Really Bad Unexplained Crash

I just had the worst application crash I have ever had. I was playing a game and the computer completely froze up. No mouse, keyboard, nothing. The screen just froze. It did NOT BSOD. I was unable to recover and had to press the reset button. Viola! It would not boot again. The second time I tried to boot, BIOS opened up saying there was a boot error. I went through the BIOS and nothing had changed except that my boot up assignments were gone. No boot drive was listed. I looked into that and found the boot drive and re-established it. Then it booted.

I went into Reliability monitor, but that was inconclusive. But Event Viewer shows an event just before the crash:



And I am getting a whole schwak of Hypervisor errors. I don't use a virtual machine and hyper-V is not enabled in BIOS?

Am I looking at broken hardware? Or a configuration problem?

go to and see if there are any dump files there

Sorry. No files there.

I should mention that temps, voltages and clocks were normal at the time of the crash. My status display froze too with this helpful information.

I've seen power spikes do this sort of thing. Not saying that's what it is but the lack of dump files and the sudden freezing jogs my memory. (No pun intended.)
