Hi, I am trying to use the event viewer to see why my computer randomly freezes every now and then. After swapping every single component out at least once, I cannot stop this problem and can't find a way to pinpoint it. How do I get the events to show? Thanks in advance for any help.

Edit: Sorry, my original wording seemed to be misleading. I know the event viewer isn't causing the freezing, I just wanted to let 'yall know why I needed the system errors :)

Your CPU is running too hot - 45C with fan at 4500rpm. You Vcore is OK 1.09-1.15V so -

Blow out your case - especially fans, filters and coolers.

If that doesn't get your cpu temp down, then re-seat the cpu cooler - remove, clean the old paste off the cpu and cooler base with isopropyl alchol, put a peas size drop of new Arctic Silver 5 paste on it and put the cooler back and plug the fan back in.

If that doesn't work, get a new custom cooler. If you want to overclock - a Noctua that'll fit in your case or a H100. If not overclocking, try a Coolermaster Hyper 212 evo if it'll fit in your case.


An overheating CPU can cause freezes.

It's not the cause....it's part of the solution..... event viewer records events when things aren't going just right and is used much like a BSOD Error Code to find out why something is happening. If you can't see what happened in the log, it removes one of the primary diagnostic tools.

To give ya an analogy ..... it's like looking at the security camera footage in a convenience store after a robbery ..... but in this case, they can't see who robbed it cause for whatever reason, the tape is blank.

Oh my goodness, this could actually be the problem. I have a water cooler already, is there a way to clean that out too? I will definitely try dusting my case.

45C is by no means on an issue of concern, and in now way could be considered "overheating". Especially in summer when even in moderate climates air temps can break 35C ...... Haswell does not start to throttle until it approaches 100C

Looking at your temps, your cores are averaging 36-40C ..... My desktop (16 fans and 5 x 140mm worth of rads in push / pull) typically averages 6-7C above air temperature at idle. It's only 27C here so I am at 33-34 C average. ....just a few degrees below your 36-40 average.

While checking the temps, I downloaded, unzipped and installed the latest Afterburner.... CPU temps maxed at 54C. Your max of 45C is no issue whatsoever.

I just built a Haswell system a couple weeks ago: i7 4770 with an Asus Z87-WS motherboard (stock profiles) in a Fractal Design Define XL R2 case (using the included case fans in their stock configuration), running CentOS 6.4.

With the stock cooler, 76 ºF inside, I am seeing about 40-41 ºC idle.
Click to expand...

That's hotter than your average of 36-40F.

I routinely reach CPU temps of 75C while stress testing with no freezes or other issues and Haswell does just fine well into the 80's and even 90s. Other boxes on here here hit close to 80C again with no freezes or concerns.

However the 4500 rpm thing is puzzling .... I haven't used a stock cooler in over a decade so can't remember what kind of numbers they hit. What cooler are you using ? Are you running any other monitoring utilities which might cause a read error ?

Yeah I'm not sure what that 4500 means, I use a water cooler (Corsair) for my CPU.
