Hi
This is not Trainz-related at all, but maybe someone has a suggestion. Occasionally my computer completely shuts down and restarts. No damage is done, except that what was immediately in memory is lost.
I wonder if anyone has an idea as to what might cause this. I'm thinking an intermittent fault in the power supply. Computer is Windows 10 Home, AMD AM3 Mobo/CPU and RX470 GPU. PSU is 750 watts.
Thanks,
Mick
One of the Microsoft patches was causing reboots on AMD systems as was one of the AMD graphics drivers, make sure your cumulative updates are 100% up to date and your graphics driver hasn't been "updated" by Microsoft.
If not that Run the Reliability Monitor and just check you haven't got a software issue. Type Reliability into search or Cortana if you haven't killed that off.
Event viewer? look for warnings not just errors, the one you posted you can get if you just pull the plug out of the wall socket or get a power cut so isn't really a foolproof indication that there is a problem, just that something or someone caused the PC to shutdown / reboot.
With an AMD board, ensure that you have the AMD AHCI drivers installed (Mobo Driver disk or website) and not the generic Microsoft ones.
Worth checking your wall socket and plugs, believe it or not over time the screws can work loose, just a slight bit of arcing can trigger a reboot of the PSU also try a different power lead as they can sometimes cause problems, replaced one here a few months ago that was causing an intermittant connection.
Unlikely to be a motherboard problem as that would occur far more frequently unless you are in the habit of moving the PC around and something isn't making a tight connection which you should check anyway.
One thing to check is fans, if one gets stuck that can trigger a PSU shutdown.
If non of that suggest you visit Ten Forums the BSOD section, where they will walk you through full diagnostics to find out what is causing it, be prepared to provide a lot of logs and screenshots! Usually the resident experts can find out whats causing problems with BSODS and reboots etc.
