Running a windows 7 pc with the following parts -
Asus p8p67 deluxe motherboard
Intel 2600k processor
Corsair AX850 power supply
Gskill 8gb DDR3 1600 Ram (two sticks)
1 tb Western Digital HD
Nvidia EVGA GTX 570
I have been having trouble for a couple weeks now. The computer will just freeze, once or twice there was a loud staticy/screechy noise from the speakers. It never recovers from the freeze, I have to power it off and reboot. There are no error reports, no blue screens, the only message I get is Windows wasn't shut down properly. It doesn't matter what I am doing, I have had it hang while only the desktop is loaded and while I am watching movies while playing games.
Had a similar problem when I first built the system but it was cleared up when I turned off all options for Windows going into standby/sleep mode. Checked the settings and they are still off.
I have tried -
6 different virus scans (all clean except for tracking cookies)
Malwarebytes
Ad aware
Spybot
Memtest 86 (both sticks and 1 stick at a time)
Windows Memory diagnostics (both sticks and 1 stick at a time)
Updated Bios to the most current version
Ran the computer with each memory stick in every different slot, one at a time
Windows repair
Restored Windows to an earlier point
Reseated the heatsink after reapplying thermal paste.
Updated the drivers.
Cleared CMOS.
I also monitor temperatures with Core Temp, GPU-z, CPUID and the Asus built in program. Temps for the GPU never go past 70 even under 89% load, the CPU is rarely over 60 even at 100% (ran Prime95 for 17 hours). So doubt it is a temp issue.
Anyone have any suggestions? Going a bit nuts here. Everything I have read seems to point to it being a RAM problem, could it be the motherboard slots don't work right? Hard drive dying (or just a piece of junk)? Something else?
Getting really tired of being in the middle of things and it hanging.
