Hey, I have very similar problem, did you find a solution? @marik7410

Yeah I could try at another house. But I made another observation. Very weird one. Remember that I said mouse makes PSU coil whine when moved? That coil whine stops for 30 secs when I move files around in folders lol. What the hell does that mean?? Maybe ssd is somehow involved with this whole...

Just as I was checking hwmonitor, it froze again :). I could not find what you mentioned, (12V and 5V lines). All the voltage measures where 2V or lower than that, on every component (MBO, CPU, GPU etc). About electrics being up to date, they should be. I haven't had any similar issues with...

I don't know if it is grounded, but I never had any similar problems with any other tech, so it should be? Is there a way to find out? I don't have testers though. BIOS is up to date.

Hello, ever since I built my new pc (it's been a couple of weeks) it deadlocks randomly. When that happens, nothing is responding and I have to hold the power button to restart. My parts are: CPU - intel i5-12400f GPU - AMD RX 6600 MBO - Gigabyte b660m gaming x ax ddr4 RAM - Teamgroup tforce...

OK, I have bad news. The freezes have returned. It happens the same way as it did before, but now it's more rare. Some observations that I have made: PSU has quite an audible coil whine. It gets worse whenever I move or drag my mouse. When pc freezes, coil whine becomes quieter, mouse...

So I want to give an update. The PSU power cable that I was using was off brand one because I have EU plug and my PSU came with US plug, so I went and bought EU power cable and that's what I've been using this whole time. I realized that the off brand cable might be suspect when I was...

Understood. I will update you when appropriate. Thanks again!

Is it necessary to take out ssd? If it boots of the usd, maybe ssd can be left in? In case of failed test, could we still rule out the ssd if it's left in?

Ok, now I understand that it will at least rule out the drive, so that's good. I will research how to run the test and will update you. Thanks again!

Thanks for comprehensive answer. I don't understand how running memtest would narrow down our suspects. Can the test run without the drive? Or without gpu? As i dont have another drive available right now (could borrow from friend in the future). Let's say I run the test and it freezes as...

one more thing, in m.2 slot there appears to be an led and it is flashing red on the motherboard. Could this mean that something is wrong? It has been like this since I built it and I couldn't find any information in the manual.

Here's the update. I upgraded to win11, still deadlocking. So i went and got win10 installation media and clean installed win10, formatted ssd too. Before that, i opened the case, reseated the ram sticks, made sure everything was plugged in and cooler screws were balanced. However, bad news...

Yes, even without chrome

Sadly I don't have another drive to switch the ssd. And btw, just had another freeze moments ago. I will update to windows 11. If this issue persists I will reinstall everything from scratch.
