So I've had this rig I've built been rock solid since 2011 until about two months after upgrading from Windows 8.1 to 10. I kept getting random resets while playing a game, watching videos, even clicking through my settings or doing nothing at all! I decided since it went bad two years prior it might be my hard drive, a 1.5 TB Western Digital Caviar Green. So I wiped it and reinstalled windows 10. I get a reset and a warning that my i5-2500k is overheating so I put a almost new coolermaster 212+ Evo on it. Resets persist. I then decided to put another HDD in, and since money is tight, I set up an XBox 360 S 250 GB HDD to run windows and installed 10 on it. Again it resets randomly. I test my two corsair vengeance 4 GB RAM sticks using a physical button on my Asus H67 (I think that's what it is) motherboard called MemOK! It runs the test, and comes back without errors. Still resets, so I remove my Sapphire Radeon HD 6970 graphics card and try again. More reboots. Out of frustration and out of ideas I take the battery out of the motherboard and plan on putting a new one in when I get off work today (I'll update the status after I test that)
I get no BSOD even after disabling the bypass and auto reset by windows so I can get an error code to troubleshoot with.
So here is a rundown of what I've done:
-Wiped and reinstalled Windows 10 on my 1.5 TB Western Digital Caviar Green HDD
-Swapped out my stock Intel CPU heat sink for a Coolermaster Hyper 212+ Evo
-Wiped, Cleaned, converted to GTP a 250 GB XBox 360 S HDD and installed Windows 10 on it
-Disabled the auto-restart (skips the BSOD)
-Checked the two 4 GB Corsair Vengeance RAM with the MemOK! physical button my Asus H67 motherboard
-Removed my Sapphire Radeon HD 6979 graphics card
-Removed my motherboard's lithium battery (will install a new one this evening)
Basically my question is this: Is there anything I could've missed? I believe its got to be a hardware issue but I don't know what it could be at this point.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, this rig is very sentimental to me and I'm on a budget so this is my only means of a computer.
Thanks,
Zack
