My system is randomly rebooting, can any of you guys help me debug the dump file? Thanks in advance.
Hello Adam and thanks for the reply :)
It started about 3 weeks ago after i tried to update my bios, but i rolled back to the Bios i had, but it doesent seem to help much.
I tried to reinstall graphics drivers and network drivers.
The machine boot up without problems, but sometimes it can stay on for a day or 2 before it reboots, and sometimes it reboots several times a day.
Its just getting a bit frustrating , lol. Im thinking of maybe just do a fresh install of Windows 10 and see if it helps.
Best regards
Chris
Reinstalling is a way of troubleshooting though..if it’s still crashing, you know it’s probably a hardware issue then 😄

Hey again and thanks for a quick reply :)
Yeah i have most of my games etc on seperate discs , so it will be fast to reinstall windows.
I kinda feel like i should try that to rule out any software related issues.
I have ran memtest for 6 hours without any errors coming up, and i cant see any conflicts or missing drivers in the device manager, so im kinda baffled what it could be causing this problem.
My PSU is pretty new, its an Corsair HX1200 so i hope its not that one dying on me, as it replaced a busted AX1200i 1 1/2 years ago.
Anyways, i have tried to fix some registry settings , so ill wait and see until tomorrow if its restarted or not, and i`ll get back to you Adam :)
Thanks for the help so far tho, really appreciate it.

Hey Adam, after much troubleshooting and agony i finally found the culprit :)
It was a busted PCI-E soundcard that was faulty. I dont know how, but for some reason it **bleep**ed up the power delivery between my gpu`s which caused the random shutdowns. I removed it , and my system is running great again, no reboots or sluggishness in games.
Just wanted to post it here, so if anyone who runs into the same problems might try to remove their soundcard :)
Thanks for your replies and help man, much appreciated .
