So I just built this PC about a month or so. These are the specs:
CPU: Intel Pentium 3.50 GHz Dual-Core LGA 1151 (G4560)
GPU: Gigabyte Geforce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB GDDR5
HDD: WD - Blue 1TB Internal SATA Hard Drive (windows 10)
Mother Board: GIGABYTE GA-B250M-DS3H LGA1151 Intel Micro ATX DDR4
RAM: Ballistix Sport LT 8GB Single DDR4 2400 MT/s (PC4-19200)
PSU: EVGA B1, 80+ BRONZE 450W
About 2 or 3 weeks into the PC, it froze once or twice while working on software that I use for my job (ArcGIS). Everything stayed fine and normal.
Fast forward to yesterday and here is what happened:
It froze, so I had to hold the front button on the tower the turn it off, it did.
-Turned it back on, and instead it would power on for 1 second, then off, then on, then off, then on, then off
-Then it would turn on and the FANS would be REVING. They would spool up fast, then slow, then fast, then slow, then fast, then slow, then it beeped 5, 1 second long beeps and then it would shut down. Then it turns on again and the cycle of fan reving, 5 beeps, shuts down, turns on - repeat.
What I did was just jiggle stuff around cuz I read that it has something to do with the Ram stick being inserted incorrectly idk but it seemed to work.
Today it happened again.
I was working on that software and the exact same thing that happened yesterday, it repeated today.
All the crazy turning off and on, reving of the fan(s), 5 beeps. jiggle stuff around and it was fixed for about 30 mins.
but then.....it froze, i turned it off, when i tried to turn it on the same thing would happen except instead of 5 beeps it was 6, 1 second long beeps. I juggled stuff around and it didn't seem to work as easily. I had to juggle stuff around and then tried waiting some time before i tried starting it up again. It seemed to work, except now the problem I have is it freezes. I'll be doing any random task (using the work software and even tried to queue up for 1 league of legends match) and it freezes.
The thing this time is I can turn it on and it boots without a hiccup, however it has frozen 3x since the last time it was going in a boot loop.
What should I do?
is the the processor? thermal paste? bad ram stick? bad Motherboard? thank you for reading
BTW: I've had 2 blue screens also, 1 yesterday and 1 today. Here are the 2 codes
1 (yesterday) DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
*i have no clue what that means, and looking it up didn't help me either*
2 (today): SYSTEM_THREAD+EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
nvlddmkm.sys
* I looked this one up and I guess it was a software issue that I had to uninstall and re download to fix*
Thank you!
Following day after I posted this: the computer turned on like normal and stayed on for about 4 hours before it froze. Then the revving of the fans started followed by 5 beeps and a sudden shut down before repeating the loop endlessly.
I moved stuff again (Reinstalled the cpu and moved around the ram stick), and it turns on. It does the 1 beep to reaffirm me that everything is loading correctly. Soon after that beep, the GPU fan stops spinning, and as it loads either freezes at the first loading image (motherboard picture during loading) or it freezes at the windows 10 log in screen.
