Hi guys!
I’ve got a system built with a i5-4460 for some years now, I’ve formatted windows 10 and for 5 days now it reboots out of nowhere, on Event viewer it gives me this error
Boot from an ubuntu ISO, do some stuff, work it a bit, see if it reboots.
If it does then you can be fairly sure it’s hardware so start by resetting bios to defaults then if that doesn’t work pull your cooler, and replace thermal paste.
If it doesn’t then it’s your Windows install, probably time for another re-install.
Have you pulled the CPU and RAM, checked for clean contacts and bent pins on the CPU socket? I had a room full of Intel branded workstations that would bend the pins from vibration all the time. In all my years this was the first time I ever saw this type of failure. Thankfully we replaced those, I sent them to the scrap guy, we didn’t even auction them off they were so unreliable. Lots of RAM contact issues with them as well giving similar crashes and lockups.
Anyway, that’s my suggestion of things to check, because I’m guessing you have a real hardware issue.
Also to check is all the electrolytic capacitors on the board, anything with a top that looks like a dome could be an issue. They should all be relatively flat on top with a pattern pressed into the aluminum to break if the pressure gets to high. Normally these can be very difficult to fix as they are generally larger through hole devices, and the holes are way too small to pull the solder out to replace them (even with the right tools).
