PC freezes randomly

[Merusbard]

Hello everyone,

 

I hope you will be able to help me with an issue I have with one system. It freezes randomly...like very randomly lol. It is ok for like a month without a problem and then it's starts freezing every 2-10 minutes of use. Sometimes playing games, sometimes stress testing and sometimes when idling. I've run all kinds of testing like aida64, occt (CPU and PSU), memtest, furmark sometimes it was OK sometimes it froze. Almost everytime it freezes there is also a buzzing sound coming from the speakers. I start to wonder if this problem could be from the wirings in the house. I've tried diffrent power outlets but nothing changed and I don't plan to move the PC to another place to play a lottery if it's going to freeze when I'd be testing it elsewhere or not because of the randomness of this issue. Is there some way to test if the power delivery from the outlet is good enough to handle the PC? And if the power outlet cannot handle the system is there a way to sort this out without a need of new elektroinstallation in whole house?

Thanks for your replies.

Specs: 
MB: M5A97

CPU: FX-8320
GPU: R9 270x

RAM: ADATA XPG 1600Mhz 4x4GB

PSU: Fortron hyper 700

Its an older system with (most probably) an old installation of windows. I would clean-install windows. Freezing may be caused by a variety of issues.

I've made a clean installation of win 10 about 2 months ago on a new hadrive. So not just a new OS but also drivers etc. I've also tried to reinstall drivers and OS in the past with the old HDD. It had never changed a thing. In 90% it just freezes but sometimes I've get a BSOD saying "irql not less or equal" or "system thread exception not handled"

The first one is memory related. Try booting with 2 sticks of ram and check if the problem persists. Also switch up the slots if it does.

Back in the days when it was my main system I had only 2 sticks of ram and I've tried to run it with just one and no matter whichone I've used it was still freezing. I've tried different slots and no difference. I've run memtest with just one stick in the system and in one of many test I had like 30 errors on both of them. I've changed clocks and timings to the manifacture's values and it was ok then. I've tried to eliminate every hardware that could be responsible and I was pretty succesfull with that lol. Everything seems to be OK...CPU, GPU, RAM, HDD. I'm left with MB or as I was originally saying power delivery

If you have done everything else, it means it's a motherboard issue- as you said yourself.
