Desktop freezes after 5 minutes.

ChronoGlenn · Mar 2, 2017

Hi,
My desktop freezes and when I restarted, had some green bars on screen.

After switch to onboard GPU, Windows starts, but crash with less than five minutes every time.

I made the windows 10 restore, since could be some GPU driver problem, but I got the same results.

I already test my memories with memtest and my HDD with HDDScan.

It's more likely to be the motherboard or my PSU? Or even CPU?

Thx.

1| If you're testing memory using memtest86, you should do so with at least 10 passes to rule them out.
2| Seasonic do not make hard drives, if that's what you're implying. Can you be specific with the make and model of the Seasonic PSU? You'd be served well if you could also state the age of the PSU.
3| Can you also state the driver revision you're currently on for the HD7870?
4| Your system will need 500W of power with the dedicated GPU but I'm inclined to think your PSU is curently incapable of delivering the power necessary for the entire system thus the reboot.
5| I know it's futile to say this but have you made sure your motherboard BIOS is up to date?

Seasonic 520GB is my PSU. And delivery 520W.

My HDD is a WD 1TB

My GPU has about 4 years.
I already used a PSU from corsair, CX500, and now I am using this seasonic for about 2 years.

Since I changed to onboard GPU when I restored my Windows 10, I think my driver it's not the problem

About my bios, I never updated, it's a old version, but I am using this machine for about 4 years.

I will apply a new thermal paste.
