    Hello all,

    I'm at a loss here, i have no clue why this is happening, so i thought, lets post it here see if someone has some suggestions.

    Problem:

    After I've used my pc for multiple hours some apps seem to crash randomly and they keep crashing until i reboot my machine.
    one of the apps is Microsoft teams with an error in : C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\ntdll.dll

    there are much more apps that seem to have issues, for instance games world of warships and golf with your friends or some tabs in Firefox and chrome keep crashing randomly
    the apps in question simply seem to crash randomly, but mainly in the first few minutes of usage.


    If i reboot my PC the problem is gone, I cannot find any issues, and the apps don't crash.
    memory checks don't seem to result in corrupted memory, and i canot find a reason why it would be crashing

    the annoyance in this is:
    If i want to play online games with my friends, or go to a teams meeting the first thing i have to do is reboot my pc,

    I think this issue seems to occur after I've used VLC media player for a while, but i have no hard evidence for thatit looks like it has something to do with apps that use audio.

    If anyone has an idea what it could be....

    System specs:
    ryzen7 1800x
    msi x370 pro carbon gaming latest firmware
    16 gb ddr4 3200mhz memory tried 2 different sets of memory, also different speeds

    in use audio devices:
    creative soundblaster zxr with latest drivers
    Turtle Beach elite atlas aero , wireless usb headset.

    I hope some of you guys have some suggestions.

    ps. I work in IT, so complex solutions are no problem

    :)

    Random crashes/reboots - PSU failling?

    I'm concluding that's not a software issue but a hardware one, most likely being the PSU the culprit.


    • Power supply in my area has always been very inconsistent in summer time, even experiencing several low voltage situations system wide, with surges making my PC to reboot automatically. Despite PSU's got it's own protection methods, exposing it to several days -and years overall- of unstable electric flow could've inflicted some damage on it. PSU is not near top of the line and it has 8 years of continuous usage (Sentey BRP700).

    • I did have random, sporadic reboots over time on my system for a while, even while doing basic tasks (watching a YT video). None prove to be catastrophic until the other day.

    • Since the "mayor crash" I experienced the other day while playing a game, that rendered my system unable to install AMD Drivers even on a fresh new copy of a clean Windows 10 , I did experience several random reboots using Microsoft Basic Display Adapter performing basic tasks;
      • At the time of the "mayor crash" I had latest AMD drivers installed and they were working just fine and no mayor Windows 10 updates were installed that day.

    • Removing video card (AMD R7 265) and replacing it a Geforce GTS 540 for testing purposes also triggered random crashes and system's lock up (different behavior, but same result nonetheless = system crash). Even while using the Geforce the computer suffered TWO system crashes just by clicking on the "refresh" button on TechPowerUp GPU-Z app. Yet, the third, fourth, ... times I clicked refresh, system did not reboot.

    • Weirdly enough FurMark stress on my CPU and the testing video card -Geforce GTS 540 with Nvidia drivers installed- didn't make my system crash. Yet, opening Chrome afterwards triggered a crash.
    I can't identify a system crash pattern.
    The only pattern is that when I try to install AMD drives for my R7 265 the system does crash. The rest of the reboots are random and not logical based on the system stress at the moment.

    Despite inspecting the PSU -and computer in general- for failed capacitors, I really lack the know-how to effectively detect a bad one unless it's very obviously damaged.

    Bottom line: I'm purchasing a new PC overall -time to upgrade anyways- and I expect this to solve my issue once and for all.

    I really appreciate time invested in trying to help me, guys!
