Freeze in game / No BSOD / no overheating

Last response: in Systems
Share

Hi all.

I have been having this problem foooor about 3-4 months now and have tried various quick fixes (buying new hardware). In games such as Civ 5 / BF3 etc etc I will get a random freeze sometimes after 30 mins sometimes 2/3/4 hours occasionally with a sound loop but mostly just a freeze. I have monitored temps and nothing seems to go major high.

I have ran Memtest overnight all fine, checkdsk several times no problems. Furmark for a few hours which maxed at 79 degrees, drivers up to date (I think....). I really am at a total loss here now. I will list my parts below and the rough age of said parts. If I miss something useful please tell me and I'll try and get it.

I think the only difference between our machines is I have the 960T unlocked to hexacore, but they are similar and TBH I have no issues.

Three things:

Are your drivers up to date?
Have you tried to overclock it? I'm asking because that's what you buy a Black Edition for.

What's your CPU, GPU temp on load?

How many Watt's is your PSU?

Need more info please :) 


GPU full load was 79~
CPU Ill test when I get home and report back
500W PSU

No not overclocked got it because it was on special offer!
As far as I know my drivers are up to date yea, i recently got some new graphics card drivers anyway (like 3 days ago)

Seems like my RAM was faulty even though it was passing Memtest which is very strange indeed. Replaced it today and PC has been up and running for 7~ hours in various games / ps3 media server etc etc.

I ran Memtest OVERNIGHT which came back with no errors so clearly Memtest was useless. It doesn't make sense to me at all but yea 100% confirmed now to be fixed. Left the PC on all weekend, played some games / used the PS3 media server etc etc not a single freeze.

I only purchased the new RAM out of desperation to be honest, there was nothing to say it was faulty at all just turns out I got lucky.
