Hello,
So this all started with the first crash about 1-2 weeks ago while entering a lobby in "H1Z1: King of the Kill". The PC rebooted with no informational log in Event Viewer and no BSOD. Before the reboot occurred, there were no artifacts on the screen and was as if someone pulled the plug on the power.
More recently I've been doing many tests that were recommended from a collection of threads. Here is what I have done:
1) Ran Windows Memory Diagnostics - Passed
2) Stress tested CPU - Passed
3) Benchmarked GPU - Passed
4) Cleaned components of the computer
5) Changed RAM slots
6) Monitored temperatures - all are good (cpu @ 35Cavg, gpu @ 38Cavg)
7) Rolled back, installed older and newer GPU drivers - did no difference
As for when these reboots occur, it has been getting worse as I have recently experienced many reboots without playing a video game. A typical action to reboot my PC today was pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del, as stupid as it sounds. I more-so experience reboots during game play and more specifically near the end of loading screens or menu transitions.
As an example:
Menu A -> Menu B -- reboot
Main Menu -> In-game --reboot
Aside from the reboots, I have experienced occasional freezes (usually when sound is on) where the computer is in a functional state; however, if I were to attempt to Google something (being that I'm on Chrome before the freeze), the tab would hang and if I were to press anything on the Taskbar, it will do anything (there is no loading pointer during this and no window goes unresponsive).
As I said earlier, these reboots do not show any information under the Event Viewer and shouldn't even occur as I have "Automatic Restart" off under system failures.
