Windows 10: Shutdown issue

Running Windows 10 on my Dell. It has recently been shutting off on its own. Hard reboots are the only way to get it back up and running. ANd when you do that it boots up, shows the Dell logo, Windows loading logo, and then right when it will get to the sign-in screen, the monitor goes into power save mode, and I know it's shut itself off again. Subsequent reboots eventually make it work, and sometimes I get a blue Recovery screen where I can either Troubleshoot or go straight into Windows. I feel like it's not a power supply issue as it does begin the boot and show both logos. I have performed all updates and also physically took it outside and blasted the inside out of all dust.

AMD FX OC'ers Club

That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.

 

PC is Suffering Unexpected Shutdowns

Most important detail to me would be whether these shutdowns are sudden, in which case it's likely a short or PSU issue (capacitor aging maybe?) or graceful windows style shutdowns, which suggests software interference.

It could also be overheating components if it's a sudden shutdown. What are your thermals like?
