Win 10 64 bit System Restarts Randomly

by tomsal74 . Updated 7 years, 12 months ago

Hello. This problem has me scratching my head. It only started a few days ago (first time it happens was 5/23). I’ve tested my memory, I’ve monitored CPU and GPU temps (they are within accepted norms…CPU hits around 48-50 C and GPU around 62-65 C when restart happens) ,…. This is on a personal system this time not a work system. The computer just restarts — there is no warning it just restarts. I’ve done “experiments” throughout the day and I’ve found its fine if you do anything except try to play a game. Not tied to any specific title — just any game. After only 10 minutes the reboot happens. Conversely though you could watch YouTube, Netflix or web browse for hours and nothing happens. Looking at event logs has proved unhelpful. It tells you that power shutdown un-expectantly…there is an event IDi 10016 that keeps re-curing that I’ve dealt with in the past (it never caused a reboot though) but even so time wise the 10016 event is an hour before the kernel-power event (when it restarts). Could it be possible its a PSU issue where the supply is working ineffectively so it can power the system with little load but not handle when its under load (as when the GPU is being taxed in a game)?
