Hello everyone, i need your professional help.
It all started around 4-5 months ago, when i was playing LOL and was with friends on skype i would sometimes get windows 7 to lock up with looping sound from headphones. It was quite rare so i didnt pay much attention, but recently it started to repeat much more until last weekend.
To isolate the cause i cleanly installed windows 64 bits (was 64 before) and it froze/restarted at random times with no BSOD (i could restart 4 times an hour, it could stay online for 3 hours, but it got worse).
So yesterday i got a new PSU corsair CX600 (600W, old psu was 500W) and it got better, its about 2-3 hours between each lock up (no restart). I did some more tests to find the cause:
1. Ran memtest86 for 9 hours (7 passes and weirdly it didnt restart through out that time)
2. Ran chdisk for C, D got to 80% and i got freeze (one HDD only, no SSD)
3. Reinstalled windows with old psu (maybe thats the problem)
4. Updated all the drivers i could with device manager.
My System:
CPU: Intel core 2 quad q9400 https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P5Q3_DeluxeWiFiAP_n/
MB: Asus P5Q3 deluxe
Cooler: Hyper 212 evo (PC was overclocked a bit half a year ago)
PSU: Corsair CX600
So what are your thoughts, what should i do?
