okay Intel i5-6500 Corsair H90 Water-cooler GIGABYTE Z170 MX-Gaming 5 AMD Radeon R9 380 4GB 16GB Corsair Vengeance LPX RAM Crucial 240GB SSD 2 Leftover 1TB HDD's from old computer. Antec Three Hundred Two Mid-tower case So, in January I built this computer with my Dad's friend. All was good, except we had to RMA the MOBO, and swap it after it wouldn't POST originally. (MSI - GIGABYTE) so it's built. Everything was fine and dandy for a long time. I started League of Legends again, and that's when everything decided to break. I would be in game, and then all of a sudden the game would freeze, but the screen would go bright green, and the audio would loop. I am forced to hard reset. It happens often enough to make me lose my patience. LIST OF EVERYTHING I TRIED: - Rolling back GPU drivers - Updating GPU Drivers - Reinstalling League of Legends - Restoring factory defaults in AMD Control Center - Monitor temps (GPU ~29 degrees celsius, CPU 18 degrees, (Which sounds wrong) So yeah. I don't think it's hardware. On my case, I have a fan in the front, the back, and on top. The top one doesn't seem to work. Could this be tied to the freezeing and green screening? I'm actually kind of desperate here. I'm getting home tonight, and if anyone could help me out, i'd be incredibly grateful. I'm THINKING it may be a CPU issues, because I can't go back to windows after it green screens, but i'm no expert. Thank you in Advance, Connor

Hi, i'm having this problem like since 4 days ago, when i'm playing this happens: and it just stays likes that, i thought at the beginning that it was a overclock problem so i left my cpu and gpu at stock setting but it still happening, i updated my motherboard to the last bios and installed windows 10 and still happening, these are my specs: -fx8350 -msi gtx 9704gb -m5a97r2.0 -2x hyperx fury 1866mhz -evga 600w 80+ -coolermaster seidon 120xl -hdd 1tb 7200rpm toshiba i tried to look for the problem using furmark+prime95 to stress gpu and cpu but nothing happened, used the windows memory test and it says it's okay and my hdd life is 100% i used all of this like 1 month without problems, it only happens while gaming, please help

Ive just installed windows 10 on brand new built PC. But it freezes after a minute or so. When I try to turn on pc, sometimes when loading windows, sometimes while trying to "get started" (writing pc's users name, connecting to internet, setting password). If I manage to go through that and pc wont freeze then it will freeze when I log in to desktop - the mouse stops and I cant open anything. Ive tried resetting windows three times - first two times it froze mid installation of windows, third time, it managed to install, but in the process of "getting started" it froze again. I have reinstalled windows a couple of times, but still the same problem. Any ideas? EDIT: By the way, I was installing from USB into 120 GB SSD

Greetings, I have a problem with my computer, this is what happens usually: It randomly freezes, and the image stays like a print screen, and I can't click anything, or move, etc (this happens while playing, watching videos, surfing the internet...) Then I have to restart the computer and it freezes a couple more times for a while, until it gets back to normal... And until it happens again All drives are updated, I've tried to switch the GPU, tried with individual disks (I have a 500GB + SSD), formating... But nothing fixed. Can anyone give me some guidelines of where the problem may be, and possibly how to fix it? Thanks in advance!

So I built my own computer recently and i got windows 7 for it and then upgraded to windows 10. For some reason that I am not aware of windows 10 just freezes like the screen just freezes and nothing changes and i have to shut it down with the power button. My Specs: i3-6100, gigabyte h110m-A, nvidia 580, kingston 240Gb ssd,ballistic sport 1 dimm 8Gb, and a evga 750b psu If anybody has had problems like this please let me know how you fixed them. It is really annoying! Things i have tried: resetting os thats pretty much it

