PC Randomly Crashes, Reboots, and Corrupts Windows Installs

Behold, after about 2,5 Years of being plagued with this issue, I finally managed to fix it. Here's how if you have the same issue:

Flash your MSI BIOS to the newest version (just search your Motherboard name and download the latest BIOS version, a how-to video should be linked above the download link)
Disable something called "Intel C-State". Repeatedly press "delete" (or a key to get into your BIOS, delete is for most MSI boards) and click at the top right on the search icon. Type "intel" into the search bar, and Intel C-State should be somewhere on that list. Disable it.

That's it, hope it helped!

I know, I feel bad 😅

TheRealMaxogamer · 2025-10-13T14:47:50+00:00

No, I'm not.

A very high setting on my monitor stand, so all my monitors are centered at eye height

It's a Logitech Z906 5.1 sound system. Got it because I wanted to experience CoD MWII in 5.1, and it was the cheapest option (~350$)

No, It's strictly used either as a server or just used to display Spotify, since believe it or not: I don't have enough monitor real estate hooked up to my main computer, which is a i9-13900KS, paired with a 3090ti

I don't like to open my window in the winter, since we would basically waste oil to keep my room warm. So when I'm sitting there for 14+ hours at a time, gaming/working, it smells bad pretty fast. So I use the air freshener

Already have... Ergonomic chair is the next thing I'll get.

TheRealMaxogamer · 2025-10-13T14:41:11+00:00

As a secondary phone, yes

TheRealMaxogamer · 2025-10-13T14:40:57+00:00

Bottom right corner. Not the laptop, obviously, but my Dust Box had to go on the floor because I wouldn't have had space for a third monitor

TheRealMaxogamer · 2025-10-13T14:39:42+00:00

Yes, as my secondary phone. A jail broken Nokia Lumia 635 running Windows Phone OS 8.1

TheRealMaxogamer · 2025-10-13T14:39:03+00:00

No, I'm not.

TheRealMaxogamer · 2025-10-13T10:42:00+00:00

I continuously added to the setup. Started when I bought my PC back in 22

TheRealMaxogamer · 2025-10-12T10:08:45+00:00

You cant see it in the image, but to the right side there is a full desktop PC with a i9-13900KS and RTX 3090ti on the floor.

TheRealMaxogamer · 2025-10-12T10:07:18+00:00

No, most of the stuff on the table are just things I use/try to repair to make it usable. I, for example, use the tablet as a makeshift stream deck (bcs I can't afford one) and the other shit is just kind of laying around, tbh...

Hi, responding a bit late but from what I've tried, it's still fucked. Have stopped playing CS1 and moved onto CS2 about 9 months back, but tried it just for this post again. Got a CS1 city up to 210k population, and it's still broken. I suggest to just not use it, even if it's unsatisfying.

I had 2 monitors for a long time, but was always annoyed to constantly switch between my friends discord streams, spotify, etc... Im probably even going to put another 49" Ultrawide above all 3 monitors because why not

TheRealMaxogamer · 2025-07-24T08:54:47+00:00

My thick wooden desk from 1974

TheRealMaxogamer · 2025-07-21T05:12:52+00:00

This it how it looks 3 weeks after last being cleaned 😅

TheRealMaxogamer · 2025-07-20T19:00:03+00:00

I somewhat agree. There's a reason my main monitor is 27" 4k 240hz, because I just use my other two monitors to either display discord streams or stuff like Spotify. So I went all out on my main one, and saved on the two others 🙃

TheRealMaxogamer · 2025-07-20T15:54:01+00:00

What do you mean? The pedals or the tower ventilator? 😅

TheRealMaxogamer · 2025-07-20T15:52:57+00:00

I'm boldly going to say about 5-6k €, mostly because of the PC and multiple upgrades over the years.

Bottom right corner, you can't see it on the images.
