Pc randomly freezes; everything stops, yet the last image (whatever i was doing lastly) is there. No sound buzzing or anything but the only option is hard reset. Also bios doesn't show one of the three chasis fans. The other two goes slightly mad, for ex: they work at a rate of 3200 normally but for an infinitesimal period of time (like not even half of a second) they go 19000 or something without sudden acceleration. It first happened when i was using win7, then i upgraded to win10. Everything was perfect for about a month but then it happened again. It also freezed during formatting once, which led me to taking out the bios battery. Then i did a clean windows installation and now i'm writing because i think it will happen again. Also when i did an sfc scan once during win7 and once during win10 (the one i upgraded from win7) sfc found some corruptions yet was unable to fix them. But now, after a clean installation it says ''sfc didn't find any corrupted files''. That's about it, I would really be grateful if you could at least lead me to any direction. (Sorry if this is the wrong place to open this thread. I'm new on these kind of stuff.)

Edit: The freezing first happened when i was playing a game during win7 period, then it got really worse as it was freezing just after the desktop shows itself. During win10 (upgraded from win7 version) it freezed while i was watching a tv series. And then it freezed even during formatting. Now im using a clean installed win10 for about two weeks and nothing happened so far. Thanks in advance.

Yes, I know they are 4 X 4GB, but are they the 16GB kit? which means they come with 4 x4GB. Or the 2 X 8GB Kit? which means two sets of the 8GB RAM, and each set is the 2 X 4GB. If you buy 2 x 8GB kit, you mixed the RAM even they have the same timing/speed, they may or may not play well each other.
Add: And wait to see what happens, can you update it?

-AMD FX-8350 4.2 Ghz
-12Gb Memory (4gb on 3 of the slots, 2133 mhz)
-Win10 Pro (64 bit)
-GTX 980 Poseidon (without water cooling kit)
-Asus Sabertooth 990fx/Gen 3.0 R2.0
Editing for an additional spec, i thought it might be necessary. I have a 600W psu.
Sorry if i forgot something, as I said before i'm new on these stuff. Thanks btw.

Firstly, I'm more than sorry to answer your question two days later, the site was supposed to send me an email whenever someone send a reply but it did not.

As to brand and model of the psu, It is probably Corsair, but i cannot say for sure since i'm not able to take it out completely and put it back in. I'm not qualified enough to do that, unfortunately.

1) I checked the cpu fan, which i bought after buying the cpu. I mean, i don't use the stock fan that comes with the cpu. I bought a cooler master hyper tx3 EVO. I checked the readings from bios and it seemed to go up and down parallelly with the temperature.
2)Well i thought the same thing at first, but why would it take the psu to cause a freeze after a long time than immediately ? I mean, i'v been using this pc for almost more than a year and it did something like this for the first time two months ago (not sure how long has it been since the first freeze). And during the upgraded version of win10, it took it to freeze almost a month.
3)I did a clean installation for GPU driver as well this time along with win10. I did not install any unnecessary programs like GeForce experience or other stuff.
4)Well after it froze during upgraded win10, even during formatting, i took out the bios battery as well as the rams and put them back in. I changed the slots of the rams with each other. As to motherboard, i don't exactly know how to check it throughly but I play games for a long time, all the time. Games such as newly released Overwatch and Witcher 3. I'm not an expert, but wouldn't a hardware part that doesn't work properly cause a freeze almsot immediately rather than a month or so later ?

Again, sorry for the late answer and thank you for your help.

Edit: Actually a while back, my first gpu which was Mars gtx 760 (a dual gpu modelled as one, saying this in case you haven't heard of it, though you probably did :D ) went mad. Its fans started to accelerate suddenly, for a few seconds they hit to a hundred percent then they slowed down to normal. I used it for months like that until i changed it with my current GPU. I thought it was worth mentioning since i didn't change any other part including my motherboard.

