Crash to re-boot.

Recommended Posts

Hopefully I am correct in this CTD forum as my PC does not crash to desktop but rather shows the Blue Screen for a fraction of a second and then goes straight into a reboot.

This is what happens: I start the PC which by the way is solely used for my P3D. As soon as P3D is fully loaded and ready to "fly", the PC without any warning re-boots and then enters into a different "login screen" showing a beach from inside a cave. From now on the PC behaves perfect without the slightest problem.

The Event Viewer does not indicate any error apart from telling me that the system has restarted after closed unexpecteldy. A number of programmes I then installed to tell me more about this "Blues Screen of Death" also did not tell me anything. Apparently this error is going so fast that the system does not have the time to store any information into any dumpfile.

At first I thought this has something to to with my P3D, as for example on a couple of occasions a GSX .ini was corrupted during the crash resultung in an error message when later re-starting P3D.

So I installed other programmes that would test and stress the PC. Also they made my PC crash like P3D did. With OCCT v 9.1.2 it takes about 10 seconds in the test modes of CPU and Linmark. When just testing RAM memory or VRAM nothing happens and all is fine Also stressing the system with CPU-Z for example results in a re-boot but it takes some seconds longer.

Since not having any dumpfiles available or any hints from the Event Viewer I am puzzled as to what happens in my desktop and I would appreciate help.

My specs are as follows:

Win 10 64  (up to date)

MSI MPG X570 motherboard

32 GB RAM Corsair CMK32GX4M2E3200C16

RX 6900 XT

2TB  Corsair MP600 Core

Also check Control Panel, Security and Maintenance, Maintenance, View Reliability History and see what it is reporting.  It shows day-by-day from L to R.  Click on any red circles with x's.

Thanks for the reply Frank. However I have problems finding that section as I am using the German version of W10 which seems to be a bit different.

Could you posssibly tell me the name of that .exe file involved? I am asking since the German version appears keeping the English names of exe and dll files.

Think I found it after looking at the English version of W10.

Yes, it shows a graph with the critical events that occured during the last days. Unfortunately in my case it only says "Windows was not closed properly" (my translation) and under details "Das System wurde zuvor am ‎27.‎09.‎2021 um 13:58:48 unerwartet heruntergefahren." meaning that the system was unexpectedly closed at soandso time.

This is what I had noticed earlier 😎 and does not help at all.😟

Even with the latest BIOS recently installed that strange fault remains. My bypass strategy is to start the PC, running OCCT stresstest for a few seconds until the system reboots unceremounously.

After that I load P3D and everything is ok for hours.

However, it is itching me, I want to know what is going on and forget about my unprofessional bypass!

Blue screen errors are generally hardware or driver related.  Given that the PC is rebooting itself, I'd initially suspect power supply issues (bad/weak PSU, overloading) or an unstable overclock.

Yes, in principal I do agree with you Bob. But in my case it is a 1200W powersupply and I monitored the voltages as well as currents. All seems to be ok. I also suspected that "cold" temperatures of certain components might be responsible. So I will carry the PC in winter when it is creally old to the outside and see what happens there.

It always happens after a new start of the PC and then applying full load, either by P3D or any programmes that do a stresstest on the system. As I said, after the (meanwhile expected) crash and consequent reboot everything is fine for hours as if nothing has happened.

If I would have the possibility I would replace one component after the other until I find the culprit. Perhaps I should start playing lotto 😅
