Windows 10: PC keeps rebooting while playing

Hi all,


My PC running Windows 10 keeps on rebooting while playing video games. So far it occurred with World of Warcraft only. Both GPU and CPU temperatures weren't high.


For some reasons, I can't find any dump file to upload here. The directory doesn't exist, nor the larger file described here: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-performance/how-to-post-crash-dumps-after-blue-screen-of-death/5b11c5c7-5903-45b8-8348-0fbee6b2ba6e?tm=1517484313690


The error message in Reliability menu simply reads: "The previous system shutdown at 5:36:10 PM on ‎7/‎19/‎2018 was unexpected." without any further detail.


Note: I do not get any BSOD whatsoever, the PC simply reboot.


How can I forward a report for you to check? Thanks in advance.

:)

 

PC reboots (no BSOD) on CPU stress

Hi fellow TPU members,

not too long ago, the box my gf's PC was transported in gave way on the stairs. Yes, you got it right, that sent a PC tumbling down a flight of steps alright.

Stuff broke. Also, stuff remained intact somehow.

I bought her a new case, new CPU cooler and we removed the floppy drive, so far so good. But the PC started crashing for no apparent reason, without a BSOD.

I tested:

• Memtest86+, left overnight, 0 errors
• Scanned the HDD for errors, nothing there
• Left FurMark burning up the GFX card and drawing some power, no problems there
• Ran Ubuntu from a Live CD doing nothing special, didn't crash
• Ran OCCT, Linpack, Prime95, all 3 caused reboots within minutes
• Oh, and I disabled "Restart on error" so I'm sure it's not a BSOD.

Now, I can still try and test something CPU intensive on Ubuntu, but my guess is the CPU didn't survive.
Before I do anything drastic like whippin' out the magic wallet and get her a new AMD quad, is there anything I didn't see?
I'm guessing the motherboard could be borkered as well, but can I check that other than replacing the CPU with a working one?
Any suggestions on which proggies I can use from an Ubuntu Live CD to stress the CPU?

PC Build Steps

Ok just because I like steps i am going to create some steps. Please give me the stamp of approval/disapproval

• Install system in case
  • Remember to connect SSD and optical to same SATA ports on motherboard
• Turn on PC
• setup HDD
• run blend test in prime95 for 30-60 min
  • run realtemp at the same time

• While in Prime95 test
  • if CPU goes above 70c in RealTemp, I have a leaky CPU
  • if my system locks up or blue screens, there is an instability in the system somewhere
  • if my system does not lock up or blue screen, my CPU is not damaged and I am in the clear!

What do you guys think??
