Computer Freezing

[mjsaulsberry]

hello my name is Matt and i just built a PC but i have been having problems with it can any one help?

Every time I watch youtube or play video games my computer freezes and makes a weird noise i don't know what to do. I have a msi a88x-g45 with an A-10 7700k and a xfx r7 260x with a evga 600b psu powering it all. Thanks for the help, Matt

Hi matt, what are your cpu/gpu temperatures on load and idle? Can you pin-point where the weird noise is coming from?

What do you mean it freezes? Blue screen or does it just lock up and need to be reset? Are your video card connectors plugged all the way in? How about overclocks, did you do anything of that sort?

 No blue screen just locks up and needs a reset. No OC. The noise isnt from hte hard ware but when it freezes it have a "errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" kind of noise

I've had this problem before, it's most likely a software issue, what I did was that i reformatted my drive and reinstalled windows, (thats what I do with all of my computer problems to rule out software issues)

I have updated all of the drivers and reinstalled windows but it is still doing it

Hallo Matt.

what ram are you using? have you catch your latency?

sometimes mobo's can have some problems, with reading what the manufacture have set as standard, (and just sets it as high as CL11 etc.)

which could cause blue scream, lock up or lag.

and hey what are your temps, when it happens?

i am using kingston hyperx blu 1333mhz with a latency of 9. my temps are cpu 62 c and gpu 76 c
