Hello, my PC is randomly turning off and when I turn it back on there is this F1 Over voltage error screen before it boots to windows. Most of the time it turns off fully, sometimes it freezes for 3-5 seconds and gets back to normal without turning off and sometimes it turns off and restarts, but the screen stays black and you cant do anything with it, so you just have to power it off and then turn it on again.
One weird thing about this is that it is turning off way more frequently when the Old school Runescape client is running, it usually take 10-20 minutes to turn off when Im logged in into the game. No other games really do this, I can play way more intensive games and it wont turn off for hours (it does happen with other games too tho, but not as frequent)

Here are my specs from the screenshots of cpu-z utility:

Here is the F1 screen with the error

I can't find anything in the mini dump folder

Would under volting the CPU in BIOS solve this issue?
Can this be a PSU problem?
Or is it a mother board?

Oh and I havent overclocked my CPU

Please help! If you need any other specs let me know, I will provide it if I can.

1| How do you have 12GB of ram on your system? 8GB +4GB? Are they both they both from the sames manufacturer and frequency?
2| Judging from your screenshots, you're on Windows 10. Officially the platform doesn't support Windows 10 although you could force installation via compatibility mode for your drivers.
3| Your specs do not include the make and model of your PSU nor it's age in service. Please include them.
4| I'd point a finger at the PSU as the anomaly.

Hey!:) thanks for answering. So to answer your questions:

1. I've added 4GB ram to the system few months ago and yes, they are both from Crucial and they are compatible together. The thing is that even when I did have 8GB ram, the cpu voltage error was still showing up. So I would cross the RAM off the list.

2. You mean that my mother board doesn't have proper drivers for windows 10? May that cause this issue? It actually kind of make sense, because this wasn't happening when I had windows 7. But I used windows 10 without this problem for about half a month.

3.My PSU is LEPA MX F1 600W (model: n600-SB-EU). I have been using this power supply without a problem for around 6 months maybe. This whole PC set is around 1 year old, except the SSD, PSU and 4 GB RAM. I actually had kind of similar problem before with my previous PSU, the PC would freeze (it would freeze, because the PSU I had had some sort of system to freeze the pc instead of fully turning it off) or turn off when playing video games. After months of trouble shooting I switched to Lepa MX F1 600w and the freezes were gone. Now they are kinda back, but with the CPU Over voltage screen and without any mini dumps.

I've read around the forums, would resetting my BIOS settings to default would do any good?