This has been an ongoing issue since I "upgraded" to Windows 10 Pro last year... and still an issue even with latest video driver released a few days ago. Intel Core2 Quad Q6600 2.4GHz Nvidia GeForce 8800GTX (Nvidia driver 341.95 WHQL - the latest available for my GPU/OS combo) Philips 200P monitor UXVGA 1600x1200 4GB RAM - way down in the weeds I know... please don't judge EDIT - it was a reformatted HDD and clean install (multiple times in fact). As well as running DDU and installing the latest ver. of the basic driver. At this time I do not have any option to swap out or replace any components... I am stuck with what I have The issue appears to be between the desktop GUI and the driver... under certain loads the video freezes while audio keeps playing for 10-20 seconds, then the audio starts buzzing and the PC reboots... this will happen a few times a month or multiple times an hour... either way, not reliable. Here are some points that hopefully will help in diagnosing: - Will crash (as described above) within minutes when tasking the PC (not just video) including large file transfers or torrent downloading (even if minimized and nothing else happening on screen), web surfing with too much "activity" (motion ads seem to trip the issue), watching YouTube videos (windowed or full-screen), etc. - Will NOT crash while doing ANY of the above if first disabling the Nvidia driver in the Device Manager, but then my resolution maxes out at 1280x1024 and I am unable to play games... duh (this is how I normally run my PC now... solid stability, but what a pain). - Strangely, my PC does NOT crash when playing 3D games with driver activated (most of mine are now on steam, but include 3D games like Crysis, Far Cry, Just Cause, Supreme Commander, etc). I always play full screen, anywhere from 1024x768 - 1600x1200) and haven't bothered to test stability in windowed mode, because, fullscreen! Any help appreciated! Gunner

Hi! I am very new to this forum, but I have came here for a reason. Since the last few days I've had problems with my pc. It freezes every now and then, most of the time it's just random, sometimes it takes hours and sometimes it freezes while I type in my password. I have re-installed windows 10 and it's drivers. What's going wrong?

I own an ASUS Z97-K Motherboard. Each time I want to install an operating system from a flash drive, I get stuck on the POST screen forever and it does absolutely nothing. I can't access the BIOS screen either. I've tried different flash drives, formatted them differently (shouldn't affect it anyway which is doesn't). I can't even access it to change the boot order. I even tried going into the BIOS without the flash drive inserted and then inserting it into it afterwards which does get detected, but whenever I change it to boot it first, it either freezes when I drag the boot priorities in easy mode or works in advance mode but freezes upon restart. Though, I have tried my best to resolve this issue myself, I have also tried updating the motherboard's firmware but still have the same problem. I even checked the boot devices and found something. I noticed that for some reason, there were a lot of Ubuntu boot devices spamming the boot order that were all the same that stemmed from my SSD. I believe this is happening because one time I attempted to install Ubuntu but it failed and refused to boot so I just went back to Windows. Though that's a complicated story to tell. I don't know what to do so far right now. I've looked everywhere on the internet for a solution to this but have found nothing.

This problem has been going on for more than a year now i have searched countless sites and forums i have tried a million different things but no solution could be found. the problem is that whenever have crossfire enabled and i run a game with crossfire(i am aware that crossfire does not activate in borderless or windowed) it freezes my whole pc and there is nothing to get out of it, everything just freezes cursor, keyboard input, music, browser, windows EVERYTHING no exception all i can do is force shutdown my pc with the power button. Ihave no clue what is the problem here are some things i tried: I tested every individual stick of memory. I swapped the gpu's no difference. I tested both gpu's separately the work fine only in crossfire do they give problems. I checked the power supply I under clocked both cards(i also tested with 100% fan speed they stayed a cool 60 C) I under clocked my cpu(and overclocked) no idea how that would affect it maybe drivers ¿?. I did a vram test(all okay no errors) I did a normal stress test on both gpu's and my cpu at the same time(ran fine) I did opencl benchmark using all gpu's and cpu's(ran fine) I switched to multiple different clean installs of windows 8, 8.1,10, and now i have 10 Insider.(no difference) I disabled ULPS I reset the registry edit i did (scroll further) I googled for days (yet no similar problems with solution) Specs: fx-6300 cpu 2x sapphire dual x 285 in crossfire asrock 970 Extreme r2.0 (latest bios) 60 gig kingston ssd(windows 10 pro insider) 2 TB seagate barracuda(for steam and other programs) 16 GB Crucial ram 750 watt coolermaster powersupply note: i did edit the register so that it would install programs on the D: drive by default instead of the C: drive Please help me ;_;

