Hello all,
I'm having my PC for a while now and experience weird issues from the start.
The computer freezes up with a load static noise or somethimes just reboots.
When it freezes I notice my USB connected devices like mice and keyboard lose power as the backlight goes out.
I have to physically turn of the computer and turn it back on.
The are no dump files cretaed and the log only shows kernel 41 errors which I created by turning it of physically.
The system works fine with gaming, I use it for that the most.
The problem appears when I do one of the following things (most are video related):
1. Watching Youtube (in any browsers it freezes/reboots somewhere between 1 sec and 10 min)
2. Watching movie files on local disk (VLC and media player)
The weird thing with this is when It freezes and I turn the computer off and on and start the movie again the same thing happens at the same scene of the movie.
3. Playing a game that has video content in it ( for example the login screen of world of tanks)
(Once in game it's stable but it crashes 50% of the time at the login screen where the movie is playing in the background)
4. While zipping or unzipping large files.
5. While I render a movie project in either powerdirector or adobe elements
As I mentioned I have this issue a long time and there are lots of things I tried over time:
- I ran memtest for 24 hours and no issues
- It passes Prime stresstest
- Have no heat issues
- I swapped PSU and GPU and same problem
- I checked my system disk with Samsung Magician and its healthy
- Did a large ammount of reinstallations and used different drivers
What do you guys think the issue can be?
I do know that when it was assembled the first mobo was screwed by installing the CPU wrong.
The mobo was replaced but not the CPU. Can the CPU be the cause of this kind of issues? Seems more video related so dont know.
The system is a bit older but still speedy enough for me.
If it was stable I would only upgrade my videocard but because the freezing issue realy starts driving me mad I'm tempted to replace everything.
As a last attempt I hope someone here can help me out.
These are my system specs:
mobo: Asus Maximus VI Hero VI
cpu: 4770K
cpu cooler: Noctua NH-D14
ram: 2 x 8 GB G.Skills Trident-X (2133MHZ, duall kit)
ssd: Samsung 840 Pro 256 GB
hdd: WD caviar black 2 TB
psu: Seasonic x-750
case: Corsair 750D
gpu: MSI GTX 680 Twin Frozr III
os: Windows 8.1 premium (64 bit)
Your help is much appreciated!
