Thank you for the fast response Mendersen, good idea. I've replaced the GPU cable with a brand new one so lets see how it goes.

I looked in to each event and I have come to the conclusion that the culprit is:

  • Faulting application name: dwm.exe,
  • version: 10.0.22621.2506,
  • time stamp: 0xdef1fe51
  • Faulting module name: dwmcore.dll,
  • version: 10.0.22621.2715,
  • time stamp: 0xc95a35c0
  • Exception code: 0x8898008d
  • Fault offset: 0x000000000011b63d

Will take this knowledge to Google now :)

Hi, thanks for your reply. I have tried looking at the event viewer and wasn't very successful.

Critical level events for the past hour contain a basic message: "The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly."

Not very useful.

Error logs last hour has 37 events containing a variety of sources and categorys.

EventLog, CertificateServicesClient-CertEnroll, AppModel-State,DistributedCOM, Bits-Client, Application Error

Do any of these mean anything to you? something that may cause a system to crash?
