Hi All,
First post here, greetings!
I am a PC enthusiast and looking to enhance my knowledge / save my stress with my current setup...
I have a custom gaming PC that seems to freeze up when playing games...
Take it back about 5 months ago I had a catastrophic hardware failure whilst exporting a large audio file from Ableton Live 9 with Firefox open (15 or so tabs) and playing CS:Source simultaneously. PC "died" - couldn't boot at all.
Sent the PC back to the factory and they said the PSU failed and burnt out the wiring hence it wasn't booting. It would freeze up before even while playing games on low settings (I had a low end Radeon GPU at the time) but booted all fine after a reset, and carried on as normal until I played games again and pushed it.. I guess i pushed it beyond its limits,
Back from the factory no problems whatsoever, new PSU and I purchased the GTX 1080 Ti. Started playing HD games.. which now crash regularly exactly the same way as before..
There is no error message, just a complete freeze, exactly the same as before so I assume that it could be a PSU failure again; however this is strange because all adds up in terms of PSU component usage and the PC still functions after reboot, and no recorded crash event.
My Specs:
Windows 7 Pro 64 bit
Mobo - Gigabyte 990FXA-UD5
CPU - AMD FX-9590 (no overclock)
RAM - 16gb Corsair vengeance LP
GPU - Gigabyte Aorus GTX 1080 Ti
HD1 - Seagate Barracuda 1tb
HD2 - Seagate Barracuda 2tb
PSU - Corsair CX750 ATX
I have troubleshooted (troubleshot?!) most things, checked the temperature regularly with Open Hardware Monitor and the CPU and GPU don't go over 80 degrees when pushed.
I've checked Event Viewer and it doesn't display anything about an error before or after the crash.
REALLY stuck here guys, any input would be much appreciated - I wanna sort this out for good and develop my system to incorporate VR Sand-boxing and emerging tech so crashes are really hindering any progression as such.
Let me know if you can help!
Thanks,
Charlie
