First of all this is driving me nuts. I feel like I have tried everything!
My PC will just hang whilst working on photographs. It doesn't seem to ever do it when I play Football Manager.
I don't seem to be able to trigger it at a specific point.
In the event viewer all I find is the following (it has 13 occurences in 3 days):
Critical05/10/2016 20:43:11Kernel-Power41(63)
The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.
My hardware.
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3
Processor: AMD FX - 6200 - not overclocked
Cooler: Corsair h80
RAM: Kingston HyperX 4 x 2GB DDR3
Hard Drives: Kingston SSD 240GB, Seagate 2TB SATA x 2 (one is a backup of the other using synctoy), and a Western Digital Green 500GB
Video Card: AMD Radeon HD 7700
WIFI: TP LINK WD4800
Sound Card: Sound Blaster XiFi Audio
Standard DVD CD RW
PSU: Powercool 750w Bronze
1. I reinstalled 10 doing a clean install from the recovery menu in settings. Still hangs.
2. I reinstalled 8 and updated to 8.1 from a fresh. Still hangs.
3. Ran a RAM test and hard drive test. No issues reported. - I did have one issue with one hard drive, it would hang if I accessed a certain folder every time. I have deleted that folder and it no longer hangs.
4. I removed hardware piece by piece. Right until all I had left was onboard video, SSD and 1 x 2GB RAM. Still hangs.
5. I checked my CPU temps. Never got above 40 degrees C.
6. I disabled C1 and C6e in BIOS. Still hangs.
7. I disabled the energy saving feature for my processor in BIOS. Still hangs.
8. I moved my scratch disk off my Windows drive. Still hangs.
9. I've tried a mix of Windows drivers and the original ones. Still hangs.
I think there's other things I have done after reading posts but I really can't remember everything.
Can anyone give me any more suggestions to try please?