With the budget in mind, we scavenged through the web to find the various parts of his "Dream Machine". He purchased the parts .the next two months we sat together on skype as i walked him through putting his computer together. At last we hit finish on the windows 10 install, the long journey was Over. Or so i though. In the next coming weeks would be the most mind-boggling thing ive ever dealt with a new system. Especially one that someone put 2500 into. After a week of playing I began to receive messages about "the computer kept on freezing and locking up when I play a game." This was odd considering this was a new system. This got progressively worse, Playing for only (more or less depending on how the system is feeling) 30 min at a time. This is a issue of course, so I began to find solutions, and to Save time of explaining all Solutions I will quickly go through them all. Solution 1: Re-Install Graphics Drivers Went through, scrubbed system for old Nvida Drivers and Reinstall No Change, Still Freezes Solution 2: Re-seat GPU No Change, Still Freezes Solution 3: Increased GPU fan speeds GPU was running at optimal Temps. before adjustment: No Change, Still Freezes Solution 4: Re-seat RAM No Change, Still Freezes Solution 5: Single Ram Stick No Change, Still Freezes Solution 6: Manual Reinstall of Drivers No Change, Still Freezes Solution 7: Benchmark CPU No Crash Caused By Running CPU at Max: No Change, Still Freezes Solution 8: Benchmark RAM No Crash Caused By Running RAM at Max: No Change, Still Freezes Solution 9: Benchmark RAM No Crash Caused By Running GPU at Max: No Change, Still Freezes Stumped I keep Digging Deeper and found some interesting things on his Event Viewer. Right Before any freeze or "crash" the computer reported some interesting things in the Even Viewer. FilterManager -File System Filter 'FileCrypt' (10.0, 2015-07-09T22:14:31.000000000Z) has successfully loaded and registered with Filter Manager.FilterManager -File System Filter 'npsvctrig' (10.0, 2015-07-09T22:14:31.000000000Z) has successfully loaded and registered with Filter Manager.(critical) Kernel-Power -The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly. Whenever 'Filecrypt' 'npsvctrig' and loads with filter manager The computer crashes. This was reported after EVERY crash. Upon Research I found out that 'npsvctrig' is a Kernal Driver, a system file. With that In Mind I try the Next Solution: Solution 10: Reinstall Windows and of course ... No Change, Still Freezes Now this is starting to piss me off, I start digging around ever more and discovered (for some random reason) that a Fresh Install of windows had a Windows.old File in it (we imaged windows so no traces left behind) Inside that file there was the 'npsvctrig.sys' file. Solution 11: Remove Windows.old and of course ... No Change, Still Freezes Now im at a lost, whats next I ask myself, Is there a Bad Part? Possible not Plausible Whats Next Guys? Hope your Amazing community can help with this issue. Would any of these Solutions Be it? Revert Back To windows 7 Prefer not to do that, but willing none the less Use another GPU Lack of funds and Physically being by the Computer Older Drivers Cant See this solving anything. Seems that the Kernel File is causing the crash.

My PC will freeze at some random point forcing me to restart/shut down. And when I power it on it will power it self off and on every 2 seconds. As soon as I remove one ram it will boot up normally then die again. Thinking it was the ram I used Memtest86 and to my surprise it pass all the test. I also try removing my graphics card and that dint help as it will eventually freeze with no error or pop up. Also if anyone was wondering about my mobo bios are up to date to the newest bios.

Alright so I loged onto my computer this morning and I started to do some normal stuff. Then I started noticing my computer would freeze for a few seconds. My computer is almost un usable. This is what it looks like - My specs are. 12 GB DDR3 1600 EVGA GTX 960 SSC 2GB Corsair 750 watt power supply i7 4790 quad core @ 3.6 GHz. Windows 10 pro. Kaili2 motherboard I have tried restarting, checking drivers, doing a full system check with McAfee, disk derangement, disk clean up, razer cortex. I really need this fixed. Also sorry if the post is a bit skinny, I was done with it then the page got shut because of lag so I had to start over again.

Ok, I am not sure if its hardware or software problem so please help. When I boot my PC from sleep or a complete shut-down sometimes the PC will log me in but then freeze on the desktop. I can move my mouse but no programs will open and i cant shut it down I have to use the case buttons. I have done a complete re-install of windows and this did not fix the problem. so if it is hardware could you please tell me what is most likely causing it. once the computer has successfully logged on (after several restarts) it works fine no other problems and iv checked cpu usage and that all seem normal...

So i recently build my computer about a month ago and I have run into a recurring problem. After powering on my computer and using it for a varied amount of time (browsing the internet, playing league of legends) both monitors turn different colors (red, pink, purple, blue) then become unresponsive. not bsod. my computer specs are as follows. intel i7 4790k gtx 770 corsair hx750 corsair vengence ram 16gb ddr3 1600 samsung 128 evo ssd wd 2tb green drive asus maximus impact VII noctua NH-D14 HWMonitor says my cpu is running 32-33 degrees and my gpu 29 degrees celcius. Any help would be greatly appreciated. this has been a problem since the computer was build but has been occuring more and more often

Recently I haven't been able to play a lot of game on my PC. I got a SSD (512Gb) which I cloned my old 320Gb hard drive too. The problems started then I couldn't play any games I deleted the game and downloaded but that didn't work either so I re installed the driver on my video card and then I could play all of my games no problem, but its temporary when I shut off my computer and turn it back on I can't play my games my computer freezes in the main menu of the game and I get this weird distorted buzzing sound.

