Hi, I have a custom built PC that has been running fine for a few years now. It has recently however began to freeze and shut down randomly. It is getting worse and worse now. Usually the video will just freeze and become unresponsive. I have to manually restart it. Other times, and this is rare, it will just shut off by itself. I never get blue screens or errors of any sort. I looked at Event Viewer in Windows and discovered that a few seconds before my PC freezes “CCC.exe” fails to load by trying to start mantle64.dll. My card doesn't support mantle. I tried uninstalling Catalyst and using drivers provided by Windows Update. It still would freeze. I decided to take the video card out and yet again it froze again. I bought a power supply tester and it showed the PSU was fine. I updated my BIOS and still it freezes. One thing I should note is that Windows is not the only OS I use on my machine, but it is my preferred OS. I have OSX running on it and I use to have a few Linux distros running without any hiccups. I am wondering whether or not its hardware or software. To me it seems like the graphics card is running fine, temperatures for CPU and GPU are fine. The SSD is fine from what I understand. I ran Memtestx86 for over 10 hours without any errors found. The PC will just randomly freeze, whether I’m in Microsoft Word or Powerpoint, or on Chrome. It even froze while writing this post! If sound is playing while it freezes, the sound will stutter in a continuous loop. I can’t find a pattern behind this, and I’m out of ideas. I have constantly been reading on forums online on things to look for and do. I’m out of ideas. The only thing I have yet to try is to format my SSD and reinstall Windows without the graphics card and not install AMD drivers for it. I really dont want to so help me out community. Thanks!
