Hey !
I'll try to make it short ..
So as stated, my PC freezes completely (have to force-reset) and loud buzzing sound comes out of my speakers/headphones. I've been testing stuff for a couple of months now, and I am at my lowest and I really have no idea what to do anymore.. so hopefully posting here, someone can help me. Now I've done the following:
- Swapped out MOBO + GPU (so first setup of mobo + gpu crashed, now second setup of mobo + gpu crashed as well (purchased new ones))
- Reinstalled windows twice
- memtested ram (but I cannot remember if I only did them two at a time, or did I take one out and tested them both seperately) !!!
- Played without GPU (MOBO only)
- Played without HDD
- Reinstalled drivers (mostly by reinstalling windows)
- Kept an eye on Temps (nothing unusual, but I might be wrong) !!!
Notes:
- I don't do anything crazy with the PC. Simply Install the few games I play and that's it.
- I used to own Nvidia, disabled it under sound devices and didn't crash for a solid few days
- When I removed HDD, I haven't crashed for a solid few days
- .. weird stuff basically
- also on an off-note, ever since I bought new GPU, I get this squeaky sound ( something like a rat ) out of the back of my PC (PSU??), after a while of playing, and it's quite annoying (YAY more problems !! ), but that has nothing to do with my crashing I believe, as I only recently bought the new GPU, and I've been crashing ever since I built my PC. Note that I have the monitor I have the games on plugged through a DisplayPort adapter via HDMI. I haven't properly tested by taking it off, and just running the lone HDMI single monitor yet, but I still had squeaking coming out of the back every so little for a little while after I took it off ( I turned the 2nd screen back on shortly afterwards though )
- I've now taken out speakers and disabled all possible Monitor tabs in the sound device options. Will see if that will do anything ...
Specs:
- 2x ASUS VS247HR, 59,9 cm Monitors
- Intel Core i5-6600 3,3 GHz CPU
- Corsair DDR4-240 16GB RAM
- Samsung 850 EVO Series 250GB SSD
- EVGA SuperNOVA G2 80 Plus Gold 550 Watt PSU
- Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H90
- ASUS Z170-P, Intel Z170 Mainboard MOBO
- XFX Radeon RX 480 OC Edition, 8192 MB GDDR5 GPU
So again, I really hope that there's a way to fix this, as I have 0 idea of what else to do.. and testing this is really exhausting. Thanks in advance !
UPDATE: 05/03/2017
- Increased voltages in BIOS/Intel burned my CPU for a solid few hours on maximum, NO crash.. then proceeded to play Overwatch all night, NO crash.. wake up in the morning, do an hour of training grounds in Overwatch (so no other players, pure bots and barely any effects, and I crashed
UPDATE: 06/ AND 07/03/2017
- Tested non-stop 4 hours of gaming with 1 RAM STICK only 1x 8GB+Prime95 running
- RAM 1 results = 4 hours gaming NO CRASH
- RAM 2 results = 4 hours gaming NO CRASH
- Tested non-stop 4 hours of gaming with DUAL RAM 2x 8GB+Prime95 running
- RAM 1+2 simultaniously CRASHED AFTER 2 HOURS
^ All in all, 16 hours of gaming + Prime95 at the same time ^
- I am going to go and apply new PSU soon. Until that arrives I am going to play with single RAM and see what happens. I will also do another memtest overnight with both RAM sticks inside (cca. 12 hours testing).
UPDATE 08/03/2017
- 12hs of memtesting, no errors. Will proceed with single RAM testing, and see if I don't crash at all. PSU is on its way.
