Hi folks,
Looking for some advice in troubleshooting my 2 year home built desktop. Essentially a few weeks a go, my computer started crashing, meaning complete stop and power off (No BSOD, error messages etc.) and immediate reboot. It happens at random times. Usually when I do something with a browser and I am clicking on a link or button. But it does happen when running a Windows app. But for instance when I play MW3 it will go for 30+ minutes then crash.
I have read since it completely shutting down, that most likely it is the PSU. I have a EVGA G1 gold PSU. I have started the warranty process, not sure how long that would take.
I have gone and reset all the components including the CPU. I have also checked temps and everything that way seems to be good.
I have also run memtest and it did return 3 errors. From I have read even 1 is bad but I don't know if that is the cause.
Thanks for looking
