Haunted Fuck..g Hardware.

specs in my profile description

 

So uh, read my explaination carefully, it's haunted hardware so it's complicated.

 

After a few months of working perfectly fine, it happens that my desktop suddenly decide to freeze out of nowhere with a loud buzzing noise, the only way to restart it is to force reboot. The first time it started doing that, i had a hard time fixing it, i would keep trying different stuff but nothing seemed to work and it would just continue doing it every once in a while (1-2 times per hour).

 

The way i fixed it and made my desktop go on for another 1-2 months running fine was by reseating my graphics card, reseating my ram, removing cmos battery, holding power button for a minute, put everything back in place and start the computer. after i done that, it worked well for the last 2 months, now it just restarted crashing. (nothing new installed or anything, did'nt touch drivers, only got updates from windows.

 

I repeated all the steps i took last time, i have yet to see if it's alright or if it will crash again. but for some reason, 5 mins ago my google chrome icon on the taskbar was'nt working, it popped an error message saying the emplacement is invalid, do i wish to remove it. so i do just that and go back into the start menu to find chrome, which is still installed by the way. i put a new taskbar icon, open chrome, and my passwords are not saved anymore, i have to retype everything. what do you guys think of that?

It's not haunted. It's defective.

why would it suddenly decide to be defective then fine for 2 months, and then defective, and then alright for 2 more months? intermitent defectiveness? it's either defective or it's not...  right?

Sometimes parts behave in odd ways with no straight answer. It's not haunted. It's more to do with intermittent defectiveness.

Have you tried to do a clean install of Windows?  If it was an iMac machine I would say it was part of Apples Planned Obsolcense program.  Sorry about the spelling of that word Obsolete.  I don't use that word often enough to know how to spell it right.

i did a full pc reset from the OS included option to do so, did'nt get an usb version or anything.

I would do a complete reinstall/setup of the OS using a Windows Media Creation tool.  An 8 gig flash drive will be more than enough to handle the job.  Just make sure you have backup copies of all your important files/documents/videos.
