Windows 10 Random Restarts
Hello,
I'm having a "restart" problem since I installed Windows 10. My computer just restarts itself with no warning, instant black screen, and boots itself up again. What I've noticed is that it happens usually when I'm watching Youtube, but not every time, even while editing some files. It also happens while I'm in process of entering a video game (champion select - League of Legends).
So here's what I've tried so far:
-Clean install of Windows 10 (followed the instructions from 10forums)
-Ran Memtest86 (Only 1 Pass since, I didn't have time, but no errors had shown up)
-Tried to see if it's a blue screen, with the program BlueScreenView, and it's not.
PC Specs:
CPU Intel Core i7 4790 @ 3.60GHz
RAM 16.0GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 1199MHz (11-13-14-32)
Motherboard Gigabyte Technology Co. Ltd. Z97X-UD3H-CF
GPU 4GB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 (ASUStek Computer Inc)
Monitor BenQ XL2720Z (1920x1080@144Hz)
Storage
232GB Samsung SSD 840 EVO 250GB (SSD)
1863GB Seagate ST2000DM001-1E6164 (SATA)
While I had Windows 8.1, before upgrading to Windows 10, I had no such problem, it didn't happen. I highly doubt it's the drivers because as I said I have a clean install of Windows 10. So my best guess would be the PSU, or the Motherboard, but why does it do that now, why didn't it restart itself on Windows 8.1? Also I've checked the temps on all the system parts, they're all fine. If anyone could help me it would be great, looking forward to what you can suggest me, because I'm out of ideas, except buying a new PSU I guess.
