A few months back I started experiencing random full freezes. Mouse and keyboard wouldn't work, screen stopped in the middle of whatever was going on, and audio became one continuous horrifying noise.
I hadn't opened my PC or done anything in particular with it around the time it started.
Since then, it's become a common issue. It is now happening daily, some times even twice a day. It lasts until I restart.
I had some advice from the r/PCMR discord, which had me check the Event Viewer, XMP (which was off, and remains so), and to try to ping my PC, when it freezes, from another device on my local network.
When I tried to ping my PC from my wife's PC, it came back with 100% packet loss and a "host not found" message every time. I am able to ping hers from mine without issue.
PC:
OS: Windows 10 Home, 64 bit
CPU: i7-8700
GPU: GeForce GTX 1080
RAM: HyperX Fury 16 GB
HDD: Seagate 1 TB
SSD: Kingston 250 GB SSD
PSU: Corsair TX650M
MOBO: ASUS Z370-A
Thank you in advance for any and all help.
Sincerely,
V
