    [SOLVED] PC Freezes but sound still plays and I have limited control of other open windows

    Okay, i've removed my Vengeance ram stick and the problem still occurs, but i think i have found a solution. I tried updating my MSI Afterburner and it seems to have solved the issue. No clue how but I'm thankful I dont have to worry about crashing in Competitive gamemodes anymore :) Thanks for...

    [SOLVED] PC Freezes but sound still plays and I have limited control of other open windows

    It's running at stock speeds. For some reason anything over a 40MHz OC is unstable, for both my 1070 and 1060 even with the power and temp targets as well as the core voltage sliders maxed. Perhaps that issue is related too. Another thing, whenever it freezes, if I check the frozen GPU usage...

    [SOLVED] PC Freezes but sound still plays and I have limited control of other open windows

    I'll try disconnecting it. Theres nothing really uncommon about those two games, Overwatch is on the HDD and is launched via Battle.net and Destiny 2 is on the SSD and is on Steam. I guess they are both very CPU and GPU intensive compared to my other games as I play with max settings on both. I...

    I used MSI Afterburner to set it. I tried maxing out the slider but it still freezes.

    [SOLVED] PC Freezes but sound still plays and I have limited control of other open windows

    I've done sfc scannow, windows memory checker, memtest, updated all my drivers and updated my bios to the latest revision. My PSU is 500W and it seems pretty reliable to me as multiple of my friends are using the same one with no issues.

    [SOLVED] PC Freezes but sound still plays and I have limited control of other open windows

    It only happens while gaming, usually games like Overwatch and Destiny 2 but not CSGO, Rocket League or Minecraft. The CPU Cores stay steady at 74 C but the card hits the max temp setting that ive set at 80 C to stop it from sounding like a plane taking off. I dont have any PSU monitoring...

    I've been having this problem for 2 years now and it has persisted even after switching from a GTX 1060 to a 1070. My system specs are: i5 6600k (oc to 4.2GHz but problem persists with or without oc) Asus Z170M-Plus Zotac GTX 1070 Mini (upgraded from Zotac 1060 Amp) 12GB Corsair 2133mhz ram...
