PC crashes randomly when playing games.
I've had this problem now for about a month. Somedays it wont happen at all, others it will happen 4-5 times.
When playing a game my pc will crash/freeze at random. I'm completely locked out. Mouse wont move, can't use keyboard. Computer is completely frozen and unresponsive, so i have to force reboot holding the power button.
I've been googling like crazy to get to the bottom of whats going on, changing various settings and what not. I've also been trying to get windows to create a crash dump file that might indicate or point me in the right direction of the cause, but for some reason it just doesn't. The event viewer is coming up as:
"Event ID: 41"
"Source: Kernel-Power"
"Details: Session "" failed to start with the following error: 0xC0000022!"
I suspect that might be coming from the force reboot, but i went out and bought a new PSU just incase there may have been an issue with surges that may be harming the rest of the hardware. However just today it happened again so now im pretty much at my wits end and could use some help/insight from more knowledgeable people.
If anyone could help it would be appreciated.
Thank you
