It's also running W7 so that may be a clue that it's just another old PC. The usual fix is a new motherboard but I try to avoid that with the following steps.
No, I will not open a debate about Windows 7.
1. Pull the old HDD out, slip in a blank SSD.
2. While the machine is open, clean the heatsinks, do a fan check and reseat all sticks, cards and cables.
3. Update the BIOS. Reset the BIOS to default and change only what is needed for step 4.
4. Install W10. no activation needed as this is a test run.
5. Install drivers and apps specific to this build.
Now test.
I can play games like Destiny 2 for hours and never have a problem. If I play The Old Republic it'll still crash, but last a good half hour before doing so. If I'm just browsing, or even just leave it at the desktop it'll crash in minutes. I can't even leave a game running in the background just to browse, or look at the steam store. I've tried all I can think of at this point. I've done a fresh install of windows on a new HDD, fresh installation of all games and drivers, swapped out the GPU, swapped out the RAM, disassembled, cleaned, and reassembled the whole system, swapped out mouse and keyboard as I use the Logitech g600 mouse, and g510 keyboard and they store profile information on the devices themselves and maybe corrupt? But no, still crashing. I've got a friend that suggested software called WhoCrashed, but the only crashes it detects are the ones it can generate to test the software with. Turned off autolaunch on everything, and even with no software running, still crashes. I'm out of ideas, without just buying even more new parts and swapping them out, but with no unusual reports in my system log, and no crash reports I don't even know where to try next. Help?
