  1. Computer randomly restarting and don't know exactly why.


    Hi everyone,My computer has been randomly restarting now for the last few days, I first noticed it after purchasing a new RAM kit and installing it. Reasonably, I decided to return that kit and get a new one, and the same problem persists. I've looked in the event viewer and unfortunately cannot make heads or tales of what I'm looking at. I have also recently upgraded to the RTX 5090 and have tried swapping the power cables to make sure it's getting good power, updating all drivers and BIOS versions, etc. I'm at a loss here and any help would be appreciated.Here's the link to the mindump files

  2. Computer randomly has black screen and restarts

    Taco this could be software also. Before you get all crazy, do as Erocker suggested. Find out the error in the Event Viewer. Look for the faulting module and the error code itself. Also check the reliability monitor. At the bottom it will have "View all Error Reports". Post a screen of whats in there if anything.

    This could be a simple as a bad driver install.

    ALSO have you downloaded or installed anything lately? STAY OUT OF THE DAMN BIOS UNTIL WE KNOW THE ERROR! lol. I know you. Baby steps boy, baby steps.
