Windows 10 crashes all the time, 8.1 don't

[steve8777]

Hi,
Since from the release of windows 10 I have a lot of weird crashes/freezes.
I thought its something that will be fixed with updates to the os but it didn't..
Everytime I'm using Windows 10 it crashes randomly , and when I downgrade to Windows 8.1 it never happened.
I've got all the updates, and installed all the latest drivers. Is there something I can do?
This is the error I get in the event viewer - "The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly."

My build is -
CPU: Intel i7 5820k
Motherboard: MSI Sli plus x99s
RAM: Crucial Ballistix Sport LT DDR4 Memory 8GB 2400MHz
PSU: SeaSonic 850W 80+ Bronze M12II-850

Sounds like you should perform a clean install of Windows 10 into your system. Have you ever performed a clean install of Windows 10?

Did you upgrade and then do a clean install? If not, Id suggest backing up your data and do a Clean Install as Rocky suggested.

Oh yes, I completely forgot to mention "back up." Very good advice.

I did try to clean install windows a few times, didn't help either

The very simple answer to this is;

If it is not a Windows problem then it is a hardware issue. Maybe your PSU is faulty.

That does not make sense because in windows 8.1 I didn't have any issues

Have you over clocked anything if yes set them to normal
then go to power options and click on what the power button does
then click on change settings that are currently unavailable
then uncheck Turn on fast startup
and sleep
then again go to power options click on change plan setting that is beside balanced
then click on change advanced power settings
then click on change settings that are currently unavailable
then go down and click on Intel(R)Graphics settings (The name depends on your graphics card)
and then click on Intel(R)Graphics power plan and change everything to Balanced
Then Change PCI Express settings to OFF
Then Restart

let me know if that fixes it

OK, but if you have eliminated the possibility of the problem being an OS issue, which I would say you conclusively did, then the problem has to be a hard ware issue.

Seems like you have eliminated Windows 10 as being the culprit, now it is time to test your hardware.
