Can't find the defective component...

[staubgame]

Ah dearest LTT Forum, maybe you know this one.

 

I have a desktop pc here, 5 years old, specs are: i5-2500k, Asus P5P67 LE, 8Gb Crucial DDR 3 RAM, 500Gb SSD, GTX 630 GPU, 2 DVD Drives for copying.

 

A few days ago the pc started crashing with bluescreens, errorcode suggesting RAM failure. I swapped the RAM and I worked fine again, for a week.

 

The new problem now is, that after a random, yet usually not long time (only a few minutes) the PC starts to slow down tremendously, stops opening folders (as if you connect a faulty USB drive the PC can't access) and then kinda stops there. Mouse still moves normally, I can sometimes open the file explorer but the window stays white (doesn't show any drives or folders). When I have the task manager open, the explorer.exe stopped responding at this point.

If I press ctrl-alt-del to open tast manager, the screen goes black after 1-2 minutes and then some time later it shows the error "Fehler beim Anzeigen der Anmelde- und Herunterfahroptionen" (Error while showing sign-in or shut-down options)

Wasn't able to find the specific error in english, this only translated. Sorry

 

DOS based hardware tests passed everything but a stress test, memtest crashed a few times but also ran fine some other times.

I tried unplugging all unneccessary stuff (USB Printer and all that), new HDD (cloned windows via norton ghost), new RAM, different RAM slots, only 1 RAM module.

While I'm writing this I'm installing a new windows copy to my test HDD. (still going on)

 

Maybe you guys can help

You can check the condition of your SSD with CrystalDiskInfo.

Download the portable standard edition. It doesn't need to be installed; you just extract the files from the zip and run the program.

 

At the top left of CrystalDiskInfo it will show a health percentage for your SSD. You can take a screenshot and paste it in your next reply.

Whelp been a few days, personal problems keeping me busy.

 

Anyhow, I've been testing randomly all stuff, new HDD/SSD new Windows install but the error keeps coming back. Since I am pretty much out of options now I can say it's either CPU or motherboard, and given my experience in field and with Asus I say it's the MB.

But thanks you for chiping in
