So, following are the steps where the freeze happens: PROMINENT FREEZE ISSUE SCENARIO 1: 1) Start any movie on Amazon Prime video, Netflix. 2) After some-while, it will keep on indefinitely buffering. 3) I checked internet, and its not related to internet. 4) Now, Reload the page, If you are lucky then it will start playing , after some time randomly same issue. 5) If you are not lucky, well the system freezes. 6) Ctrl+Alt+Del , after lagging -> Restart -> Takes Ages to restart. (Stuck at restarting loading screen... ) 7) Note : In this situation, when i tried to Ctrl+Alt+Del -> Task Manager -> CPU : 5% utilization RAM : 13% utilization GPU : 2% utilization 8) After restart, repeat from step 1 again and same thing happens. GAMING FREEZE ISSUE SCENARIO 2: 1) Start moderate CPU consuming application (any). 2) Start a fancy game, for this i have tested - Witcher 3: next gen update till date - Cyberpunk with latest update till date - Rise of tomb Raider etc ... 3) Games starts fine, now go to settings, change any option related to video graphics. 4) System freezes out, i can hear the background sound of the game. 5) The RAM RGB in second slot goes "RED" while RAM RGB on Slot 4th is fine. (I have 2 x 16 GB KIT) 6) Removed the RAM which showed "RED" RGB and kept away from my rig. 7) Booted the system with other RAM, still same issue. 8) Note : If i don't keep any CPU consuming application / software in background then above mentioned fancy games works just fine. 9) Note : When i tried to Ctrl+Alt+Del -> Task Manager -> CPU : 34% utilization RAM : 60% utilization GPU : 98% utilization THINGS I HAVE DONE UNTIL NOW: 1) UPDATED TO NEW BIOS 2) REINSTALLED WINDOWS 10 3) REINSTALLED NVIDIA GPU DRIVERS 4) REINSTALLED DEFAULT AMD RADEON DRIVERS 5) CLEANED RAM STICKS CONTACT POINTS 6) REMOVED CPU AND PLUGGED IN AGAIN 7) I DON'T SEE ANY DAMAGE TO MOTHERBOARD OR CPU 8) EVERYTHING IS AS STOCK DEFAULT. NO EXPO .

Hi all, I tried raising the issue on Twitter but seems like no one from Google cares about a random tweet so anyway.. Here is the issue, The screen just freezes/hangs We cannot open new apps or switch apps but in the background/running apps send notifications and work but the screen is unresponsive and stuck The way to reproduce the issue 1) Zoom or Any other app that allows picture-in-picture or display over apps as allowed now minimise Zoom or any other apps could be even Disney Hotstar etc your video/ call will be playing and running in the background 2) Now open any other app say 9gag, Google Photos, or Microsoft Teams say a video or gif is playing and boom the screen freezes when you try to maximise Zoom or Disney Hotstar etc You can still listen to the audio call or listen to the movie playing but the screen is hung/stuck Waiting for 10 minutes has no effect, the only solution seems to reboot the device after holding the power button for 30 seconds. This issue seems to be PIxel specific cause my old One Plus 6 does not have the same issue

So this started happening yesterday after my pc randomly froze I yanked out the power cord in frustration and now every time I start my computer it just freezes under a minute or two and stays frozen forever this is getting really frustrating. I booted into safe mode and it works fine but when I switch back it freezes again. Does anybody know what is happening here?

Hello Guys, I just assembled a new computer. Computer Specs : AMD 5600G Asus TUF GAMING A520M-PLUS Corsair 8GB X 2 DDR4 3200MHZ Corsair VS450 WD 1TB SSD LG 32inch 4K Monitor AMD Stock Cooler Windows 11 Problem 1 - Sometimes the Screen Image just enlarges(Zooms in - Things on screen get a little bigger than usual) for 5seconds and then back to normal. Problem 2 - Sometimes it hangs and i have to restart the computer. I have to tell you that many times my computer is ON for 2-3days straight,I don't switch it off.But sometimes these problems happen even if it is on for 5-6hours. Please suggest a solution. Thankyou. Faustian Empire.

