    Question Why does my computer keep locking up or restarting?

    Greetings, So, I finally figured out what the problem was it seems. Figured since you were all so helpful, i thought I would at least let you know. Turns out, it was a problem between the drivers on my GPU, and CAD, my work's house drawing program. Turns out that the drivers I had downloaded...

    Question Why does my computer keep locking up or restarting?

    I have tried with different cables, the new PSU came with a fresh set of cables which I am using now. I have tried re-seating the RAM, not a completely new set. I do still have the DDR3 ram from my other computer. I could probably swap them out and see if it helps. Will let you know :)

    Question Why does my computer keep locking up or restarting?

    yeah, I borrowed a really good one from a friend of mine, Nvidia 108 TI. Did it once again this morning. I've got an e-mail in to Asus, who created my Mother Board describing the problem, and all the steps I've already done to figure out how to fix it. Another friend of mine said it might be a...

    Question Why does my computer keep locking up or restarting?

    Well, Good news and bad news. I thought I had screwed up the wiring, i found a better schematic, and wired everything right, and i switched the PSU and all the cables to that, I thought maybe my bad wiring (to the motherboard, some of the wires to the tower functions specifically) were at fault...

    Question Why does my computer keep locking up or restarting?

    It's the exact same model, I thought it might be the PSU, so I contacted Corsair and they did a warranty replacement. It's the same everything, just a different part (thinking the old part was faulty, which it seems not to be.) I was just wondering if the fault could be in the lines from the...

    Question Why does my computer keep locking up or restarting?

    Well... I just changed out the power supply, (used the same wires that came with the first power supply to save some time.) but it just happened again within 40 minutes of switching the supply. Should I change out the wires too? The only thing I have left to think of (maybe) is getting a new...

    Question Why does my computer keep locking up or restarting?

    Hey guys, you all have been AMAZING< and I really really appreciate all your advice, help, and friendliness. I've contacted Corsair with a run down of my computer specs, and all the things I've done, and the issue, and they said it sounds like a PSU issue, so we are going to replace the power...

    Question Why does my computer keep locking up or restarting?

    Yeah, there's never been a BSOD. I used to have RAM problems with a laptop I had (First ever laptop, tried to play World of Warcraft... it did NOT like Ironforge... >.<) so would get BSODs all the time i tried to go there. Nothing like that, this will just either freeze screen, or restart...

    Question Why does my computer keep locking up or restarting?

    Maybe 6 or so years at the oldest internal hard drive, one hard drive is about 2 months old (Black friday, but the computer was doing this before it was installed) and the NFME drive is where windows is, and that is also about a couple months old. The other drives are just storage, and most of...

    Question Why does my computer keep locking up or restarting?

    So, I've left the external hard drive unplugged, and it still seems to happen, Not seemingly as violently, but it still does happen. Not sure what you mean "fresh" install, but it was a blank hard drive , and i used a USB to install windows 10, but used an old security code for (I believe)...

    Question Why does my computer keep locking up or restarting?

    Greetings, Thanks for this. Regarding the event viewer, I am assuming the part I should look at is the "event type: Critical"? If so, there's been 12 events in the past week, and they are all the same, as follows: Event ID: 41 Source: Kernel - Power Log: System As to the other things, I am...

    Question Why does my computer keep locking up or restarting?

    Greetings, I just build a new computer, everything seems great, except at random times it will just completely restart, or lock up with a horrible static through the speakers. Today I was watching Twitch, and did nothing but click on the volume to turn it up, and it restarts. Doesn't do this all...
