Hello all,
i have recently built up a pc from the ground up and it occasionally acts up where it hangs for a moment when trying to do anything (ie open a web browser or look in some folders)
and when its really bad it freezes completely requiring a hard boot.
ive asked the techs at the company i purchased my parts from, and they think its the power supply, in the sense that the pins that connect to the mother board are broken.
What gets me though is that if the pc is acting up i can play a game that runs off the graphics card perfectly as if nothing is wrong but if i change windows or shut down the game completely it'll go right back to trouble.
if it acts up and i play a game that does not use the graphics card like binding of isaac or a facebook game, then it crawls and hangs quite abit.
The graphics card runs off of 2 extra cables from the power supply to power it up, also if it was component wouldnt the games be acting up as well?
ive done tests on all the components, 95 for the processor, memtest for the ram, speedtest for the hard drive with all passes. i have had a bad driver for something called VIA HD audio, which i promptly removed despite the fact i think my mobo has the chipsets (during idle the software will rev up to 15% on 3 cores on the i7)
of course there is no malware or virus's on it.