I have a Maximus VI Hero and wanted to upgrade my HDD. I also wanted to have a future proof product so i said why not, lets buy a m.2 ssd. The only problem is that my current motherboard has not a m.2 slot, so i used a asus pci to m.2 adapter and modded my bios to use it as a boot drive. I have it along with my r270x amd graphics card. When using chrome or watching videos it used to crash regularly when using windows 10 even when i had the hdd boot drive. I cheched my drivers, did a mem86 test and found that a stick of ram is causing problems. I used the other one for 24 hours on mem86 and passed. Still the issue ensued. I installed ubuntu to see if it was a windows problem but i can still hang my pc when gaming in ubuntu. Usually at intense games. How do i approach my troubleshooting? Does my problem lie to the fact that i use all my pci x16 lanes between my boot drive and my graphics card? That would not explaing the pc hangs i haid while on hdd. Is it just a faulty amd graphics card? Taking off my Graphics card?

Hey so recently my intel laptop has been freezing all of a sudden. It started 2-3 days ago out of nowhere. It freezes for a few minutes every 30-60 min. Ive searched on the internet but nothing seems to help, i really need help, its really annoying. The only way to fix it is by restarting the laptop. I don't know what the problem is.

But after few days I thought to keep the PC under sleep or not shut down after playing Witcher 3. Then power cut occured after that moment when I booted the PC *BOOM* it's so slow all of a sudden I have never seen something like this before! even the keyboard caps lock light is lit after 7-8 seconds of pressing the caps lock button (same with mouse or any other thing). Mostly the slowing down starts after in windows loading screen the loading cursor rotates 5-6 times. PFA for video. Now whenever it runs after like 100s of times of rebooting it (expecting it would come up with the log in screen i.e run normally without slow), sometimes it would run normally (5% of the times of rebooting) then I am always afraid of not shutting it down or keep it under sleep mode, cause once it's under sleep or shut down then it will slow again!! so I play all games and enjoy as much cause I know it's gonna get slowed down again (after a shutdown or auto sleep etc). This slowing down is going on since nearly one year. I have done nothing about it I didn't call any local experts because it runs normally 5% of the time. During slow boot, I could barely reach log-in the screen. I have tried so many methods to troubleshoot like sfc scannow , dsim etc and few messing with the settings like device manager, control power power options etc, I have also contacted the microsoft support the person told me it could be a harddrive problem. None of them worked. I am only lucky if the PC runs normally all of a sudden after trying to reboot it for 30-40 times i.e once in 30-40 reboots rest of the reboot goes like all slow just in the attached video. Any solutions? Please help me. SlowPC_20210517_153343069.mp4

Hi, I have tplink TL WR840N router. Nearly after every hour or so my router gets hannged/lagged and the it becomes unresponsive. The pings to the router my devices get spiked upto 600 to 1000ms and packet loss becomes 100%. I couldn't understand why this happens i ahve check these things: No heatup issue No other devices connected No application or software is using the bandwidth Even without an Internet connection it does that. What could be the problem and what can i do to resolve this issue. Thanks in advance.

Right, so straight into context. I've a Ryzen 1st Gen Build, which has been fine since it was built in early 2019, but has suddenly started throwing issues by locking up (screen freezing, and not responding to shutdown requests). For example, netflix may be running and the picture will freeze, then I go to open task manager, it will leave the context menu item for task manager on the screen, and load it, but shortly after will stop responding. Task manager will sometimes show the utilization of the GPU as either -1% (Yes negative ONE) or 100%. I've changed the RAM, Memtested, GPU and Checked the motherboard for any bad caps. There has also been a BIOS downgrade and a Graphics driver downgrade (DDU then installed) to stable versions to eliminate issues there. My next port of call was to be a CPU swap to a Ryzen 5 3600 to see if it is a CPU issue, then a Motherboard swap and finally a PSU swap, going procedurally through them all to find the culprit. Event Viewer shows only the standard errors (Unexpected shutdown Kernel-Power 41 etc) nothing sinister. Currently this is the parts list Ryzen 5 1600X (Stock Values) Asus x370 Prime-Pro MSI GTX 1080 8GB Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x8GB Running at 2400Mhz (XMP on) EVGA G2 750W CM MasterLiquid 120 AIO (CPU Cooling) 4x120mm Fans at 800-1200RPM. Internal Temps between 27 and 60c (Idle is CPU at 40 and GPU at 55) Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.