My desktop computer randomly freezes completely when idle, saving files, opening files, and playing video games. The mouse and keyboard and ctrl + alt + del does not work. The hdd activity light is not solid though. OS windows 7 64bit AMD phenom x4 cpu, ati radeon hd 6950 gpu, 6 gb ram, 1 tb hdd. Freezed when importing bookmarks to chrome, opening outlook messages, when updating adobe, when playing cs:go, and sometimes randomly when idle (freezes don't end as far as I can tell, because I waited a few hours and it didn't un-freeze) no error messages except sometimes when turning on again because the only way to restart is to press the power button

I will cover everything I did prior to this problem in cases something I did earlier messed it up. I have a new build and everything was working perfect for two days. I loaded windows, was able to download all the drivers off the ASUS cd that came with my motherboard. I was even playing a couple games with no problems. Everything was going great. Then the internet disconnected, and no networks could be found even though there is at least ten within range. I didn't think much of this at first so in the mean time I updated the bios from 804 to 1103 for the x99 deluxe. I found out that in device manager that the "network driver wasn't working properly". I restored the computer to a date when the internet was working but that didn't do anything. Then I reinstalled windows and that did not fix anything either. After reinstalling windows, I attemped to load the drivers that came with the X99 deluxe motherboard. All the drivers loaded except the Bluetooth 4.0/ WiFi Driver. When it gets to this driver windows freezes forcing me to restart the computer. After a few restarts like this I get the BSOD with error message "Whea_Uncorrectable_Error". I have researched this message and tried doing some trouble shooting steps I found on the internet. I ran CHKDSC in the command prompt and no issues came up. I also did a memory test and no issues came up. I currently just bought a 25ft ethernet cable so I could get connected to the internet. I did all the windows updates and still my computer freezes when I try loading the bluetooth/wifi driver. I also have also tried getting the latest version from the ASUS website and still it freezes. What does this mean? Why was I able to install this driver the first time not now? What should I do now?

My corsair k70 RGB keyboard lighting freezes every time i open steam or origin and sometimes freezes to nothing at all. It is a known issue to a lot of people out there with the same problem but is it a software problem that can be solved on an update or is it a faulty keyboard that i should RMA?

so yeah, my work PC doesn't actually turn off, i'm running windows 7, all new parts, and when it says 'shutting down' the circle will spin, and then just freeze, doesn't matter how long I leave it it'll just stay as it is. Very weird, never seen anything like this before, anyone know of a way to fix this? Not a major problem just concerning me that's all. Thanks guys

A few weeks ago, I built a new desktop with the following specs: CPU: 2-core Intel Pentium G3258 MoBo: MSI Z97M-G43 Chipset: Intel Z97 Express Graphics: 4GB GDDR5 EVGA GT 740, Superclocked One DVI output is being used at 1240x1080 RAM: 8GB Kingston HyperX 1866MHz DDR3 64-bit Windows 7 Ultimate running on a freshly formatted 120GB SSD, along with most programs. Media and some programs are stored on a 1000GB, 7200RPM Seagate HDD. Its primary purpose is game development / gaming, amateur music production / animating; and its secondary purpose is heavy internet browsing / media. A matter of days after it was built, I noticed that the computer often has bouts of frequent, irritating freezes caused by the CPU; during which, it does not respond and sometimes (but not always) even the cursor stops working. I created a forum thread asking what CPU I should buy to replace the g3258, but they did not get enough information, so they didn't believe that it was the CPU that was freezing and gave me the wrong advice. I decided to create a new thread to get rid of the other confused replies, and because the cause of the problem may be something other than hardware. Let me explain. The graphics card is definitely not the problem. It never dips below 75 fps (refresh rate for my monitor) when doing anything but very intensive graphics. When the freezes occur, they occur whether I am running a program that involves graphics or none at all. These freezes are definitely the CPU overloading, for the following reasons: 1. When the computer freezes, it does not respond to any inputs for several seconds. 2. If I have task manager open, during a freeze, it always says that the CPU (both cores) are at 100% processing capacity. The moment it goes below 100% is when it unfreezes. No exceptions have ever occurred. Now, there is one thing I observed that may point to the cause BEHIND the CPU getting overloaded being something else. Any time I press the button on my keyboard to make the computer sleep, and then come back a few hours later, the freezes occur very commonly and for extended periods of time - at least once per minute that is over 5 seconds. After a restart, the freezing stops. If I leave the computer running overnight without letting it go on standby, when I use it in the morning, generally there are no issues. I will do further testing tomorrow and give an update. In any case, the Pentium architecture IS old and I want a better CPU, so I will be buying the core i5-4690K. However I suspect that this freezing problem still needs to be resolved. In conclusion, the CPU getting overloaded is definitely the problem - not the graphics card. However, the cause to the freezes COULD be something else. If you have any ideas to help, that would be very great. Thank you for reading this enormous wall of text that I spent 40 minutes writing on my phone, and thank you in advance for the help!

