And this minidump https://1drv.ms/u/c/42503589cf5c2cab/EdOgwBkZHBVLrCcxus3Asb0BXx-QIEAGdGC75qPDr_zq4A?e=6gSQ8J which states as error ntoskrnl.exe and PSHED.dll, can someone please help me find the issue and possibly a solution? The temperature of my build are fine and there is no overclock nor underclock made.

Hi Dalet Ignia,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum. Thank you for sharing your issue with us.

I understand how frustrating it can be when your computer keeps randomly rebooting when you are idling in a game. Let us find a way to resolve this together.The WHEA-Logger event 18 points to a serious hardware error, typically from the CPU. Also, crashes and reboots that involve both ntoskrnl.exe and PSHED.dll usually points to driver conflicts or BIOS issues.

To help me narrow down the situation in order to better helping you. I'd like to confirm more information on the issue.

• May I know if the issue only affects 1 game or if other game face the same issue?
• Do you experience the same issue when actively playing the game or is it only happen when idling?
• Are there any changes made to your computer before the issue starts to happen?

I'm looking forward to your answers.
