Hi All,
I've been having an issue for quite a while, so bear with me whilst I try to explain a brief history as best I can.
During gaming (and seemingly gaming only) my PC will randomly freeze, completely unrecoverable and then restart itself after ¬15 seconds, alternatively I can hold down the power button to hasten this and restart it with no issues.
So far, it's not under any intense load at all, Final Fantasy 14 is a common issue recently, World of Warcraft Classic used to be, then suddenly it wasn't, the other main culprit is Path of Exile, I found that disabling "Engine Multithreading" fixed the crashes completely, and they never occurred again. albeit with substantial performance losses compared to enabling Engine Multithreading.
I haven't tested Path of Exile in roughly 6 months, however FFXIV it is happening randomly, sometimes I'll go all day and it's fine, other times I'll crash within 10 minutes of booting back up - it never crashes when idle, I'm always doing "something" but sometimes I'll go through heavy load fight "scenes" with lots of graphics going on and it's fine, then the next I'll crash from solo play with nothing going on, different areas, never the same area and situation.
My idle temps are generally 40-44 Degrees, normally all spike (Motherboard, CPU and GPU's to ¬50-58 during gaming)
Specs are as follows;
