Hey guys and gals, I'm looking for some help troubleshooting some computer issues. This is a new build (>1 mo old) and I've been getting full system lockups during the last few days. I'm having trouble figuring out what exactly is going on, so any advice is greatly appreciated. Here's the build: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/ClockworkOJ/saved/Bs2zK8. The OS is Windows 8.1.
I almost always get a full system freeze that requires a hard reset when I try to launch a game. However, I've also gotten freezes from running Prime95 and plugging a USB into the front panel. I've also had some issues where the computer would not turn on from hibernation mode (although, I'm not sure if the screen just wasn't turning on). I also had an issue the other day where I booted the computer and got a red glitchy screen that took a few resets to remove. It's also worth noting that I was getting graphical glitches in games when the system was running more smoothly.
So far I've run memtest86 and found no errors. I also ran the Windows Disk utility and found no errors on either drive. The unreal engine benchmark ran fine and so did the realbench utility, although I only did one pass on each. Both the CPU and GPU were overclocked. I've since reset the GPU to factory settings, but am still getting system locks. When I have some time tonight I'll reset the CMOS and try running Prime95 again on stock settings. Do y'all have any suggestions? (FYI the mobo doesn't have a video out and I do not have access to another video card to test, so neither of those are viable options for me)
Thanks!
