 8 since I built the computer back in September of 2012.
It seems to happen semi-consistently, in that it'll choose a trigger and stick with it for a while, but the trigger never seems to have anything to do with the rest. Sometimes, it's just chrome and explorer going when it resets, sometimes its a source engine game, sometimes it's ArmA 3, sometimes it's Blender (not even rendering, just a very, very, very simple scene).
And then it stops happening and I can do whatever was triggering it before without an issue. I've run ArmA 3 several times since it caused issues and it's been fine every time since. Same with pretty much everything else.
I ran memory and drive diagnostics, but nothing came up from that.
So far I've tried removing the SSD (the only thing I've really added to the system since building it), and I'm in the process of trying sans each memory stick. So far nothing has solved it.
I've been monitoring temps and stuff and nothing has been out of the ordinary. Dust isn't an issue inside the case thanks to it having pretty good dust guards (haven't cleaned it since building, and it's barely dusty!).
I've looked at event viewer and I'm seeing a lot of little issues but it's mostly programs I've been too lazy to clean up.
The only one that stood out was this one:
The driver \Driver\WudfRd failed to load for the device SWD\SensorsAndLocationEnum\LPSensorSWDevice.
