Computer keeps freezing. No blue screen!

[danforz]

All,

 

My computer freezes more often than I'd like almost immediately after start up. I don't get a blue screen, just a locked screen with no mouse movement or keyboard response. 

 

I have a fairly high-end system, with specs that I understand to be compatible. Drivers are regularly updated. Bios is updated. 

 

- 8700

- Asus Maximus X HERO

- G.Skill Triden RGB Ram

- 1080TI

- Corsair RM1000x

 

I have a relatively mild overclock of 4.5ghz. Temps are all fine. 

Troubleshooting

I think the first thing to do is figure out why the system keeps crashing. Is there a log somewhere I can look at to figure out what is happening?

Reliability Monitor might help. Search for it in the Start Menu.

It lists updates, crashes and anything that might affect system reliability.

yea, reliability history and if that fails to turn up anything, you need to dig through event viewer which is full of errors you can ignore so it makes it harder to find what you're looking for.

 

Have you stressed that overclock for a decent amount of time with something like Aida64 though?

I've had overclocks that looked stable after 8 hours fail after 24 so never be too confident in that.

First things first, remove your overclock (reset BIOS) and see how that goes.
