hi
Ive been having problems recently with my system hanging. This only happens when im playing games. They dont even have to be particularly demanding games like Call of Duty but it still happens. The computer stays on the sound stays on a small loop for about a minute and then goes into weird moshy sound. The display remains on, recieving a signal but blank.
Now you may be wondering why on earth i have posted this thread here but i have a few suspicions about my motherboard. I have reinstalled windows twice with no avail and the ram has been tested. There was a burning smell coming from my psu however on closer inspection this was just a massive build up of dust. Just to be safe i tried another power supply however the system still hung.
Windows error reporting just reports it as an application hang so theres nothing there that gives me any information. The cpu temperature does not seem to get very high and when left running for 3 hours just in the bios monitoring temps it didnt go above 36 degrees. I also tried overclocking it however the temperature still didnt rise and it didnt crash. The motherboard temperature is reported to be about 40 degress but doesnt seem to go any higher than that. The cpu cooler is not hot to touch however one of the chipset coolers becomes unbearable to touch after about 5 seconds. I think this is the south bridge however they are all linked together with copper cooling pipes. However because of the reportedly low temperature in the bios for the motherboard i dont think this is a problem. This system was playing games fine since christmas so it did work.
Any suggestions on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated. Ive been tearing my hair out for more than a month now.
thanks
