First of all, specs:
Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 Socket AM3+ AMD 990FX+SB950 Chipset
CPU - AMD X8 FX-8320 (125W) Eight-Core Socket AM3+, 3.5GHz CPU, 8Mb Cache, 32nm
Videocard - Gigabyte (GV-N660OC-2GD) NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 2GB GDDR5
- 1098 MHz Clock, 6008 MHz Memory
RAM - Patriot Gamer 2 Series 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1600MHz
Power supply - Cooler Master GX 650W 80PLUS Certified Active PFC/PWM Power Supply
HDD - Seagate Barracuda (ST3000DM001) SATA3 6.0Gb/s 3TB 64MB Cache (OEM)
Cooling - H-70 liquid CPU cooler + 2 case fans
Okay, I've recently set up my own PC with the parts listed above, but I've encountered quite the problem. In the beginning, my PC would keep hibernating/shutting off after only 1-2 hours of use, sometimes less e.g. 30 minutes. Really it comes in random intervals, anywhere between first 3 hours (longest I've had it on). With CPU temps a little high, I assumed this was an overheating error so I purchased a liquid CPU cooler (H70) + 2 case fans which brought Cpu temps fairly low. Assuming the 'randomly hibernating' problem was solved, I was relieved. But not for long. After another 1 -2 hours of use, the Pc resumed its 'random hibernation phase'. (I changed Sleep settings in windows to: never yet it still does this). However this time, the shutting off is also followed by a small squeaking/screechy noise coming from the motherboard (I've witnessed this already a couple of times). It sounds like some kind of damage is occuring. I am completely lost as to what the problem may be, the PC is basically unusable... and it feels like a huge waste of money. Oh and By the way, the screeching/squeaky noice is not coming from the MOBO speaker. In fact, when I start up PC, mobo speaker emits long beep signifying that there is no problems... Lately though, my computer has been having slow start ups with black screen for long time. I don't know, but it sounds like a side-effect from the 'shutting off' error.
What the hell is wrong with my PC? 0.o
