Hi. Something is wrong with my computer. All of the sudden random colors pop on screen and noise plays, then computer restarts. It's more and more frequent. When it happens and computer restarts 3.3 voltage is extremely low at 2.94V. Most recent failure was the worst. I was just watching a video on youtube and nothing else, it happened and I was unable to restart. Instead of starting normally, screen was full of colors. After few tries I booted. Usually after some time has passed voltage is coming back to 3.28V. Currently short after failure it is at 3.07V.
It all started when I was leaving computer running at high load overnight and normal usage at days so it had very little rest. It didn't run all the time, sometimes it had few hours of break. I have underclocked my cpu from 3.4 to 3.2 and vcore from 1.4 to 1.2-something to keep the cpu cooler. It was all before graphics failures started to happen. After little time passed since underclock, failures started. But why would underclocking cpu cause 3.3V to drop? I bet I just overused my computer and something is at bad condition.
Most often these failures happened when I had pc case closed and 2 instances of a particular game running. It was a sure fire method to get the failure. It didn't use to happen with case opened, but today's failure when watching youtube was with case opened so it is really worse and worse.
