why do my pc crash at specific times?

[andreasaspenberg575]

last year it crashed some time between 21 and 21.30. then it have crashed in the same time frame twice this week. why?

[A&A]

Check the event viewer

[HypersleepyNaputunia]

I be windows is doing something scheduled at that time and not telling u

[andreasaspenberg575]

not very likely, as it does not happen every day. it also did not happen for more than 21 days.

best to resinstall windows it only takes 15 minutes, then redownload all the drivers for your motherboard, cpu and display adapter

Coincidence.

[andreasaspenberg575]

reinstalling windows takes hours. last windows i reinstalled was vista. it is not so simple however. my drivers is no longer available anywhere. the developer pulled out of the business and the backup website no longer have functional downloads. my issues started after i reinstalled my gpu drivers however.

No need to reinstall. Do a check with this...

CMD (RUN AS ADMIN)
SFC /SCANNOW

if it needs a repair, use DISM to do that and verify all the OS files.

Without you doing basic troubleshooting to provide information it could be many things.

Temperature over time.
Ram stick defect.
Old/bad capacitor.
Software fault/error/incompatible software conflict.
Scheduled task erroring / conflicting with an app.
Psu, cpu, mobo or gpu too hot.


Seriously. Check event viewer, run the sfc scannow option given above etc. More information.

Else like previous suggestions, get an actual tech to solve computer issues as you're posting loads of threads needing help which seems very unusual.

One thing I've been doing for many years. I think since Win7 first came out, was setup MSI AFTERBURNER and in its settings where you have sensors for CPU / GPU Temp (*F/*C) select option for Tray Icon. Keep the Temps in *C so it's always only a 2 digit temp reading and set the icon color. Such as Red for AMD, Blue for Intel, Green for NVIDIA. Anyways this can help to always be able to quickly and easily see CPU and GPU temp at a glance

SFC was removed a long time ago and is not on the list of commands(not even in windows 7). there is no ram issues. it does not crash on ram use. dism does not work on an unsupported operating system. i am good with computers but, i might be better with hardware than software. i have no way to monitor gpu temprature and even msi afterburner failed to pick up anything so, i uninstalled it. i do play blizzard games and they do not want people to use it. even viewer is microsoft`s eyes only and the system is no longer spported.

SFC was never removed; WTF are you on about?

SFC is the quick checker. If you actually have a problem, use of DISM will almost be a must.

Win10 22H2 is supported; it's not like we are talking about Win7/8 here. Even when a WinOS expires or becomes EoL, DISM still works as you can verify the OS files from an off-line ISO if available rather then the Online option.

[andreasaspenberg575]

we are talking about windows 8.1.

[Bad 💀 Motha]

Ok I'm done here. Move off that OS. No reason to ever still be on Win7/8, period.

[A&A]

Open powershell and paste this:

Get-WinEvent -LogName System -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Where-Object { $_.Level -eq 1 -or $_.Level -eq2 } | Select-Object -First 20

Then copy paste the system logs here.

Should have mentioned then. My guy you clearly don't understand software and you've been told many times about this. You also don't ever reply back to anyone suggesting fixes. How are we supposed to help you?

Also, the folks at Microsoft Forums are still starting their replies with "Hi! I'm a <insert company position here> at Microsoft! /sfc scannow" to this day. That is just concrete evidence.