The tx3 evo for fx8350? You should check the cpu temp by HWiNFO64 http://www.hwinfo.com/download.php

Also check the RAM one by one by MemTest86 http://www.memtest86.com/download.htm And install the AMD chipset driver too http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/chipset?os=Windows%208%20-%2032

For the Corsair, if you had the CX model, it maybe have problem for your fx8350/ gtx980, because it has poor quality capacitors. During that period it did try to work hard to power your pc, but it may have the hard time to keep up anymore, then it may cause the problem. Also here is the article about the PSU, you will find the info. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/power-supply-psu-review,2916.html

Thank you for your quick response. I believe there is not a difference between the portable and installer version of HWİNFO64 ? and as to amd drivers, it says it supports win8, yet i'm using win10 ? Would it cause any problems ?

http://oi68.tinypic.com/b96b9x.jpg here is the link to hiwinfo readings image. I thought it would be better if you see them.

I will add the memtest results shortly, thought it will take me some time to figure out how to do a memtest correctly since i'm not good enough yet.

Edit: Btw, the reading in the small box on the right side of the HWİNFO move really fast, I mean they keep hitting the end of the box erraticly. At a moment 3 of them are x7.00 for example, then the other ones are x7.00 and the ones that were x7.00 are x21.00. these changes happen so quickly even as i'm writing this down now.

So sorry to say this, you will probably think that im an idiot or smth. but i cannot see the temp. readings anywhere on the program. :D there many other things like how many cores are there, yet i can't find where the temprature is.

Oh, okay i think i got it this time;

I'm getting two different tem readings, first one is under the title of the cpu name, Fx-8350. There are current, minimum, maximum and average. Respectively, the temps are 17-29(current) -- 16.4 -- 38.5 -- 22.1.

The second readings are under the title of the motherboard's name. Again, Respectively they are 37--36--38--36

these are the temp readings for cpu. there are reading for motherboard, cpu and gpu as well. Drivers are around 25 C, while GPU is 31 while im not doing anything other than writing on chrome. Motherboard is 29-30.

Well, there are ''+3.3V, +5V, and +12V'' only under the title of motherboard's name. Yet they are not temps i guess. I will write exactly what i see.

+12V = 12.210-12.261V -- 12.107V -- 12.261V -- 12.221V

+3.3V = 3.240V -- 3.192 -- 3.264 -- 3.241

+5V = 4.953-4.974 -- 4.910 -- 4.974 -- 4.956

some of them go up and down occasionally as i look at them, though not so much.

And the voltages are look OK too. Try test the RAM one by one by MemTest86. But before you test the RAM, and make it easy you can just run the PC with only one stick RAM or two ( make sure they are the 2X4GB kit) to see the PC will freeze or not, because you had 3 x 4GB RAM, that means you mix the RAM, sometime they may cause problem too, that is why I recommend use only single one or use the two, which are the 2x 4GB kit.

Actually, sorry to not have said this before, during the two freezes, i got 16 gb ram, meaning 4x4gbs. Then i took out one of them cause there was a tiny fracture at the end of it. not on the important-looking yellow parts though. Let me be more clear, my RAMs' brand is Gskill, if you would take a look at their shape, they got these small, empty circles at their both ends. So, some part of one of those circles on one of my rams were not there, i mean it was fractured. I feared that it might be dangerous to keep using it that way, so i removed it. Thank you and again i'm sorry i didn't mention it before.

So do you still have the same problem or not? if your PC runs fine now, that means the problem may be caused by the mixing RAM. Also the problem may not be caused by losing one of two small circles, like the bottom part of the circle, but depends on how big the area it lost.
And are those the 16GB Kit RAM (4x 4GB) or the 2 sets of 8GB ( 2X4GB) ?

Well, i have four, seperate rams which of all are 4 gbs on their own. So, seperate 4gb rams on four slots on motherboard. Though right now one of them have been taken out. My pc runs fine now, but as i said before, it ran fine for almost a month before the second freeze during upgraded win10. That's why i have written here in the first place. I keep carrying the fear of freeze all the time in me. The lost area is not that big, like, half of the circle if i may say.

Oh, really sorry to be a slowwitted about these things, well i actually bought those rams from very trusted friend. I don't know if they are 4x4GB or 2x 8gb kit, but i'll give him a call and try to find out. As to updating, if you mean i wait and write here what happens after a while, then yeah i can absolutely do it. Thank you for all your help.
