Windows 10 random reboot issue
For the past 3+ months, my machine has been randomly rebooting. There's no BSOD, it just switches to a black screen and then shows the Windows 10 loading icon. It will happen at different times of day but, has never happened more than once in a day. It doesn't seem to be related to the load as I can be doing anything from editing a TXT file or running a game.
Windows / system drivers / BIOS are all up to date. Ran a memory test a few times and had no issues. Bought/installed a new power supply (Seasonic FOCUS Gold - 750w). I'm not seeing anything relevant in the Event Viewer. Power scheme is at 'High Performance'.
Specs:
Windows 10 Home 64-bit
CPU - AMD A10-6700
Motherboard - MSI 2AE0
Graphics - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780
RAM - 10.0GB Dual-Channel DDR3
-- Patriot Memory DDR3 1024 MBytes (x2)
-- Micron Technology DDR3 4096 MBytes (x2)
I've has this RAM setup for the last 3+ years. The issue didn't turn up until a few months ago. That said, I've been playing with some different RAM configurations and I'm still having issues. With only the 2 Patriot sticks installed, my computer would turn on but, my monitor wouldn't get any signal. Double checked the monitor connection, graphics card and even held down the power button for 30 seconds.
So I took out one of the Patriot sticks and added a Micron stick. This was okay about a day, before it rebooted unexpectedly, again.
Then, I took the other Patriot stick out and put both Micron sticks in there. I thought it was resolved at this point because I went through about 3 days of heavy use with no reboots. Until this morning. Shortly after I turned my machine on and signed in, I opened a few tabs in Chrome and boom, reboot.
I'm at a loss. I've run a few memory tests and no problems were found.
Both SpeedFan & Open Hardware Monitor show the CPU at about 104F.
