Thank you for replying :)
Here are my full specs in case it matters:
OS: Windows 10 64bit
Motherboard: Asus Z170 Pro Gaming
CPU: Intel Core i5 6600 Skylake
Graphics card: EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6GB Superclocked
RAM: GEIL 16GB (4x4GB) DDR4
PSU: be quiet! Pure Power 630W
CPU cooling: be quiet! Pure Rock (tower cooler)
HDD: Seagate 3.5" 2TB SATA III
No overclocking done.
Now, to my surprise, my graphics drivers actually were out of date. Updated them at about 10 PM. Since then my PC froze the same way again.
Twice.Thrice actually, it just happened again as I was about to edit.
And I wasn't playing. At first it happened as the drivers were updating (Nvidia's release notes don't mention either of these games. Also, add Euro Truck Sim 2 to them. It definitely happened with this one too.), and the sceond time I was just browsing in Chrome.
My event viewer shows Kernel-Power errrors under the Critical category.
I don't think there's something wrong with my Power Unit, if there was the PC would simply shut down completely or, quite literally, go out in flames, wouldn't it? Again, it's a 630W.
Error category shows EventLogs saying that the previous shutdown was unexpected and a few (usually 2 or three at a time) DeviceSetupManager errors with code 0x80070490 just before the freeze happens.
Warnings:
- 9 (nine) of these the second it froze:
- Also:
- Network list manager can't establish a connection with Internet
- Can't connect to Windows Update service
- Network list manager can't establish a connection with Internet
- Can't connect to Windows Update service
- Network list manager can't establish a connection with Internet
- Can't establish a connection with metadata service and Internet Windows services (WMIS)
Is it possible that I made a mistake when connecting something to the motherboard?
