Hi guys,
Recently I upgraded my PC, the only components I hadn't replaced are my power supply.
My current hardware is :
Intel i7-7700k @ 4.2 GHz
Zotac GTX 1080 Extreme
16 GB of DDR4 Ram
650 w EVGA supernova PSU
Asus Hero Maximumus VIII MOBO
My computer ran fine for the first month and a half within my upgrade, However as of late it's started freezing consistently every time I use it.
It literally freezes, audio stops, mouse is unable to move and CTRL + ALT + DEL doesn't work, forcing me to hard reset my PC physically. The Freezing can occur randomly, sometimes it occurs a few minutes into the reboot, and other times hours after the computer has booted.
I have tried most advice found on the net. I updated all drivers, I ran MEMtest to see if it was an issue with RAM, I've tried fiddling with Power Options, I've also removed overclocking presets I had and resetting the BIOS. I'm currently writing this post on a clean install of windows 10, and the issue still persists. I've also tried removing my graphics card to see if its a driver problem and it isn't .
SO from here what is the logical conclusion? Is it a hardware issue with my PC? (pls tell me its not I cant be bothered to chase up the warrantys)
If not, is there any other final solution I can perhaps try?
Many thanks,
Rowan
