I'm sorry if this is a repeated topic but I am unable to find a solution despite googling relentlessly (Unless I'm simply searching for the wrong thing).
I've had this computer years running Windows 7 with no problems at all, never once crashed, recently upgraded to Windows 10 and it began happening randomly, I cannot seem to find the trigger, I've run burn software, memory tests, drive scanners I've verified the integrity of Windows, I've looked through the event logs and can't make anything of it.
After a long series of testing I decided to reset Windows (keep files) and the problem stopped for a few days, being weary I didn't install any new software and I took it easy but out the blue while watching a video it happened again, rebooted and happened again and it began the chain once again so I reset Windows and wiped my SSD, once again it stopped for around a week then once again out the blue it started again.
Googling leads me to find that it is a CPU error involving power, I've never attempted to OC and my system ran fine, heavy gaming for years.
As stated this happened a while after upgrading to Windows 10, I doubt this is a cause but it might be worth noting.
Before I run out and buy new hardware with money I don't really have does anybody have any ideas on fixing this problem? any tests that I can run that can shed more light on the problem? and more importantly anything I could do to help prevent the problem if any more information is needed just let me know and I'll reply as soon as I can, thanks in advance.
