My custom built computer(in sig) crashes randomly, and I cannot pinpoint the problem because all windows log says is "loss of power unexpectedly"
I am going nuts trying to understand what this is, because there is no pattern to it. It is very random and happens once in a great while, but often enough to be extremely annoying.
Yes, my system is overclocked (i5-6600k@4.1GHz) currently. But I ran a stress test overnight and it was fine. No crashes. Sometimes it works for weeks, without a hiccup and then boom... another crash.
After a crash the system will not boot to windows. It keeps automatically going to BIOS screen, and no amount of restarts will get windows to load. But the funny thing, is if I kill the power, and let it sit like this for a good 20min it will turn on and boot into windows just fine. Every time, this "symptom" is exactly the same.
Please, please don't tell me it's the PSU. That would require me to disassemble the whole thing. A nightmare...
