    FWIW PCS had me update the BIOS this morning. No change :/

    Additionally I have just installed Arma 3. Couple of minutes of game play before crashing. Logs attached, this time there was a LiveKernalReport file.

    Hello -- attached zip here (it's less than 1mb). The LiveKernalReports folder was empty. Crash event was around 11:38/39 am today. Interestingly when I fired-up the machine today, I was able to play Elite Dangerous for what felt like an hour before it crashed. This is the first time I've been...

    Thing is I must of reinstalled Steam a dozen times over past few weeks; on clean OS installs with no other software on, both on Windows and Linux. Plus I've reinstalled Star Citizen half-a-dozen times and that isn't on Steam (has own installer/launcher). I never change any settings in Steam...

    Just purchased a new game to try on Steam: Elite Dangerous. I press the green play button and Steam shows me the loading vulcan shaders dialogue. Just as it gets to the end of the loader, the system shuts down and restarts. There's something fundamentally wrong with this machine and I'm getting...

    Apologies, I accidentally flagged emails from this forum as spam! "Have you modified clocks at all or made any amendments in the BIOS? Or overclocked RAM?" No sir. Benchmark attached.

    Ok I've ran Aida64. Screenies attached. Ran for 10 minutes. If there is nothing untoward there then we have confirmed that CPU (Prime95 + Aida64) and GPU (Furmark) are functioning perfectly, right? So just to recap: I have one SSD with Windows 10 Home. And another SSD with Linux Manjaro (I...

    GPU: Well that's good news...I guess! (if we find the actual fault) Chipset: before yes. In fact this afternoon I clean reinstalled Windows once again to triple check. I downloaded drivers and put on a USB, disconnected internet and clean reinstalled everything. Reconnected internet and then...
