I found out my pc would restart itself without any warnings or bsod, then the screen would say my pc was shutdown unexpectedly.
i was only doing normal browsing and watching youtube videos. it also happened one time when i was playing a game.
after the windows restart, i checked on the event viewer to see what caused the restart but couldn't find the reason for it.
I'm wondering if my cpu is permanently damaged and causing the restart because few weeks ago i found out my cooler was falling off and it wasn't completely touching the cpu, so then i reapplied thermal paste on the cpu.
initially it would crash when running prime on blend/in place large FFTs within 1 min, but today all three modes can run more than 15 mins with no problems.
and max temperature is about 70C 73C 70C 66C. distance to TJ Max was about 40 each.
I ran a RAM test a while ago to make sure it wasn't the RAMs, and did another hard drive test to my crucial m4 ssd to make sure it isnt the hard drive either.
my question would be is it my cpu that's causing the system to shutdown randomly or perhaps it is other components like motherboard?
my cpu also passed the IPTD test.
please help!