The Intel processor diagnostic tool is running smoothly and giving a test result of pass until it came to the point of CPU Load test and then it just freezes. Does this mean the cpu is failing? I have been experiencing freezing mid game plays for games that should run without a hick-up on my configuration . Any advise would be much appreciated. Thank you.

I built a gaming desktop 3 weeks ago which contains some Mid - High end parts but my desktop is still unable to run Google chrome without issue .

Hey guys, I'm hoping someone can help me because I'm pretty stumped on this issue. I've done a fresh install of windows 10 x64 pro on my corsair XT neutron SSD card, it installed fine, and works fine on the onboard gpu. However, once I try to install my nvidia evga 980 TI that is where the problems start. I install the card, and upon starting the machine, the spinning circle just stops about a quarter way and hangs indefinately. Ok, so I'm thinking its a driver issue, need to install the driver first right? Well, can't do that because once I try, it goes through the whole install and then tells me it cannot locate the product on the machine. I have minimum devices plugged in as far as usb devices go, keyboard and mouse. I don't know what to do next, but any help or fix would be appreciated. p.s. The 980 TI works perfectly fine on my other hard drive that has Windows 7 x64 Pro. Build: Asus Maximus Formula V Intel 3570K @ 4.6ghz GSKill 16gb @ 2133mhz Corsair Neutron XT 480gb SSD Evga 980 TI SoundBlaster Z 5.1 sound card CM Seidon AIO push/pull CM 850 Watt Gold Semi-Modular PSU

Running two r9 270s in crossfire 16x + 4x (PCI-E 2.0). Windows 10 completely hangs a minute in to any DirectX game. OpenGL games fun fine. I've tried Windows 7 and a fresh install of 10. Games run perfectly on Windows 7.

Not sure how many people have experienced this issue, and googling has produced results that are not helpful... Every so often Windows 10 will hang on me, persisting for several minutes at a time or longer. This happens most often when windows updates are (attempting) to install, but recently it has been happening randomly when the system is idle. Previously I got around the issue by manually installing updates, however it has returned. System specs: i7-4790K stock clock 16GB Ram Gigabyte Z97X-Gaming 3 Motherboard 120GB Samsung 840EVO SSD 1TB WD HDD Asus Strix GTX970 2 1080p monitors and a third 1440*900 When the computer hangs, all open widows, being chrome, skype, explorer, will still play sound, but they will not update on screen (video still playing, but frozen image), however the mouse will still move between all monitors, once the buffer is used the audio stops. I created an event view to see what was happening and most of the hangs are related to windows security auditing, event id 4797. This is then followed by a windows hang report for explorer.exe, before the system recovers and work normally again. I have already disabled cortana, apps are installed on the ssd (though I have none), and it generally happens just as system pins ssd usage to 100%. If anyone has any ideas it would be great, thanks.

I bought an Asus K401UQ-FA075T and there are a few problems that i have been having recently. This does not happen all the time but it still does happen rather frequently. Firstly, whenever I boot up the laptop, I click on the log screen to enter my password, there is nothing on my screen except my lock screen background. It doesn't even show the power options, my username, or the box to enter my password. Secondly, sometimes when I power on my laptop and there is the Asus logo with the spinning wheel, the screen seems to lag and i can see the logo disappearing frame by frame. After that, the screen becomes blank and I cannot do anything but force it to shut down. Lastly, the apps take as long as a 5400rpm HDD to start up even though this laptop has an SSD! Please tell me what to do now. It annoys me when i have to keep forcing my laptop to shut off then turn it on again. The strange thing is, everything is fine after restarting it. Normally while using the laptop, it doesn't show any signs of lag under normal usage. This laptop is still under warranty. Please advice me on what to do. My specs CPU: Intel Core i7-7500U RAM: 12GB DDR4 SSD: SanDisk X400 512GB GPU: Nvidia GeForce 940MX (Sucks at gaming)

Just want to ask something here, does anyone with Ryzen 9 3900X had a sudden crash? It happened when you're just browsing the internet, or watching YT, and it just hung up and no BSOD just black screen and reboot it self. I just don't get it, I've tried everything, restore all setting to default, clean install Windows 10, update to latest BIOS, I don't know when it started crash like this, but bought this CPU about a month ago, and it used to work normally

Disclaimer, as there was some confusion; When I say SoC IF here, I'm referring to the SoC IF inside the dedicated vega cards, there's nothing ryzen-specific here unless I mention otherwise. It's a hardware bug that usually occurs when multiple displays are used, usually results in a perma-hang and needs a full-discharge power-down to be reset. The cause of which is due to a design fault in that the IF SoC (of which connects everything together like a star network) is only fed power via the variable core rail, of which dips well below the spec of what the IF should be run at, and thus runs terribly unstable when multiple displays are connected, or a dodgy PSU is used in some cases. If the IF dies, everything dies, including the CPU's PCIe root complex in most cases. This is the primary reason why the new VII features a dedicated SoC rail and controller, as keeping the SoC running stable is vital for the whole system. AM4 vega doesn't have the fault for the same reason. So with the fault becoming more and more frequent in the wild (ie; more and more people are coming in from FB, discord, etc having the fault), how much of you here are actually aware of it? (if you use a dedicated vega card, please list the model, cooling and monitors/receivers/etc you attach to it, it helps us make a list of common triggers) If you experience the fault, please give us your hardware info in the AMD dev forum post; https://community.amd.com/message/2900536?commentID=2900536#comment-2900536 Please note that this is not directly related to the heavy-load power-offs or black-screens as a result of using a dodgy (often 80 silver and lower) PSU, nor is it completely related to temporary black-screens from using bad display cables, although the later can sometimes affect how common the fault can occur.

Ok, so my PC is freezing randomly with annoying sound, and if the sound level is high then it is like fuck my ears with that buzzing sound! I don't know what is wrong? I tried reinstalling Windows! PLEASE HELP ME

[Current Specs] Asrock B450M Pro4 Ryzen 5 3600 2x8GB CORSAIR Vengeance LPX 3000MHz GT 710 [soon to be upgraded] SanDisk SSD Plus 240GB WD Blue 1TB Cooler Master N200 EVGA Bronze 650W BQ Hey there, I just got these parts together for a build, but I'm having issues getting it to boot. Currently it spins up fans, loads the BIOS logo with the hotkeys in the right-hand corner, then, no matter what you do, it moves to a black screen and hangs. There was only one time I got it to work, to which it booted to the BIOS setup, and nothing had changed from a previous unsuccessful run, and when rebooted in the same state ended up hanging just like normal. I've tried: Re-plugging RAM [no change] Swapping graphics for a GTX 1080 [no change] Unplugging everything except for GPU, GPU power, case and CPU fans, and power [no change] Unplugging GPU and using the motherboard HDMI [nothing showed at all] Using a single DIMM of RAM, trying each stick in the specified "A2" slot for sick #1 [no change] There's no POST code, there's no beeping, there's no indication anything is actually wrong except for the fact that nothing is actually happening. The board's box, though I'm sure it doesn't really mean anything, does specify that it is Ryzen 3000 ready, but I can't check the BIOS version or even flash one as... nothing happens. I'm at a loss with this thing, I've tried almost everything save reseating the CPU itself. Not sure what the problem would even be at this point. Any ideas? I can send images, try pretty much anything you throw at me. Just want to have this working ASAP. Also for those curious no, this isn't a gaming setup, its goal was future-proofing and productivity, so I went with quality cheap storage, an mATX board and RAM at a good speed, alongside the multi-core of the Ryzen 5 3600. Planned on installing a GTX 970 that we have yet to pick up from Craigslist. However if there's anything we might want to swap out or improve I'm open for suggestions.

Hello, this is my first ever post on a forum like this, so please bear with me if i'm bad at this. I experience system hangs, my pc is unresponsive but reamins under power and frozen, it locks up, the audio turns into really loud static machine noise, or repeats the last thing heard infinitely, mouse and keyboard stops responding. Generally my PC seems to be underperforming when it is working, the only thing I did in the BIOS is set the correct RAM speeds, which my motherboard downclocked for some reason. I did everything correctly, using the default values that was given by Corsair. I tried the downclocked values as well, did not help. The pc seems a tad slow when for example opening a browser, my other weaker PC seems to react faster, but I could live with this. There seems to be no physical wear and tear on any hardware. At least I see none. To fix the freeze issue i have to reset the computer or shut it down via powerbutton, this results in work loss and ofc frustration. Current rig Info: (Bold ones are new ones) MOBO: B450 Tomahawk Max with latest BIOS version CPU: Ryzen 5 2600 CPU Cooler: Wraith Stealth for a month, Currently Gammax 400 with noctua nt - h1 paste GPU: Sapphire RX 590 Nitro+ with latest stable Radeon adrenaline driver RAM: Corsair Vengeance 2x8gb DDR4 3000MHZ CL16 1 SSD: 250 GB WD BLUE via Sata cable 2 HDD: 1TB WD BLUE and 500GB WD BLUE HDDs (latter was disconnected for now, I'm afraid of data loss) PSU Chieftec Force series 650W Bronze+ (MODEL NO: CPS-650S) 64 bit OS : Fresh Windows 10, with latest updates. Case: Cooler Master N300, with two case fans to keep everything cool. Recently I decided to upgrade different parts of my PC. I started from upgrading my graphics card from gtx 950(2gb) to Sapphire Rx 590 nitro+ (8gb) My problems began here with terribly inconsistent framerate values, dropping to around 39 from 60 in older games (even from 2003). I would understand if the older games were not supported by the current AMD drivers, but even newer games struggled to keep on a consistent rate and i began to see microstutters. I use vsync because I have a 60HZ 1080p monitor. I believed at this time that this could be because of a general bottleneck issue. So i decided it's time to update my CPU and MOBO I went with ryzen 5 2600 which i used with it's stock cooler for a month, then I switched to the gammax 400 cooler and MSI b450 tomahawk Max, with 2x8 Corsair DDR4 3000mhz. Framerates got a bit better. My system is powered by my chieftec force series PSU 650W bronze+. Now I never had similar problems as far as I recall, this PSU powered 2 different configs, that is why i'm reluctant to deduce that my PSU is the cause. (I believe it is unlikely that it goes bad the minute I install new parts.) My problem occurs randomly, sometimes I can go multiple hours even under considerable Gpu and Cpu load, sometimes it crashes with only an OS running and nothing else. Temperatures: MIN load 27-30 celsius on CPU and 35 on GPU, MAX load/sress load around 65 for CPU and 75 on GPU. The PSU is warm to the touch while stress testing but not even close to hot, it's airflow is guranteed. What I did to try to find what causes my problem: First of all I did a DDU driver cleaning, and reinstalled every driver, no positive change. Upgraded BIOS, no imrpovements. Then i tried to pinpoint the cause by benchmarking the PC. I used PassMark, 3DMark, AIDA64 HWMonitor etc. I measured temps, clock speeds, disk write speeds. Everything seemed to be in order. I did try my friend's rx 580 in my rig, and it had similar results although it did not crash IIRC, taking my suspicion away from the GPU at that time. I tried memtest x86, I did only 1 pass on the RAMs because I was in a hurry, but that pass came back perfect, I did not suspect the RAM in the first place. I had memory problems on a different rig 3-4 years ago, and it always returned with BSOD and not this weird crash, and i could immediately figure the problem out with a simple memtest. Picked it apart, bought my new cooler and installed it, temps went further down, still get system crash. Tried disconnecting my 500GB HDD which is the oldest, then tried disconnecting my other HDD, did not help. Reinstalled the OS multiple times. No improvements. Tried running only a Linux Mate OS from a flash drive, which crashed in 14 minutes. I used the Linux to check my Disk integrity(everything was mostly in order, i followed up on the values it returned, did not bring back any faulty values that would mean that any of the drives are dead. Again these drives worked perfectly before the upgrades, like the PSU). Given that i ran the PC without win 10 and drivers and it still died , I gave up hope that this is a software issue. I did check the DMP files, but again, if it was the OS or the driver which it referenced, it would not happen on Linux at all. We stress tested my PC with AIDA64 stability test with my friend, which crashed my PC a few times, but it sometimes went 35 minutes, sometimes it went on for more, like an hour, sometimes less. Games I tested with: Witcher 3, stuttery, but stable FPS. SW:Battlefront 2 on Ultra, was really awesome and stable at 60 fps until the latest Driver update, which made it stuttery again. Jedi academy 2003 Horribly inconsistent FPS can even drop to 35 from a 60 (I never had framerate problems in this game, neither did any of my friends with similar rigs). Jedi Fallen order, not the most PC optimised game, mostly stuttery but stable FPS sometimes. Unfortunately I cannot provide game footage at this time. I also noticed that after a longer period of running a more hardware demanding game, youtube videos seemed to be out of sync a tiny bit with it's audio, and seemed like it had low framerate... REALLY WEIRD. I found an oily/greasy substance on my hand which was not thermal paste after touching the motherboard a while ago, given that i don't use my PC in a kitchen, it is highly unlikely it is my fault it was there. Could it be that some hardware leaks something? Today I tried it again with the stability test, monitoring temps with my HWMonitor. I checked everything in that test, CPU tests, GPU tests, DISK tests, MEMORY tests. I was keeping an eye on HW monitor temps always when i did this, but today right before the dreaded System Hang crash which happened after around 30 minutes, I saw a reading of 204 Celsius Temp... just what the ****. I only noticed this temp once. Given that the RPM was fine, i have zero clue what the hell is going on anymore, if this reading is correct, the cpu would be beyond fried, and it would be smoky in the house. My pc can still turn on as of this moment. I did try my friend's rx 580 in my rig, and it had similar results My only takeaway: Maybe one of the peripheral hardwares is dead. Maybe the PSU is too weak? 650W should be fine for a combo like this, given that my friend runs his own rig with 550W with an rx 580 and ryzen 5 2600x. Maybe the PSU did die after 3 years of usage? Could be a motherboard failure? I have no ways to measure if my MOBO works fine, no multimeter for example. Capacitors seem to be fine but i'm not entirely sure on that... It could also be the GPU since, when i dont put higher loads on the GPU, my system seems to be running for longer times. Things I did NOT try: Other PSU, Rig without SSD connected, other SATA cables, because they seem to be in perfect condition and they are not old, Reverting back to my i5 4590 and try my video card again with that config (it is much work to reassamble that but maybe i will try in the future) Other mouse or keyboard (again the old config did not crash ever IIRC so i doubt its those pieces of hardware that worked perfectly before) Different power cable for PSU. If I had to guess it's my PSU/SSD/CPU/GPU/MOBO that can cause problems like mine. Help PLS! I'm sorry for the litany. I am by no means an expert, but I built several PC's in my life which lasted, I never encountered a problem like this before and i'm clueless. If you take the time to read this and provide any tips on what I should do, Thank you very much. P.S I did try reading around, but since every rig is different, and my case scenario is somewhat unique because of that 204 celsius temp i measured once, i decided for the first time in my life to actually ask for help on a forum.

