New PC has random freezes.

[Lance483]

Hopefully right place to post, not going to be short so bear with me please.

I built a new PC not too long ago, ran into some problems that got fixed:

1. Flashed bios, it changed boot order, I fixed it.
2. Had several bluescreens, fixed by updating drivers.
3. Overclocked GPU using MSI Afterburner, removing the clock did not fix the problem

So my problem ever since has been random freezes, whatever I do, playing games, watching youtube, listening to music, it freezes from time to time.
Basically it looks like picture freezes for half a second and sound doesn't just go quiet, it keeps on repeating the sound it was performing, for as long as it froze. For example if i was watching a video or playing a game where it said "techtips" and I had that freeze in the middle of it, it would look like - frozen screen for half a sec and "techt t t t tips".
Seems like a whole system gets those spikes at random times. 


I've been looking into that problem, done some digging and here's what I found/did.
I checked my reliability monitor and it was full of errors, most of those was LiveKernelEvent with a code 141. Something with hardware - I took out my ram, put it back in different slots, then moved both sticks back to where they originally were and since then, reliability monitor had no errors HOWEVER, those lags are still there, I even filmed while playing some games and while I'm gaming, there's that freeze and the sound that game was performing at that time was repeating for a sec as I described before. Here's a video(lag after I killed the cop):  https://streamable.com/vlh96

Basically what I learned is that those lag spikes had nothing to do with that windows kernel error. But what's the problem then? I'm kinda desperate at this point, so any info you need I'll reply as soon as I can.

TL;DR https://streamable.com/vlh96 system spikes like that, in games, videos, music and so on.

It may be CPU or mobo problem but also drivers problem. I saw this many times mostly on old motherboards. For example - I have many old parts so I made PC from them and that freezes was on old Intel motherboard while on Asus (which is in bad condition btw) everything works. Also one of my old GPU I used was not so good and replace it to different one solve all problems with freezes.

 

Good luck with finding what is wrong. You may start with drivers - at least they're free. I remember that, for example, old VIA chipsets are very sensitive about drivers and without proper ones they had micro freezes, but I assume that you have no VIA chipset (they're out of production for many years).

Drivers really could be the problem, as i mentioned before, I had some bluescreen problems and updating drivers fixed it. I have Driver Easy, but I think manually updating drivers is more reliable than the app. GPU should be fine, it's a new system, but GPU is the only thing I kept from my old system. Thanks for the reply though!
Just in case, I'll leave my specs here:
CPU: Ryzen 5 3600
GPU: GeForce GTX 1070
Mobo: MSI B450M Mortar Max
RAM: HyperX Predator RGB 3200 2x8

Good, I thought I posted in the wrong section

Another thing I found out, not sure if related, but I hear a loud static noise in my recordings, i can hear all the other sounds well, but that noise is pretty loud. 
If needed I could try to upload those.

EDIT: It was the mic connected. Still need a fix for the main problem though.
