Hey guys so my first pc problem has arrived, my pc is just under a year old sigh. The other day i bought insurgency because of the steam summer sale and left it on to download and there was no load-shedding forecast. I came home to discover the power tripped and my pc in the dark.
So by then the download had finished but mid game the pc restarts.
I did an update of windows defender, antivirus etc and did a virus scan, tried unplugging the other pc in the office which was on the same plug.
I also monitored my pc temperatures, all pretty normal.
I gamed for a few hours on cs go initially and then took a gamble with Dota and it was fine.
Today however havent even played a game yet and the browser froze and even when I pressed cntrl alt delete nothing. Then the screen went blue with a message saying windows has encountered a problem or something then it restarted and said select boot drive which I couldnt do so I turned the pc off and on again. Now I am typing to you folks. This error has happened once or twice in the past 3 months or so but I thought it would be chilled after I saw it work again.
Guys any help would be greatly appreciated, I dont even know how I must go about taking my pc to have it looked at when I built this rig myself from takealot and wootware. I can imagine a shop technician just telling me "na thats definitely broken" if it isn't.
what Im guessing could be wrong is psu or ram, or maybe a hdd? I have my OS on solid state and my games and other crap on a mechanical.
