Hello! Long-time lurker, first-time poster here with a few questions about a PC I built back in February.
I'm having issues all around.
1. I've had multiple crashes: Black screen, the fans go crazy, and I have to hold down the power button to restart. The Event Viewer doesn't seem to record these. I've configured it to make logs, but I don't see the logs for the crashes.
2. Sometimes after said crashes, the machine either won't boot or it beeps 3-4 times before booting.
3. Firewire is really sketchy. Don't laugh. Tons of audio interfaces use FW. I experienced several crashes while using my FW interface, thus prompting a switch to a USB2 Focusrite Scarlet 2i2.
4. I have a terrible RF/EM interference through my amp when I play guitar with the PC on, ESPECIALLY when running my DAW or if I have Skyrim booted. Basically anything that puts a lot of load on the system. I turned the case 90° and it mostly went away. Would like a legit fix, though as this makes recording a nightmare. Supposedly a ground loop?
Usually, I shut down and unplug, check all the connections inside the machine and reboot. All will be kosher for a few weeks, then BAM crash.
I'm running Win7 HP, DAW is Tracktion 5. All drivers for GPU, etc are up do date. I've tried the FW legacy driver and things got worse.
