Windows 10: Windows 10 Randomly Restarting while Gaming

This is going to be a long description so please bear with me.

I am having an issue where my desktop computer has begun randomly crashing and restarting. It happens when I move in and out of a graphically intensive program, like a video game (ex. alt tabbing out of league and back in again). The computer just shuts off, similar to a power outage (the computer is on a battery backup that is fully functional), and restarts itself like nothing happened. No blue screen, no error code, no nothing. After checking event viewer all it shows is a critical kernel-power error event 41 task 63, which as you know can mean almost anything.

This started happening only a couple of days ago, perhaps on July 30th. I have rebuilt my computer since then with a new motherboard, cpu, and powersupply, and it is still occurring. I have made sure all of my drivers and motherboard bios are up to date. I have reinstalled windows using a fresh install. Nothing works.


From reading online forums, some people say it usually means you need to update your audio drivers, which I have done twice to no avail.

I honestly have no idea what else to do at this point so I figured I'd talk with you guys to see if you might know whats up.

Here are my current system specs:
i7 8700k
z370-i mini itx motherboard
16 GB DDR4 ram
1tb samsung 860 evo ssd
evga 980ti
600w psu

Here are the system specs before switching out the cpu, motherboard, and power supply:
i7 6700k
z170 atx motherboard
32GB DDR4 ram
1tb Samsung 860 evo ssd
evga 980ti
HX1200i powersupply


Only two of the ram sticks, the ssd, and the graphics card have been carried over from the old build.


Nothing is overclocked, I ran a MEMTEST on the ram and it is fine, I ran stress-tests on the gpu and cpu and they are fine, temperatures and voltages are fine for all components, malware and virus scans showed nothing (remember the issue is persisting through a fresh install of windows 10). From my testing it seems like it's 100% a software problem, especially since my computer had been running fine for over a year until just recently.

What could cause this problem and be able to persist through hardware changes, driver updates, and a fresh Windows 10 install?

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

Windows 10 Ethernet connection randomly disconnects

Hello,

So this issue has been annoying me since i have changed my old i5-4670 with a ryzen.

Ethernet: Realtek 8111H (MSI X370 Gaming Plus)
Modem/Router: Airties Air 5760

What i have tried so far to fix my issue:

• Re-installing Windows
• Updating Ryzen chipset drivers
• Updating Realtek LAN drivers (both from MSI & Realtek)
• Updating MSI' LAN releated drivers (MSI Gaming Lan Manager)
• Replacing ethernet cable
• Restarting router to factory settings

Still no luck, keeps happening randomly. Sometimes it is stable for days then it is not stable for 20 mins. Happening when gaming or idle, or while streaming via steam link.
Windows' own issue fixer thingy fix the issue for the moment, re-plugging the cable, disabling & enabling the ethernet adapter also fixes the issue for the moment.
Also i am the only one having this issue in the network, TV and phones are still connected to wifi.

It is started to be real annoying, so time to get help to fix the issue from TPU. Thanks in advance! *I Love TPU :lovetpu:
