    Is this leaking electrolyte? -PC randomly freezes or restarts-

    I solved the problem. Simply returned the motherboard in exchange for an external HDD drive and bought Asus Gryphon Z87 in an ebay-like site. No more reboots when receiving a call.

    A Question to all Haswell/Gigabyte users

    I would ask for a replacement but since I told Gigabyte that I found the problem, they haven't answered any more emails from me. this lousy company, I'm gonna go with Asus, which have never failed me. The only two Gigabyte motherboards I bought on my entire life were a pile of crap. I think I'm...

    Is this leaking electrolyte? -PC randomly freezes or restarts-

    I checked with nothing but the power cord connected, it froze again...This is driving me nuts. Postdata: remember that this is not only happening to me, there are more people affected...with different psus and computer cases also. For me it is either gigabyte or intel the one with the problem...

    A Question to all Haswell/Gigabyte users

    I have a brand new psu that I bought because I thought the old one was dying, so psu is discarded. I already unmounted and mounted everything on the case twice, so I doubt something is grounding on the motherboard. ;aybe I missed something so I will check again. Faulty motherboard...I don't...

    A Question to all Haswell/Gigabyte users

    Hi guys, I started a thread about a month ago, because my pc was randomly freezing and rebooting and I couldn't find the problem. I know it has something to do with EMI, because whenever my cell phone rings near the pc case, it causes the computer to crash. You can find the thread here: Link...

    Is this leaking electrolyte? -PC randomly freezes or restarts-

    The front cover is mounted on plastic, but I believe most cases are built this way. About unplugging non-essential peripherals, I tried plugging in the monitor and keyboard only and finished with the same result, video flickers and the pc freezes then shuts down or reboots. If the problem is...

    Is this leaking electrolyte? -PC randomly freezes or restarts-

    This is making me mad...yesterday I went to a lan party and my computer froze twice...I couldn't tell the guys to stop using their cellphones, it's their right to do it. I contacted gigabyte to see what they can do and I'm also contacting Intel to ask if they know anything about this issue. I...

    Is this leaking electrolyte? -PC randomly freezes or restarts-

    Guys, I have news. Yesterday I went to the local store to RMA my video card (it suddenly died) and the owner told me that he sold another two haswell cpus with gigabyte motherboards that also experienced random freezes. One of the clients claimed that when her cellphone was near the cpu case it...

    Is this leaking electrolyte? -PC randomly freezes or restarts-

    I swapped gpus with my friend and my pc also hung up while running with his gpu. I tried using onboard video but also crashed. So today I used my pc in the morning to read the newspaper and such, then I went out, when I came back I tried to watch a video on youtube and the screen started going...

    Is this leaking electrolyte? -PC randomly freezes or restarts-

    I'm thinking that maybe I don't wan't to worry trying to solve this issue related to the GPU. I'll just put it on my friend's rig and if it freezes/reboots I'm gonna rma the hell out of it.

    Is this leaking electrolyte? -PC randomly freezes or restarts-

    Nope, not working...it steel freezes/reboots randomly. One of the times the screen went blank with black diagonal lines and an annoying sound loop coming from the speakers. I've been doing some research and it seems that 7870's are known for this kind of bug, so I'm about to start tweaking the...
