So, I have this PC for around 1 year or so.
In the past 2 - 3 months it started randomly locking up and restarting
Locking up as in: PC freezes, repeating sound, mouse and keyboard unresponsive.
The only thing I can do is hard reset it with the power button,
Or in some cases my PC just randomly restarts.
I also got 2 BSODS, including 1 today.
First BSOD: "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL"
Second: "PFN_LIST_CORRUPT"
both are having problems with "ntoskrnl.exe"
Also, I found some kinda interesting stuff.
Firstly, my HDD is ALWAYS at 90 - 100% usage
Secondly, when I hard reset my PC or it restarts by itself,
I only have 2gb RAM usable out of 6gb, the other 4gb are hardware reserved for some reason.
I think it's either:
- My PSU
- My HDD
- My RAM
- Maybe dust? I don't really know but I'll try to clean it out.
Kinda clueless on what to do and It's really frustrating because It can happen when I'm doing important stuff.
Note: I cannot buy/swap parts at the moment.
And also sorry if my English is bad, it isn't my first language.
EDIT: It's not a prebuilt PC, I built it myself and it worked without a problem for like 6 months
EDIT 2: I have Windows 10 Pro If that helps.
