Hello all,
So a few months after building my first pc my computer has been hardlocking randomly while playing video games. The time between crashes range from a few days, to everyday, to even 12 hours in between.
Normally when a crash occurs, the crash will become a daily instance until I make an attempt to fix it again. (Such as reseating CPU, Ram, GPU, you name it, I've done it)
I've replaced the PSU, and Motherboard, and these crashes still continue to persist. I've ran MemTest for 30 hours, and not one error. I've stress tested my GPU and CPU, no crashes during the tests, and no errors either. I've ran Diskcheck countless of times, no errors.
I've done a clean install of windows, and the crashes persist. I've removed Ram sticks, and crashes persist after trying out varies combinations of my 4 sticks. I've removed my GPU, and crashes persist, albeit slightly different due to there being a visual aspect to these crashes.
This is what happens during a crash: My pc will hard lock. Any images displayed on my monitor will be frozen, and my peripherals (such as mouse and keyboard) no longer have input, and/or have no power, and such aren't on. (LED light on mouse, and my Audio interface indicates this.)
The crashes have changed before having visual artifacts, which caused me to remove my GPU to verify that's not/or is the cause. After the removal of the GPU my pc would still crash with a visual artififact. After reseating my cpu, ram, removing and installing all my cables again I would no longer get these visual artifacts. Just the good ole' hardlocks.
I'm on my last knee here with my new motherboard installed, and not even 6 hours in, and I crash. I need advice on what to do, what the cause could be, etc. Thank you.
