idle crashes

About this tag
The tag 'idle crashes' on WindowsForum.com covers system crashes that occur when a computer is idle or performing light tasks. Common themes include BSODs and unexpected shutdowns, often linked to GPU issues with AMD Radeon R9 series cards, power supply problems, or motherboard anti-surge triggers. Users report crashes during idle periods or while watching movies, with some experiencing boot failures requiring a PSU reset. Troubleshooting steps include replacing PSUs, adjusting BIOS settings, and testing hardware. The content focuses on Windows 7 and 10 systems, with an emphasis on hardware-related causes rather than software or updates.
