Hey everyone,
I've been experiencing some problems with my PC for the past 3-4 months now, and it has been pretty sporadic. I can't quite figure out what the problem is because the problem could be in so many areas, so I figured I would ask everyone here what they thought. I'm a pretty casual PC user, don't do anything too extreme. I use photoshop, play some games CS:GO, L4D2 but nothing too intensive. While playing CS:GO a while back I noticed my computer was randomly rebooting, no blue-screen however, just freezing with a grey screen with vertical lines. I thought nothing of it and just continued to go along with my daily use. This has happened about 10 more times since then, and now I'm starting to worry it might be something wrong internally.
I'm not sure if it is the PSU, ram, video card, there are a lot of possibilities with this issue apparently. All of the components in the computer are fairly new, nothing more than a year old at most. I went into my event logs, and saw that there were some critical errors on there, all of the critical ones are labeled EVENT ID : 41 TASK: 63 (which I have also read is pretty difficult to figure out what is causing the problem). I took a picture of what the grey screen looks like, although I'm sure most of you already know what it looks like.
If anyone could give me info on helping me decipher what the problem is that would be great!
I can't get to my main computer at the moment, but I will post some DXDIAG information if any of you need it. At the top of my head the specs are as listed :
FX-6300 3.5gHz (not overclocked, stock)
4GB DDR3 1600
CX500 Corsair 80 PLUS PSU
MSI 7770 1GB DDR5
Windows 8.1 64 Bit
128GB SSD (Sandisk)
500GB HDD (WD)
