Unresponsive Error

Unresponsive errors in new builds are usually memory problems. Have you run memtest? You should run it for at least 12 hours with 16GB of RAM. Any errors at all mean you have a bad stick or it's configured wrong.

It could also be the SSD. If memtest does not find any problems try a differnt SATA port and cable. Also make sure your firmware is up to date.

Hi, Can you be more specific regarding the unresponsive error? DId the system work after assembling it? What's the BIOS version?

Bios Version : _ASUS_ - 1072009
BIOS Date: 06/04/12 17:18:09 Ver: 14.04

We installed the system about a month ago, and I had my first unresponsive error the next day. The unresponsive errors happened usually once a day but they are a bit random for example i had 12 today but 1 yesterday. I ran memtest for 10 hours but nothing came up. The system works fine apart from the errors, I can play games and render stuff with no problems. Until the error occurs and i reset the comp. I get this heavy static sound coming from my headphones and the screen freezes up and nothing works.

Dont know if it's relevant but im using a saitek cyborg keyboard and the razer tiamat 7.1 headset.

PS: I basic only used Laptops to this day and this is the first Desktop system I put together, obviously setting up the system was something a more experienced friend did I just observed.

What you can try: reinstall Windows, only the necessary drivers (video, audio), no other ASUS aplications, install a game that you know it gives errors and test.
Borrow a graphics card from your friend for testing only.
Update the BIOS (make sure that you know how to, as it migh render the board unusable).
