Hi,

So I recently moved over from an FX-8350 onto a 4690k paired with the Gigabyte DS3-H motherboard and have noticed at times that my PC sometimes freezes up. Twice now I've actually had to hard reset the PC which obviously isn't great.
I noticed that my CPU is running hotter than it should be, I guess I will reapply some thermal paste but I can't imagine it's freezing simply due to heat.

Is there anyway I could find out whether or not my entire system is working the way it should be in one place including: voltages, temps etc.

I will take a look tomorrow, it did look pretty good it may be to do with the paste I was using was a little runny and not so much like paste

and no I haven't done an OS reinstalll i definitely need to do this as I installed a new SSD and haven't used it yet. Is there an easy way to backup files like a service for cloud storage because my external HDD is pretty slow now
 


Until then!
Most likely the reason.
