LOTS of freezing/lockups at STOCK!

CompGee · Jan 21, 2014

Hey, guys. When my PC is in Normal Mode; aka, Start Windows Normally, it locks up at stock voltage. Anybody have any ideas to solve this so that I am not in Safe Mode? The problem OS is Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.

Reformat, run MEM test, Reseat CPU and heatsink.

What are the complete system specs? What are your idle/load CPU temps? Have you manually set the RAM speed/timings/voltage to the manufacturer recommended settings in the BIOS? Have you run multiple passes of Memtest86+ to check for RAM errors?

The computer was built at Laptops for Less and they didn't provide a list of used parts. Also, does ANYBODY have ANY programs to monitor CPU temps in safe mode; aka;

I believe speedfan works in safe mode. I can't remember for sure, but it seems like it does.

Have you run Memtest86+ yet?

CompGee · Jan 22, 2014

Speedfan works in safe mode. Here is a list of current temps:
Temp1: -55C
Temp2: -2C
Temp3: 41C
HD0: 29C
HD1: 31C

And no, I have not ran Memtest yet. 2013MB RAM is good in the POST.

Are those temps at idle? The first two temps are obviously wrong. I would guess Temp3 may be the CPU temp. Use a program like Prime95 to put the CPU under load and see how high the temps go. I also highly suggest running Memtest86+ as soon as you can.

Okay. I WILL do MemTest86+ next week on Monday. I am also running XP in Normal Mode; aka, Start Windows Normally. XP is unaffected.

On Prime95, XP locks up FULLY.

shortstuff_mt · Jan 22, 2014

What did the load temps get up to before it froze?

CompGee · Jan 22, 2014

I was not monitoring temps. As long as I am NOT running Prime95, the system does NOT freeze.

shortstuff_mt · Jan 22, 2014

Then it's likely an issue with overheating, which is why I'm asking about the temps.

CompGee · Jan 22, 2014

The system got up to 57C before it froze. I had the program fully aimed at the CPU. The system also ran for about 1.2min. before locking up under Prime95. Any other ideas? I also think it is conflicting A/V programs.