I recently built a new budget gaming rig and I am sure I built it correctly as I was able to install Windows 10 64-bit and use the PC whenever it "permitted" to do so (for 2-3 hours at max before hanging/BSOD). The configuration is as follows:- AMD Ryzen 5 2400G Processor ASUS EX-A320M-GAMING Motherboard (Had updated BIOS to the most recent v5220 using ezFlash utility) 2X Corsair Vengeance 8GB RAM @2400Mhz Seagate Barracuda HDD 1TB (which was an RMA Replacement of my old HDD) Corsair VS550 PSU I also installed my old Gigabyte NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050Ti 4GB but since the PC was acting strange and rather slow I removed it. It ran well on my old PC and also performed better. So the issue I am facing is frequent BSODs (MEMORY_MANAGEMENT and IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL being the most common) and frequent hang-ups (the cursor vanishes and nothing works). I also got "n/a" in the Processor field of the DXDIAG utility (fixed after fresh installation of Windows 10, I guess). For almost a month, I have read thousands of posts on various forums to diagnose the root cause and nothing has helped so far:- 1) Tried Memtest86 to diagnose faulty RAM - v8 onwards used to freeze for me and often return with "UEFI Firmware could not start CPU" errors. v4.3.7 worked well and did not diagnose any problems for the 2-3 passes I ran multiple times. 2) Tried the "sfc /scannow" and DISM utilities and they reported no issues with the integrity of the OS. 3) Tried to update all drivers through the Device Manager for various devices and through Manufacturer's website for AMD components (Chipset and iGPU Drivers). 4) Tried tweaking power plans but to no avail. 5) Thoroughly scanned system for malware, although there were viruses installed through a dubious software once, they were all blocked by Windows Defender. I then did full system scans with Malwarebytes and Kaspersky (did not have them installed simultaneously and also removed them after they served their purpose) to make sure all threats were removed. Regardless, I also did a fresh install of Windows after that and the aforesaid problems still persist. 6) Used SeaTools to scan my HDD's health, it passed all tests. Interestingly, while I am at the BIOS window, I am unable to change the EZ Tuning Profile and also access quite a few "options". Although I am not into overclocking and tinkering with the BIOS, I found this strange. Also in the most recent attempt at a fresh install of Windows 10 through UEFI, I got a 0xc000005 error. I have no clue on what component I should send in for RMA and my idea of sending all new components can be counter-productive as I might end up replacing a perfectly working and new component with a refurbished one. Please advise, I will greatly appreciate any support here.

