I bought a computer in July, and has recently started having problems in games with mini freezes which interrupt me whilst playing games it is very annoying. i have already sent the computer back to the people who made it, they claim there is no problems with it, i even showed them this video, they also ran games on the PC. it isn't just these games it is most games, still claiming that there is no problem.

Just by looking at it you can see that something there isn't right...

Iv tried a lot of things iv put different ram in, im not going any further with changing the other hardware unless the company who made it sort it out yet, which is very unlikely to happen, it isn't driver problems, i have re installed windows over 4 times since this problem has occurred and didnt change a single thing.

Does anyone know what could be causing this to happen? if i know for sure what part is broken i will buy a new one myself as long as it isn't GPU or CPU


My Specs are:

I7 4790
MSI GTX 770
Corsair CX600
Gigabyte H81M-H
8GB Hyper X Fury 1600mhz

I had a similar problem (playing a game, suddenly the game stops/pauses/freezes for about 1-2 seconds and then continued without a problem). This occured few times during about 30min session. If you think you have the same problem, here was my solution:

My RAM timings were off in my BIOS. First of all, you should check if you have only one type of RAM in your computer. If you have different models or manufacturers, you most likely have this problem. Check the ram model number from the ram stick and google the timings for that model. You should look for 4 numbers (example: 9-9-9-24).

My case was this: I had 2 different ram modules with different set of timings. Other one had 9-9-9-24 and the other had 9-9-9-27. My bios was set to 9-9-9-25. I never even had touched those settings. I removed the 4gb ram module and left the 8gb one inside. Then I adjusted the timings to recommended in bios. Problem solved.

If you have the same case: 1. Check the needed RAM timings. 2. Shut down computer, boot it up again and press the needed key to open bios. 3. Go to AI Tweaker, scroll down to "Dram timings" or something similar. Check that the 4 numbers match with the ones you found from google. If they dont, just change them.
