My PC keeps freezing up

Killmat · Feb 18, 2014

It has done this for a couple of months and I honestly don't know what to do. I need some help, can anyone tell me what can be causing this and what can help fix this?

Yet I have tried a Memtest86 which came up empty.

It happens randomly after 1-3 hours of time on the computer and then suddenly it freezes.

DxDiag showed this

I know it's in danish, but has all the part names and such.

What are your full specs including the brand and exact model of your power supply?

Killmat · Feb 18, 2014

How do I actually find out? Is there a smart trick or do I have to look deeper into the box or something?

AnEwG · Feb 18, 2014

I have got most of your specs from the dxdiag you linked to. If you can remove the side panel of your case and try to identify the make and model of your power supply.

Can't get anything out of doing that. Except it's a 600AF

AnEwG · Feb 18, 2014

That is a 600 w Raidmax psu. I can't tell the exact model of your graphics card. It could be either a HD 7950 or 7970. My initial guess was that you have an under-powered system but your psu should be enough to provide either of these two cards with enough wattage and amperage for stable operation. Your graphics card should have 2 power connectors connected to them, make sure of that. Also try to update your GFX card drivers.
Another possibility is that your GFX card GPU is overheating. Download a software like HWmonitor and check your gfx card temperature.

Thank you, I will look into this, and tell you if the problem persists, but my system has worked for a year, but not the system has started goofing up like this.

Killmat · Feb 18, 2014

Currently it's at 36 degrees celsius. Is that fine? Should I send you a screenshot of HWMonitor?

AnEwG · Feb 18, 2014

Yes, that is a very good temperatures for this GPU at idle.
Post the screenshot please.

Killmat · Feb 18, 2014

Here are the screenshots.

Still having the problem even after your tips :/

Temperatures look normal to me.
How long did you have this PC for?

Killmat · Feb 18, 2014

Since May 2012

Do you have integrated graphics on your motherboard?
I checked your motherboard and it doesn't have integrated graphics.
I have noticed something. Your CPU core minimum voltage is kind of low same with your GPU voltage. I am not sure if it is normal for them to be at these values. There is a possibility that you power supply is failing. There is a known problem with FX bulldozer processors like yours as well when they run under windows 7 and you need to install a hot fix update for it. I think this is kind of a remote possibility, since until recently your didn't have problems with your PC, but you won't lose anything by installing the update:

What exactly do you measn by that?

AnEwG · Feb 18, 2014

By what exactly?

AnEwG · Feb 18, 2014

Your problem could also be an overheating VRM. VRM or voltage regulating modules regulate the voltage to your cpu socket. Your motherboard doesn't have a VRM heat sink.

Killmat · Feb 18, 2014

How do I solve that then? Also I'm on Windows 8

AnEwG · Feb 18, 2014

Well, I need to know the make and model of your case. A case fan can help keep the VRM tempreture down.

Killmat · Feb 18, 2014

It's a custom one from MM-Vision.dk

All fans are practically running.
