This application logs all sorts of events and problems with your computer, from crashes caused by hardware to software glitches like unsuccessful installations and updates to the operating system.<\/p>\n<p>You can find Windows Reliability Monitor under Control Panel &gt; System and Security &gt; Security and Maintenance &gt; Reliability Monitor. Find it quickly by clicking \u201cStart\u201d and searching for \u201cReliability\u201d and then clicking on the \u201cView Reliability History\u201d option that appears.<\/p>\n<p>Crashes are indicated by a red \u201cX\u201d and it\u2019s these you\u2019ll need to look for if you\u2019re trying to diagnose a hardware or software issue.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-864786\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/reliability_monitor.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Reliabilty Monitor in Windows showing red Xs indicating recent crashes.\" width=\"479\" height=\"266\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>You can also click on the \u201cView All Problem Reports\u201d button at the bottom of the window to see a list of issues that may point you in the right direction.<\/p>\n<p>The information you glean from Windows Reliability Monitor can aid you in diagnosing what caused the crash, and point you closer to a solution. For example, if Windows implies that your <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/702766\/what-is-a-gpu-graphics-processing-units-explained\/\">GPU was to blame, you know that the problem probably isn\u2019t related to the power supply or CPU.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"An_Overheating_CPU_May_Be_to_Blame\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_1\">An Overheating CPU May Be to Blame<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One of the most common causes of a sudden shutdown is heat. When a critical component like your CPU exceeds a safe operating temperature it goes into self-preservation mode. This often means random shutdowns, since cutting power prevents the CPU from getting any hotter and causing (more) damage.<\/p>\n<p>You can put this theory to the test by monitoring temperatures on your CPU. Since you\u2019re experiencing random shutdowns, you\u2019ll want to be able to log your findings to a file so that you can check what\u2019s happening when the power goes out. <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hwinfo.com\">HWiNFO64<\/a>\u00a0is free for commercial use and can be used to log this information to file.<\/p>\n<p>You should expect your CPU to operate around 45\u00baC to 60\u00baC (113\u00baF to 140\u00baF) on any given core. When things start to get close to 80\u00baC (176\u00baF) you may begin to encounter problems. Some CPUs can handle temperatures of up to 100\u00baC (212\u00baF) before overheating, but that doesn\u2019t mean hitting these sorts of temperatures is safe or ideal.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve deemed that your CPU is getting too hot, you can try a few things to cool it down. The easiest remedy is to make sure your case is free of dust and has good airflow. Even the best CPU coolers will struggle if your case is simply circulating hot air, with inadequate exhaust and intake. Don\u2019t forget that radiators attached to water coolers\u00a0need to vent heat too.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-864787\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/shutterstock_617988500.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Closeup of a dusty CPU cooling fan.\" width=\"650\" height=\"366\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/image-photo\/dust-on-computer-pc-processor-cooler-617988500\">MelnikovSergei\/Shutterstock.com<\/a><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It\u2019s possible that your existing CPU cooler isn\u2019t up to the task, but first try reinstalling it and applying better thermal paste in the correct quantity\u00a0to try and lower temperatures. Correctly applied quality thermal paste can help your cooler operate more efficiently, and is much cheaper than buying a whole new cooler.<\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t notice improved temperatures from cleaning your case or reinstalling your cooler, a better cooler might be the only path forward. If you\u2019re still rocking the free cooler that came with your CPU, now is the time to upgrade. Make sure you buy something that will fit in your case and look to spend anywhere from $50 to $150 on a quality cooler from brands like Noctua, Corsair, and Cooler Master.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Your_GPU_Could_Be_Getting_Too_Hot_or_Failing\"><\/span>Your GPU Could Be Getting Too Hot or Failing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The other component you should consider when facing random shutdowns is the GPU. Since the GPU is responsible for graphics-intensive operations, it can be put under a lot of pressure when playing games. Like your CPU, your GPU is also prone to generating a lot of heat. If it gets too hot, you may encounter a sudden loss of power.<\/p>\n<p>To <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/784198\/how-to-monitor-your-computers-gpu-temperature\/\">monitor GPU temperature, use a free tool like <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.techpowerup.com\/gpuz\/\">GPU-Z<\/a>. You can check the \u201cLog to file\u201d checkbox on the \u201cSensors\u201d tab to nominate a location in which to save the log. When you encounter a crash, find the file and take a look at the temperatures (and any other logged criteria) at the time of the crash. You can also do this with the aforementioned\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hwinfo.com\">HWiNFO64<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Normal GPU operating temperatures are similar to those you\u2019d expect from a CPU. You can expect anything from 65\u00baC to 85\u00baC (149\u00baF to 185\u00baF) under heavy loads, like when playing intensive games or rendering video. Different cards have different upper limits for temperatures, with some exceeding 90\u00baC (194\u00baF).<\/p>\n<p>Keeping your GPU as cool as possible will help protect it and the rest of your computer against damage, and it may solve problems like crashes to the desktop and random shutdowns. The first thing to check if you\u2019re encountering GPU heat issues is whether you have adequate airflow in your case. Cleaning out dust and debris will help a lot.<\/p>\n<p>You can always (carefully) run your PC with the case off to see if temperatures are significantly affected. A more permanent solution would be to buy more fans and install them in a manner that vents heat effectively. Optimize the case to prevent heat from your power supply from venting directly onto the GPU. Even changing your PC case can go a long way to improving airflow.<\/p>\n<p>GPUs, like CPUs, use thermal paste and coolers. You can try replacing thermal paste or stock coolers if you\u2019re up to the task. If lowering GPU operating temperatures doesn\u2019t help and you\u2019re still having issues, you may want to consider a fault on the GPU is to blame. Pinpointing this as your issue can be difficult. The easiest way is to swap out the GPU for another and run more tests or place the suspect GPU into another machine to see if you encounter the same problems.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"It_Could_Be_a_Power_Supply_Issue\"><\/span>It Could Be a Power Supply Issue<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Another common cause of sudden power loss is problems with the power supply. Your power supply doesn\u2019t necessarily need to be faulty either, it might just not be able to provide enough power to keep the system running. This is especially common during gaming, with new graphics cards <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/835370\/pc-power-consumption-is-getting-out-of-control\/\">drawing a huge amount of power.<\/p>\n<p>For a quick idea of whether it\u2019s your power supply to blame, use a calculator like\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.newegg.com\/tools\/power-supply-calculator\/\">NewEgg\u2019s Power Supply Calculator<\/a>\u00a0or <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/seasonic.com\/wattage-calculator\">Seasonic\u2019s Wattage Calculator<\/a>. Input your full PC specifications to get an idea of how much power draw you can expect. If your current PSU falls short of the recommendations, there\u2019s a chance that replacing your PSU may solve your issue.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-858741\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/psu_recommendations.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"NewEgg Power Supply Calculator recommendation\" width=\"650\" height=\"367\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Buying a PSU with more power than you currently need is a good idea. Your computer only takes the power it needs, and it\u2019s good to have some overhead when it comes to upgrading or adding more components. Remember, everything in your PC adds to the total power draw, including case fans, storage, RGB lighting, and network interfaces.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>How to Test Your Computer&#8217;s PSU With a Multimeter<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Driver_Problems_Could_Also_Be_to_Blame\"><\/span>Driver Problems Could Also Be to Blame<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>GPU driver issues are more likely to cause crashes to desktop or <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/740279\/what-are-visual-artifacts\/\">visual artifacts, but it\u2019s worth exploring every avenue if you\u2019re having problems.
