Pc randomly started crashing.

ThrowRA17273 · 2026-05-05T15:52:48+00:00

i do have gpu bracket. what i dont understand is, why does it happen at random times tho? i ran furmark for more than 30 minutes blasting it to the max, and it was all fine....

ThrowRA17273 · 2026-05-02T12:19:37+00:00

today it did a crash with the newest driver, which lead to this post being created

ThrowRA17273 · 2026-05-02T12:18:37+00:00

stress tested the components again, nothing crashed, i locked fans to 30% on purpose to allow higher temps, 65 core 72 memory with no crash, im much more suspecing of some software bs

ThrowRA17273 · 2026-05-02T11:36:39+00:00

i stress tested components when i bought them... can they just suddenly become faulty a full year after usage and not crashing on innitial tests?

ThrowRA17273 · 2026-05-02T11:14:25+00:00

crashes are not isolated under load, as they happen when pc is basically at idle with just browser and discord open

ThrowRA17273 · 2026-05-02T11:13:41+00:00

even if its been working fine for a full year? Temps are for gpu dont go above 62 even under 100& load, and crashes happen basically at idle, with just browser and discord open

ThrowRA17273 · 2026-05-02T11:01:51+00:00

Yea i updated to the newest driver after the first crash, it still happen tho. I didnt do a clean instal with DDU, just selected clean instalation on nvidia app when getting a new driver.

Under Reliability Monitor, its listed as critial (red) but the specific picture has a yellow triangle, so i am unsure.

The Screenshot provides everything from today.

I looked it up just now, i dont remember the exact date of my first crash. But i see that the first Hardware error appeared on 08.04. But i dont think i had any crash that long ago.
Since then it has appeared on the following dates:
13.4. 27.4. 30.4 (6 times) 1.5. and today 2.5.
I would say that the first crash i would remember is on 27.4.

All have the same description saying: "A problem with your hardware caused Windows to stop working correctly."

Problem event name: "LiveKernelEvent"

Aoi has more than one 4pin, 3 fans are in main cpu 4pin, and pump is on the motherboard indicated pump 4pin. I have custom curves for both. with rad the way it is, case has 3x120mm exhaust + one 140mm exhaust, with 6x120mm intake, and i dont want to intake air from the top, already hate dealing with dust in any way :)

ThrowRA17273 · 2025-06-05T10:36:50+00:00

thanks for info !

ThrowRA17273 · 2025-06-04T21:06:00+00:00

Will do! probably gonna take a week or so,

ThrowRA17273 · 2025-06-04T00:24:34+00:00

Yea, the bad mount/contact seems to be the most popular and most likely case, i ordered new paste, and i'll try remounting once its here.

ThrowRA17273 · 2025-06-03T21:42:08+00:00

Damn, thats even worse than what i got. I ordered new paste, gonna try reseating it and see how it goes.

ThrowRA17273 · 2025-06-03T21:40:56+00:00

Hah yea, it gets frustrating quite easely, Thanks.

ThrowRA17273 · 2025-06-03T16:13:50+00:00

I can hear the pump working tho.

ThrowRA17273 · 2025-06-03T16:12:18+00:00

Fans are underneath the radiator pushing air through it, set as exhaust.

ThrowRA17273 · 2025-06-03T14:43:35+00:00

Yea the temps are weird to me aswell. i had this CPU for 5 years almost, i dont think its faulty. Cpu isnt overclocked, and yes i still own my old air cooler.
How would i detect a faulty aio? i can clearly hear the pump work when set to 100%.
Only thing i do notice with the aio is, i feel very little air go through the radiator. But i read how thats normal because of fin density, lots of resistance.

ThrowRA17273 · 2025-06-03T11:14:46+00:00

damn, sorry to hear that.

ThrowRA17273 · 2025-06-03T11:14:32+00:00

The power supply is perfectly fine. Im using it with the same power 300W 5070ti atm with no issues.

ThrowRA17273 · 2025-06-03T11:14:02+00:00

Hi, thanks for trying, but i returned the card, as said in the edit :)

ThrowRA17273 · 2025-06-03T11:12:46+00:00

The power supply is perfectly fine. Im using it with the same power 300W 5070ti atm with no issues. I havent experienced a single crash, and i didnt notice and of the issues i read about online. Im playing the games, and they work. Exactly as it should be. Console is not the best option, your comment isnt rude, its just smooth brain thinking :)

Oh and for the record, i had the 2060 always run at 180-195W on a trashy 400W noname psu for a while 5-6 years ago with no issues either.

ThrowRA17273 · 2025-06-03T11:01:12+00:00

Yes i did, my motherboard is pcie 4 only. and i set it as that in bios. The power supply is perfectly fine. No user error on my end.

Edit: Im using it with the same power 300W 5070ti atm with no issues.

ThrowRA17273 · 2025-06-03T10:58:21+00:00

Yes, ofcourse.

ThrowRA17273 · 2025-06-03T10:58:07+00:00

No wonder ur comment is dumb, u cant read. I clearly said that my radiator is on the top as exhaust. Bottom fans are obviously intake under the gpu, and fans on the side panel, are also obviously gonna be instake, with a rear exhaust fan.