Guys.. I tried to load live CD.. But it got struck up here.! Everything got hanged up! Please help.. I'm dead already.. Please help.. Completely tensed

I have a motherboard b75-ms coupled with i5 - 3470 , with 8 gigs of ram. I bought a ssd and when i use it , it works but after some time it freezes. Like if iam running game and a teamspeak, first game freezes and everything is running , then teamspeak freezes and then after 5-10 secs mouse cursor also freeze. I replaced my ssd ,i thought it was a ssd problem . So i replaced it. But problem is still there. When i check in task manager seconds after freeze , it shows 100% disk usage on ssd. And it hangs permanently. I have b75-ms which has only sata 2 ports. I did everything disabled every pci link Power saver, but still problem is there. Therefore i came up asking for help. Please Help. Sorry for my English :) My question can sata 2 port alone at first cause ssd frreeze issue?

I have this problem, when PC just freezing up/hang on my old rig and new one. The only 2 parts left from old rig are PSU and GPU, everything else is brand new (since june 2020). There is no BSOD, there is no critical errors in the event viewer, only 1 which is kernel-power 41 from me having to do hard reboot. Freezes are pretty random, PC can freeze 2 times within two hours and then 2 or even 3 weeks of flawless work. Since i build this PC, this happened 14times. Most of the time when freezes are happening (IF not all), while me playing WoW. I don't really remember if this was happening without WoW running, not sure anymore. Screen just freezing, sound would continue for 5-10 seconds and stop aswell. I have been playing other games for hundreds and hundreds of hours without any freezes going on, games like BL3, PoE, DOOM, Wolf, Outer Worlds and so on, much much more demanding games than WoW. No, i don't have overheating issues. Bios updated. Windows updated. Ram checked for multiple hours in memtest86 and testmem5 @ anta777 extreme preset. No errors. CPU is at stock atm, in prime it can reach 85c ~, running without any bsods/errors. In gaming it usually 40-60c (depends on a game) with some spikes to 65c (like when loading something up). GPU is underlvolted to 0.95v at 1921mhz with 2 noctua fans instead of stock cooling. Fans set to 900-1000rpm, temp is up to 60c. No errors/driver crashes. As i mentioned before, only GPU and PSU is from my old rig. I can't really test PSU, but i'm using it for about 6years now +-. So yeah, i have tried many different troubleshooting stuff, but it's still happening. I'll try to get other PSU from a friend in a few days. I really hope its a somehow faulty PSU, which is messing up in low gaming load (like WoW). Any help appreciated.
