Help me diagnose my desktop crashes.
I have been having intermittent computer crashes for a little while now. No errors, no blue screen, nothing in the logs, etc. The computer just goes dark and then cycles back on. This has persisted across fresh installs of two different OSs (Windows 7 and Ubuntu), so I'm assuming it's a hardware issue.
Time between crashes varies from a few minutes to a few days, and seem to happen when I'm actively using the computer. I don't think it's happened while the computer has been idling. I can make it much more likely (although not guaranteed) by stressing the CPU to 100% for 60 seconds.
Running memtest for 18+ hours yielded no errors.
System Testing - passes all relevant tests.
I'm leaning towards replacing the power supply.
