I truly need help from you guys, please give me your time. I'm tired from long hours and very little sleep on trying to find solutions.
I will give Assassin's Creed 4 coupon code for solution, please :/
Two days ago I finished my first ever PC build. For the last two days, I've been trying to troubleshoot on why my screen frequently freezes at random moments when I attempt to play a game, 3-5 minutes in a game, browsing the Web, opening multiple applications.
PC Build -
FX 6300
M5A97 R2.0
GTX 660
8Gb G Skills Ripjaws x
Corsair 500w 80 Bronze + Modular
1Tb Western Digital Blue
120gb Samsung 840 evo
Information will be long, but I would rather give every detail so I can get the best possible help, please forgive me.
On Wednesday night I finished my build, I attempted to install an Official Windows 7 Home Premium iso(no not cracked), it was to use the 30 day free trial so I can get Windows 8.1 next month. At first it wouldn't let me install onto my SSD, due to a partition error. But I went ahead and installed Windows 7 on my Western Digital with the intentions of using Samsung' data migration later. Everything went fine, I installed all available drivers with Driver Booster then double checked device manager for any other drivers. At this point I have not had any freezes.
I then proceeded to download Nvidia's latest 335.23 driver, when everything finished installing it showed me that Geforce Experience and Microsoft Framework 4 were unable to install. I then tried to install Geforce Experience on its own with no luck. Same with MS Framework 4.
Starting from then the freezes started. I uninstalled the Graphics Drivers, but the it still seem to freeze a bit even without the drivers.
I then downloaded installed the latest Bios update for my Mobo in hopes for a solution. Didn't help.
I fixed the Auto Detected Cas latency of (11) which was incorrect and changed it to what it suppose to be 8-8-8-24. Didn't do anything much.
I installed Display driver uninstalled, went into safe mode to get a full clean registry clean-up. Didn't help.
I then attempted to install the windows updates, it told it couldn't install like 5-6 updates, restarted my computer, updates didn't take into effect while it was configuring. So updates didn't install.
That was enough for that night.
Yesterday when I got home I tried a different driver, 332.21, didn't work. Still got freezes.
I then rebooted and inserted the Windows 7 CD from yesterday. Deleted and formated the hard drives. This time I was able to install Windows directly onto the SSD. All finished clean install of Windows 7. But while I was downloading some applications, it frozr. No Graphics Drivers were installed yet. Upset.
Instead of installing the driver, I tried to install Geforce Experience first, it worked. I was able to install unlike the day before. I downloaded the latest drivers once again. Everything downloaded fine. But I would still get freezes.
I've tried drivers 314.22, 331.93, 332.21, 335.23. None of then fixed the freezes.
I downloaded and ran a Pass of MemTest86, no errors.
I turned off some services that I found that worked for someone else with similar issues on forums, didn't help me.
I've checked my CPU, GPU, Mobo tempo, their not overheating and normal temps.
I downloaded Prime95, ran a test, didn't freeze.
I downloaded and ran Furmark, didn't freeze. One thing I noticed was when I ran the game Rust, I checked the clock speed through GPUZ, it was about 70 mhz over my Gigabyte GTX 660 speed @ 1167ish. I thought my GPU was overclocking itself. My clock speeds for my GPU are suppose to between 1033 I think and 1098. But in Furmark it ran 1058ish and didn't freeze.
So I came to the conclusion that I didn't think it was my CPU and GPU.
Oh I also uninstalled PhsyX due to a forum post, didn't help.
I went into my PC case, I checked if connections were in. I reseated the GPU.
I also ran the system with 1 Ram, it ran, I tried the other stick, still worked.
So I don't think it's my Ram either.
I downloaded SeaTools, and checked Samsung Magician. Both NY hard drives were in good condition and both worked.
So I'm pretty sure it can't be my drives.
I honestly think it's not my PSU either. I mean it powers my system fine, it just that my screen freezes and becomes unresponsive so I have to hard reboot.
I also don't think it's my Mobo, I mean all ports are working, CPU, GPU, Sata, Power, USB. When I was downloading the Bios update. I saw there was Motherboard drivers I think. But I haven't installed those.
I also installed the Windows Update. This time no errors 161 of 161, configured fine unlike the day before.
Also note, when I just don't do much, the PC doesn't freeze like that Windows Update, was like 2 hours long and no freezes. But once I try playing games, using the browser and open and use apps. It freezes.
My brain is fried please help me guys. I just really want my computer to work. I've been dreaming about building a PC all my life and this is not the way I would've like to go.
When I get home I'm going to try to download the motherboard drivers.
I'll also try to download driver 311.06, someone said it was stable on a forum, due it not having Geforce Experience and 3d and stuff.
I need help and Thank you for anyone who took their time to read and helped. I'm a rookie to this and never done anything like this.
Edit: Is there any possible way that Windows 7 is causing the freezes? Should I try using a different Os like SteamOs
