[Problem] Hardware Problem, Computer Freezes

mig4ng · 10-19-2013, 05:43 AM

Hello, I've this 2 months old build:

CPU Intel Core i5-4570 3.2GHz 6MB Sk1150
MB Asrock Fatal1ty H87
RAM Gskill Sniper DDR3-1600MHz 2x4GB
SSD Samsung 840 120GB
HDD Seagate Barracuda 1TB SATA III 64MB
GPU MSI GTX670 OC 2GB
PSU XFX 650W XXX Edition Bronze
CASE FRACTAL DESIGN Gehäuse Arc R2 Midi Tower

Well I'm having a little bit of trouble, I'm the one who built the computer and since the very first day I keep getting the same problem.
My computer after ruining for a while completely freezes and the sound also freezes on the instant it was playing making a awful buzzing noise. It completely crashes I need to reset it from the button. Well this does not happen for temperatures, I've already tested that.
I think probably the SSD or MB or PSU or GPU are broken, I have total warranty for all of them, I just need to know if someone already seen something similar. This is kind of annoying and disturbing to me.

Here are some tests and important informations about the system:

Spoiler:

I really hope any of you can help me with this one :S
Thank you guys for reading Wink

Look at those temps, omg. I'm shocked that nothing has melted in your build.

Temps of 80ºC on those tests are completly normal, I was pushing the temps to the max to check if the computer was crashing cause of temperatures, and it isn't...

Ah, you must be clueless, funny story, chances are the temps on your box go above that : )). As for me, anything out of 72 C is out of my comfort zone >.>

Anyways, I'm too tired to read everything you posted, " My computer after ruining for a while completely freezes and the sound also freezes on the instant it was playing making a awful buzzing noise. It completely crashes I need to reset it from the button. Well this does not happen for temperatures, I've already tested that." Can you try to figure out what the temps are right before it shuts down? Also, if you have made any new changes, give resetting the bios a try, a hard reset, take out the battery on the mobo, wait 20s, put it back in, wait til the whole system cools down, start it up. Just monitor any weird trends, I'm sure you can get this sorted yourself. Also...stop using that attrocious font, it doesn't make you anymore "HQ".

Event ID 41 errors are primarily caused by:
- shutting down the system by holding the power button down
- overheating
- power supply issues

If I was you, I would check first the thermal paste on the CPU. If you are sure that this is not the problem, try finding another PSU, and connecting it to the pc (if you have some hard-core gaming rig, and don't have another high-watt psu, just take out some of the RAM, and maybe GPU. Then try running it )

Eventually, you can try booting up Linux LiveCD/USB. I have read that the issue is mostly common on windows 7 & 8, but looking at the specifications of your rig, I would believe that installing Linux is rather bad solution (you'e gaming, right?)

Yes I'm a gamer, and kind of waiting for SteamOS because I'm a gamer, yet I love linux...
I'll try out changing the CPU thermal paste and try it out again, if it doesn't work I'll try to ask for my friends PSU and try it out...
Thanks for your suggestions Wink

The problem now is a bit different but I think it can say more about the problem, now the pc freezes while playing LoL or playing videos on youtube, but the radio I'm listening keeps play with the frozen screen...

Clueless about what's causing this...

1.When you open hd pictures is it loads slow?
2.Dont use furmark if you are not tech person you can burn your gpu
3.Did you searched hardware compatibility like "my mother board can run 2500 ghz rams"

It sounds to me, (I'm no pro), that you have bad sectors in the hard drive. Before going to the extreme's of messing with components. Test the Hard drive for bad sectors. You can do this with a Check disk scan. Via Command Prompt. Just type "chkdsk (Drive letter)". Then if it doesn't find anything. Check for Registry errors. You can use a program such as CCleaner. (My personal choice), and make sure there's not any bad Registry keys on Windows. Then if you can rule that out. Do a Memory test on the ram. If you can rule all that out. Check to make sure all your Drivers are up to date, and that None of them are corrupted. Corrupted GFX drivers can cause the issue you're describing. If that doesn't work. Get a volt meter and test each individual component to make sure the component is running at max speed and working properly. If None of that works.

1- went to http://www.freedomwallpaper.com/wallpapers.php the images took from 1 to 4 secs to load each time I clicked them to open hd...
2- Didn't know, yet the GPU has full Warranty so if it burns I get a replacement...
3- I didn't... I asked for suggestions on builds on a forum and they made me this build, more than 5 experienced users agreed with this one (except for the PSU, that was my choice but I asked a friend who's also good with builds...)

I did check the disk, no bad sectors...

Also did run MemTest for 10h last week, no errors displayed
