So my roommate's PC/OS has been locking up watching YouTube and twitch mostly on a browser. Where it completely needs to be manually restarted Started shortly after the 6th. At first it was on google chrome so i had him switch to Microsoft edge and getting same result and today it did a BSOD Driver State Power Failure. It produced a log but not sure how to access it to post the relative info here.


These are the steps we've taken so far:


Made sure Windows 10 is up to date

Used Compressed Air to clean the inside of the PC of any dust.

Checked to make sure all wires were securely tight for all the hardware

Stress Tested the CPU chip with Prime95 temps were normal

Stress Tested the GPU with Furmark temps were normal

Did a clean uninstall of GPU drivers using DDU and then did a clean install of latest Nvidia Drivers

Did a Windows Integrity Scan. Did find some corrupt files and fixed them. Still didn't resolve issues.

Went on MSI's motherboard driver page. Updated all drivers and made sure had latest BIOS minus the beta it just released for AMD 5000 series chips,

Ran Windows Defender Scan and Malwarebytes scan. Both came up clean


HIs PC Specs are:


AMD Ryzen 5 2600X 4.2 Ghz

GTX 1070 SC Black Edition

MSI X470 Gaming Plus Motherboard
