PC crashes
My pc has been been doing this thing for years where it crashed on after startup every now and again. It just completely crashes, screen goes black and then restarts itself. Event viewer showed kernel power and whea errors which showed nothing conclusive and it could be any one of my parts.
More recently the crashes started occurring more often, on startup 3-4 times in a row before it finally worked. Then it would crash whenever my pc went to sleep so my only solution was to set my sleep timer to never and sometimes would crash during light activity like using word.
Well now, past 2 days I’ve had a different kind of crash and in games when opening menus it freezes for a second or two, usually ones that have stuff to load like player models. The new crash, when alt tabbing back into a game from another tab it froze, audio still worked. Then eventually my second monitor went black and then my main monitor had this weird pattern which I think looks like vram corruption?
I checked event viewer immediately after but there wasn’t really anything there. I’m at a loss for what to test or do next. I’ve completely uninstalled drivers (ddu) multiple times, did a complete reinstall of windows, messed with gpu clocking and settings and nothing has worked.
If anyone has any suggestions I’d be very grateful
