Posted December 17, 2015 So guys, sometimes when I open something like msi afterburner or uTorrent or whatever my screen freezes for no more than 1 or 2 seconds and i hear a fan speed up loudly for a second and then the pc "unfreezes" ! Now this happens quick .. the freeze is for no more than a second long and than its all back to normal ! Also it doesn't happen like everytime i open something .. its pretty rare .. like once every 2 days or something like that! Its really strange ..Also happenes when I leave my PC on without using it for a while and then the first time i open something that happens .. but again .. not always.. sometimes! pls experts .. help ;/ Thanks everyone Link to comment https://linustechtips.com/topic/506963-screen-freezes-and-i-hear-a-fan-speed-up-fast-for-a-second/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 17, 2015 probably just CPU usage spiking for a second from opening a program this could be caused by your windows installation being old, which you can fix by doing a clean install or it could be one of your drives failing, which you can check with crystaldiskinto NEW PC build: Blank Heaven minimalist white and black PC Old S340 build log "White Heaven" The "LIGHTCANON" flashlight build log Project AntiRoll (prototype) Custom speaker project Spoiler Ryzen 3950X | AMD Vega Frontier Edition | ASUS X570 Pro WS | Corsair Vengeance LPX 64GB | NZXT H500 | Seasonic Prime Fanless TX-700 | Custom loop | Coolermaster SK630 White | Logitech MX Master 2S | Samsung 980 Pro 1TB + 970 Pro 512GB | Samsung 58" 4k TV | Scarlett 2i4 | 2x AT2020 Link to comment https://linustechtips.com/topic/506963-screen-freezes-and-i-hear-a-fan-speed-up-fast-for-a-second/#findComment-6766163 Share on other sites More sharing options...
