Good afternoon
I built a Gaming PC the past year, and I've been having a problem that really annoys me and I don't appear to find a solution anywhere.
Everytime I start my PC, it has a reboot loop around 3 times before fully booting normally, however, there are times where even if it boots, it restarts and boots again.
Most of the times I have hangs and very slow waiting times when browsing steam or Chrome.
Some other times, it will just simply freeze when idle or doing simple tasks like browsing Chrome or Steam, (sometimes gaming as well) the speakers will make a creaking sound if this happens. And I'd have to make a hard reset.
Some other times it'll just restart with no warning.
This issue comes and goes in a very unpredictable manner, although I can use the PC without problems most of the time.
My trouble shooting so far has been:
-checked my RAM voltage and they seem fine. Also, performed a test with Windows 7 memory testing built in tool.
-Checked Mobo for signs of decay or rust, double checked connections, Fine so far.
My PC Specs are:
CPU: Amd FX-6300 w/ stock cooling fan, no OC
MOBO: GIGABYTE GA-970A UD3P
GRAPHICS: EVGA 750Ti 2GB
RAM: 8gb Balistix Sport 16000 mhz CL9 DDR3 (Two sticks of 4gb)
HDD: 1TB Seagate Barracuda Hard Drive 3.5" SATA III - ST1000DM003
PS: EVGA 500W
Thanks for any help you can provide!
