Hey guys, just been having a major issue with my PC for give or take about a year. I've been troubleshooting it this long time and still haven't come up with a solution, more of just things that seemed to make it less frequent.
Basically my PC freezes, whatever sound was playing loops the last milisecond or so and the only way I can restart is through a hard power switch.
I've tried everything, from making sure it was plugged into a wall socket instead of a power strip, cleaned out registries, updated all the drivers, defragged the hard drive, I even disabled my front case USB ports because I thought it was something to do with that (sometimes when I'd reactivate my USB mic, the second I did the freeze would occur.)
Here is a video where the crash happened.
And my hardware set up is this:
Intel 3570k
Asus Nvidia GTX 760
Corsair Vengeance 8GB RAM (2x4GB)
1TB Seagate HDD 7200RPM
Windows 7
500W PSU.
I've always wondered if it's the PSU as I've been meaning for a while to get a new one to supplement the power my components obviously need, but couldn't be what's causing the crashes is it?
Thanks in advance for any insight you guys could offer.
