  1. Freezing PC


    Hello! I have an issue where my pc randomly freezes, it has been happening more often lately where my pc freezes, keeps playing audio from a YT video for example for few seconds but then completely freezes. I have tried the usual, update all drivers inc bios, reinstall windows and updated it but nothing seems to help. Happens maybe 2-4 times a week without any stress on the pc. I suspected the RAM issue but 16 gig ddr4 ^2000Mhz ish I think with XMP activated I think unless it goes to default after windows reinstall I tried checking RAM health but nothing came up. Other specs are I9-9900K and

    :)

    Hello,

    To isolate your Windows 10 freezing issue, kindly answer the following questions:

    • Aside from this error, are you also getting other error codes or messages?
    • Where do you usually experience this freezing issue? Is it during startup?
    • Other troubleshooting steps you've tried so far?

    Looking forward to your response.
     
  3. PC Build Steps

    Ok just because I like steps i am going to create some steps. Please give me the stamp of approval/disapproval
    • Install system in case
      • Remember to connect SSD and optical to same SATA ports on motherboard
    • Turn on PC
    • setup HDD
    • run blend test in prime95 for 30-60 min
      • run realtemp at the same time
    • While in Prime95 test
      • if CPU goes above 70c in RealTemp, I have a leaky CPU
      • if my system locks up or blue screens, there is an instability in the system somewhere
      • if my system does not lock up or blue screen, my CPU is not damaged and I am in the clear!
    What do you guys think??

    GPU-Z 0.7.8 / 0.7.9 / 0.8.0 Bios reading not possible GTX670-solved with gpu-z 0.8.1

    @Maban - does GPU-Z fail the same way for you the way it does for me? I.e. total system freeze/lockup, requiring a hard reset?

    @W1zzard - I will try the suggested steps later today, as I am not near that PC at the moment.
