  1. System freezing, crashing and restarting randomly - Processor error?


    Hi,


    Yesterday I started having random crashes and restarts on my PC.


    It's similar to a BSOD, Except I am getting a freeze of around 5-10 seconds with a crash sound playing throughout the freeze


    It doesn't matter if I am playing a game or browsing the web, It can happen anytime regardless of what I am doing.


    My system is the


    Ryzen 7 1700 with the stock cooler

    16gb ddr 4 ram - corsair vengeance 3200mhz

    Asrock x370

    Asus rog strix gtx 1080ti oc edition

    Seasonic prime platinum 850w


    I was running an OC on the processor of 3700 mhz and the memory on 2933mhz.


    After 2 crashes the motherboard went to default and now the processor and the memory are on stock settings.

    The processor is at 3200mhz and the memory is 2133 mhz.


    When I go to event viewer - windows logs - system I am getting a few errors:


    1. Critical - The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.


    2. Error - The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x00000124 0x0000000000000000, 0xffffbc8f8034f8c8, 0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000. A dump was saved in: C:\Windows\Minidump\031320-15546-01.dmp. Report Id: 09cf501c-3cd2-4e89-980c-59e91bec971c.

    Error Source: Machine Check Exception

    Error Type: Bus/Interconnect Error

    Processor APIC ID: 0

    5. A fatal hardware error has occurred.



    Reported by component: Processor Core

    Error Source: Machine Check Exception

    Error Type: Cache Hierarchy Error

    System freezes randomly

    My computer freezes randomly, it could be playing videos, games, or merely being idle. All input and output devices freeze (screen freeze and audio as well).

    I have reinstalled the system in the SSD but no luck.

    I have also tried the SFC scan and the DISE scan, check and restore fix. Just wonder how can I know what causing the error exactly. The event viewer did show some error but errors were about forced restart after the freeze instead of what happened at or
    before the freeze.

    Any suggestions are welcome. Thank you so much!

    System Crashed / Processor Failed

    Hi,

    I'm facing this issue for several months. I am unable to find the reason for this; as it happens in a random pattern: It occurs at no specific time/duration, no application or type of work is associated with this issue.

    When I'm using my laptop:

    • It suddenly freezes everything
    • No movement on the screen
    • No error appears
    • All applications, open files/work stops working
    • Keyboard/Mouse doesn't work
    And I have to restart the system again (using power button), to be able to work again.

    I have checked the Event Log and found that one by one all processors faced this problem and system fails as a result:

    Processor 0 in group 0 exposes the following power management capabilities:

    Idle state type: ACPI Idle (C) States (3 state(s))

    Performance state type: ACPI Performance (P) / Throttle (T) States

    Nominal Frequency (MHz): 2801

    Maximum performance percentage: 100

    Minimum performance percentage: 28

    Minimum throttle percentage: 3

    ----------------- Update -----------------

    I found another common error, which is crashing my system:

    This is the error of one processor and the same for the rest of the seven processors:

    The speed of processor 0 in group 0 is being limited by system firmware. The processor has been in this reduced performance state for 71 seconds since the last report.

    Any help would be much appreciated.
