Help Request Subject: Pc crashes

Specific people needed to read this: People who understand why/how this problem occurs and how i could fix it

Summarize help request in one sentence: The PC crashes with a bsod (even though i never saw it pop up)

Additional Info: Here are all the dump files 3 files and labeled first second and last first being first crash

Specs: Don't make fun of it If you need another thing just tell me and ill get back as soon as I can.

For some reason it started up completely this time. Its happen on two brand new Pc's i got this month (both from the same company). I was changing my settings using TCPoptimizer (I just pressed the optimal button. Didn't touch ant settings myself) to see if i could lower my ping in some games. I had to reset my PC for the changes to occur so I did. I have reset my PC a few restore points back and still got the problem. It crashed either when it says "Welcome" or when it shows my desktop and programs are starting up.

Importance level(low,medium,high): As of right now Low since I just game but in a week I start school

Steam related?: Nope

Kwaurtz:
Their power supplies are notorious for dieing, I've been a victim of it before. When everything in your pc doesnt get enough power, it'll crash.

nucleartaco:
I heard that too ,but I have only had it for maybe less than a week. Same with the other PC. Could it have died that quickly. I game almost all day and only turn it off when i go to bed

BladeTwinSwords:
If you have only had it for a week then there is probably something faulty in the computer.

true dat, Ibuypower is the same thing. I had countless numbers of these PCs take a shit on the PSU. cuz all power supplies are not created equal. Some of them even bypass safety measures that are supposed to be there to protect you and your components.  Like instead of an inline fuse it is just a piece of wire bridging a connection.  trollface

I would also disable automatic retsart on system failure so that you can catch the actualy BSOD STOP ERROR CODE:

HOW DO?

Two ways I know of
First is to Hit F8 before the PC hits the windows logo Boot screen)
Brings you to the advanced boot options menu.
In here Disable Automatic Restart on system failure

Second way:
Click Start
    Right click Computer
                 properties
The System pane will open with the System information stuff like processor and RAM
On the left side click  Advanced System Settings
System Properties window will open up in the Advanced Tab
Under Startup and Recovery clock on Settings...
Startup and Recovery pane will open
Under System Failure in the middle uncheck the box that says Automatically Restart and click OK.
So when this option is enabled when the computer fails to start and has a Blue Screen it will actually sit at the screen until it dumps memory or until you restart it.

Instead of you being in a boot loop (That is what we call it when the PC just keeps trying to start and goes back to the bios screen and boots again and again)

Then grab that Stop Error Number it will be like Stop 0c000007B or something like that

The last few digits are the most important

Sometimes the damn thing will even tell you what caused the crash.