Hi there. I have a problem regarding my graphics card. It basically freezes, and all I can do is move my cursor and nothing else. when playing games that require a lot from the card I need to restart the computer because I can't do anything. I can even browse GIFs on reddit and it will freeze. What i have done already, I have turned off the powersavings for the PCIe. I have slightly overclocked the gpu because I wanted a more smooth run on some games. though this is not much, at all! The crashing also happened before I did the overclocking. I have reinstalled my gpu drivers and removed the old drivers beforehand. After the most recent freeze did, my eventlog on the system bar spassed out. it was endless with errors as shown in the pictures. I have added DXDiag pictures and eventlog pictures. if there is more you guys want then ask. all the eventlogs are the same errors that came up, so that is all the failures that happened.

When I try to install the software for the k95 keyboard my PC freezes. I've tried the install multiple times, but the PC freezes every time so I have to restart the PC (nothing responds, not even ctrl+alt-del). I have already tried to reinstall windows, but the problem remains. Due note that I've had a similar problem before when trying to install another software. I know it's not a hardware related problem because I've got it up and running with my laptop. It might be a driver problem of some sort but i don't know what type of driver i'll have to install. Drivers are probably out of date as well

PC has been locking up and occasionally auto rebooting or BSOD'ing. Okay so I will list absolutely everything I know about my PC and it's issues. Everything I have tested and learned since this started happening. Things I've ruled out and things that it may be. *I have tested RAM, fine *I have looked in my startup folder, empty *replaced PSU, twice *brought it to friend's house 3 separate times and left it there for days each time, worked perfect there. Even with every piece of my setup including the extension cord I use at my house. *Swapped GPU's, same issues *CPU temps are usually low and are not causing the lockups * getting normal voltage readings on my motherboard software *All Bios and Drivers are 100% up to date * plugged PC in in almost every outlet in my house, all do the same. * Voltage and wattage does not dip or spike before, during or after a lockup as I checked with multi-meter and watt meter * Lockups NEVER happen when running games for awhile. * tends to lockup browsing the internet or shorty after starting up Steam. *Will Not lock up on safety mode or safety mode with networking * It can lockup using 30W or 150W, seems to not matter how much power I'm using. * keeping fans on low decreases the frequency of my lockups * occasional auto-reboots or BSOD's * Graphics drivers occasionally do not load following an auto reboot or BSOD, sometimes games uninstall as well * Seems to be the hotter the PC gets, the longer it will run until a crash. * DxDiag showed no problems with anything as I posted above. *Eventviewer does not show any critical or error events around the times of lockups *only differences between my friend's house where it works and my house where it does not are the ethernet cable, houses power and the environment itself. *tested PC without internet connection, still locked up. *Ran 2 different virus and malware scans, nothing wrong in that department. This is all I know, What else can possibly be causing it to lockup? anything. Throw anything it can be at me, weird things, unorthadox things, things that are almost unheard of. I need this fixed, I have been without a fully functional PC for too long. Let's please solve this now. I'm gonna miss the steam sale. I cannot let Gaben down!

When I first built my pc around 2 months ago, it used to frequently (over 2 times a day) freeze, everything would stop in it's tracks, the mouse didn't move, ctrl alt del didn't work, any audio would linger there and turning off/on the monitor wouldn't help. Basically it was trapped in space time. I didn't bother to wait over 3 minutes so I would hard restart it without any BSOD. It used to happen frequently, then it died down after a month and now it's coming back. For the past half a week it's been doing this again and again. What's annoying is that while I'm writing an essay on word or something, I go to have a break and watch a youtube vid or something, and it freezes while I'm doing it, and when I come back, some of my stuff is gone even though it autosaved. Today, after having it happen the third time, I waited 20+ minutes to see if I would get any BSOD, but nothing, so I restarted it. I haven't been able to see what happens in task manager because I don't know when it'll happen.

Should I RMA it or something? Just a sidenote. I also sometimes (rarely) get a BSOD with dpc_watchdog_violation, but the suggestions that say I should update my ssd firmware is bull because the mx100 doesn't have any firmware updates yet. There seems to be a lot wrong with my build lol
