Specs-
q6600 at base clock
4 gigs of ddr2
gt 630 2gb keplar(+150 on both core and mem clocks)
I've had this problem for a while now. While playing games the pc will just completely hard freeze. Sound stops, all the fans are running and the last frame before the freeze is on the monitor. Except, the hdd light turns off. The temps are under reasonable limits. I've tried chkdsk on both partitions but it returns no errors(although it does seem to fix the issue for a while before an abrupt power loss?(placebo maybe)) I've tried memtest and it returned no errors. The pc never freezes during normal usage. It's just when I'm playing some games(csgo has freezed multiple times and a couple of other games too). SMART utility shows 100 pending sector count and 100 unreadable sectors. The psu is probably not the culprit because it's a new antec unit(just installed a new cm 450 80+, will see if that changes anything). I'll leave aida 64 stress test on for tonight and see if that freezes it.(but i've only really seen it happen while playing games). I'm really not able to pinpoint the problem so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
. BTW the freezes are completely random. Sometimes they don't happen for hours and sometimes they happen every times I'm 10 minutes into the game.
