Random shutdown on memtest86

[Not_Benjiman]

Hi all i got a random shutdown during a memtest 86 run.

Can a faulty cpu cause this -
Can a faulty motherboard cause this -
Can a faulty graphics card cause this -
Faulty ram i am aware can cause this however i tested the system with other ram and still had this issue.

Random shutdowns when playing games and when on desktop.

I assume this is the same issue that post already posted here?

Any of the above can cause a problem. Basically anything that uses electricity can have a short circuit and trip the power supply into shutting down. (and there are a dozen types of more subtle electrical faults).

Buggy Windows device drivers are also a big cause of bad behavior (system crashes and reboots). But in that case you shouldn't see the same behavior in MemTest86.

Hi fellow tek

It was indeed.

I found the culprit it was a faulty mobo as of current the unit is completely dead and wont power on.

Both posts can be closed/deleted.

Thanks for your assistance
