Hello guys.
I have lately been experiencing random restarts, shutdowns, freezes and BSOD. This appeared right after I cleaned out my PC (regular dust cleaning). After I booted up my PC after that, it just went downhill, primarily with freezes or hold ups.
My system specs are as follows:
1. Corsair AX 860i (fairly new ~ 3 months old)
2. Samsung 950 pro 256 GB, Samsung Evo 840 and 850, 128 GB and 256 GB and a 1 TB HDD.
3. Asus Nvidia GTX 1070 strix gaming
4. 32 gb RAM, Dominator Platinum 2666 mHz
5. Was running Windows 10, but reinstalled to 8.1 (issue appeared first when I had W10, but still occurs in 8.1.
6. Running with an Intel Core i7 5820k (currently not OC'ed, but was previously sitting at 4.4 GHz @1.295v.
7. Motherboard is Asus Rampage V Extreme.
The freeze, hold up or unexpected reboot can occur after a few minutes or after ~3 hours tops. I haven't been able to have the computer run longer than that. What's interesting is that the freeze is the most occuring one, where the BSOD is the least occurring one.
Here's what I have tried so far:
1. I have tested the graphic card (I have a 980 ti and 2x 770 lying around, the issue still persisted with those.
2. I've run memtest, which showed no errors.
3. I've tested each individual ram stick, all had a BSOD occurring.
4. I've run CCleaner to see if there was some registry issues or something else, which came back empty-handed.
5. I've checked drivers, updated old ones and what else I could think of.
6. I've disassembled and reassembled the computer to see if any cables weren't sitting correctly.
7. I've stress tested the CPU numerous times with prime95, where sometimes there would be no issues, and other times it would freeze shortly after (very random results).
8. Checked for bent pins, which were fine.
9. Checked the .dmp files to see which error I got there, where I got the most occurring error to be nvme.sys to be the case, updated that driver and haven't gotten that error since. The other error I was getting is the Whea_Uncorrectable_Error, which is either a hardware issue, or possibly a driver issue?.
10. I've tried to reapply thermal paste, but temperature seems to be fine. Sitting around 28-30 degrees at idle and 45-50 tops while gaming.
11. The list goes on, but this is what just came to mind.
The event viewer also showed the message that the system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first, as well as the previous system shutdown at xx.xx.xx on xx.xx.xxxx was unexpected.
There's also an interesting thing that has occurred in the even manager: The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x124.
There has been another one as well that I haven't seen before, tonight:
A fatal hardware error has occured.
Reported by component: Processor Core
Error source: Machine Check Exception
Error Type: Cache Hierarchy Error
Processor APIC ID: 0
It is also worth noting that I have the latest BIOS and have tried to clear CMOS multiple times with no luck. All of this makes me believe that it is either the CPU, MB or Memory that has some kind of issues.
Sorry for the long post, but I really hope anyone can help me with my issue, since I'm starting to lose hope.
