1. The BIOS is current. Due to many factors, let's make it current.
2. Did they turn off Windows Driver updates? This can mess up a good setup.
How is on the web.
3. While you're at it, disable update sharing. Read:

4. WHEN DOES IT CRASH? Do not answer random. I always find it's during gaming or a certain game. If more than one game, let's pick on one to start.
5: Any HDDs? I am going out on a limb here. Seagates?
Hello,
My brothers pc is new build (except the case and a secondary drive) which has been running perfect for 3 months but now has started crashing. But for the life of me I can't figure why.
What's inside:
Geforce gtx 1080ti
Z370 Autos Ultra Gaming
2 x 8gb hyperx ddr4 ram
RM 850x
Intel i7-7700k 4.2 GHz
He has a SSD with Windows on but unsure of exact make but it's a Samsung one.
He can game all day with no problems then suddenly it'll crash (computer freezes and have to hold power button to turn off, sometimes leaving a weird noise in the headphones) and sometimes will not turn back on or just continously crash until left overnight then it'll run fine again for a while. I instantly thought heat problems but all checks I did came back with normal temperatures and tried running with side panel off with no difference.
I can't understand what would cause it to be so random with its crashes. It literally ran fine for 2 days and just now started to crash instantly.
Anyway what can I check to sort this problem? Or begin to problem solve it?
Any help much appreciated.
Damien
