custombuild Randomly freezing and restarting PC and extremely high Total Host Writes on HDD

[Matthhoss]

Hello, I built my PC in october 2020 with brand new parts and about a 2 weeks ago I upgraded CPU cooling from air to AIO and case from SilentiumPC to Phanteks P500A also brand new, I don't want to buy anything second handed. But last few days my PC randomly freezes and after few seconds it turns off and on, but not like restarting, fans, lights from fans and everything turns off and after few seconds it turns on. Today it happened 2 times when playing Phasmofobia with my friends. It did not happen in any other game.

 

And today I noticed extremely high Total Host Writes on HDD which I have in the system (see screenshot) but it works fine, I don't have any problems with it and it does not sound any strange. And second thing I noticed is that GLCKIO2 is causing some error, I saw that some malware can be hidden in it, but I'm not clicking on any  "You won iPhone 12 Pro" AD or any ads like this or random links. And I have official license on Eset Antivirus. 

 

I tried chkdsk on the HDD but no error or bad sectors were found

 

My system specs are:

 

Case: Phanteks P500A Digital

 

CPU: Intel Core i7-9700K (no OC)

 

CPU Cooler: Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360 Rev.3 (Fans connected separately through splitter)      Mounted on top of the case

 

MOBO: MSI MPG Z390 Gaming Pro Carbon

 

GPU: Gigabyte GTX 1660 Super Gaming OC (Only factory OC)

 

RAM: DDR4 2x8GB Gigabyte 2666 MHz CL16

 

Disks: Main SSD: Gigabyte 256GB NVMe

           Secondary SSD: Samsung 970 EVO 500GB (For games)

           HDD: Seagate BarraCuda 2TB 256MB CACHE 7200rpm (For games and random stuff) This is the disk with weird Total Host Writes

 

PSU: Gigabyte P550B

 

I have it on Battery backup APC Back-Ups 700, but I have it connected through this from the start and the problems started only recently.

CPU temps at max are 55°C in Cinebench R23 and GPU temps are at max 60°C in Heaven Benchmark.

 

I'm sorry if I forgot any info or if my english is bad..

 

 

Thank you in advance for any help.

Um, 1400 petabytes of writes? That sounds like a reporting error...... The fact that the difference between min and max is like 20TB, and this is a new drive? I'd contact seagate and be like "so my drive is showing 1400PB of writes, I think something isn't working." At 1400PB of writes, it should have like exploded.

I don't think that I have written 20TB, i was using laptop with all games on HDD for a 2 years and I only wrote about 17TB, even though I installed and uninstalled few really big games at least couple of times. (BF4 with all DLCs, FH4, GTA V and some other)

 

And for a year and 1 or 2 months I was using it only with HDD, then I bought the Samsung SSD and used it as system drive. Now I have it in PC and I deleted everything I was able to so it don't think that is the system drive and not the Gigabyte SSD and it looks like it's working perfectly, I had zero problems with the PC until now.

 

Well the only option that I was able to get from Seagate RMA is to send it to them as non working device and wait if they will send something to me.. And bcs it is working just maybe making some problems and it is wrongly reporting info, I'm not gonna send it to them and just risk getting it damaged while shipping.

 

One thing that I forgot to write...

 

 

I have the game Phasmophobia on the Samsung SSD, not on the HDD.

 

After I wrote here today I was playing GTA V Online, which I have on the HDD, with my friend few hours and everything was working perfectly.

 

 

And one more thing, I checked how it can be connected to the mobo when I have 2 NVMe and I have it connected properly.

Today I was watching youtube videos when I chcecked how is the Total Host Writes looking on the HDD and it is writing something pretty fast not gonna lie xD But could it be the problem which causes the PC to freeze and restart randomly? And it did not happen after I turned off Phasmophobia, at least until now.

 

 

And if you will watch the video in the attachment, the fan you can hear is from my brothers laptop, bcs he doesn't care about it till it's working and he can play games...
