Problem 1) I tried to run OCCT GPU stress test to check thermals and immediately my PC audio hangs and stops displaying video.
Problem 2) Similarly, I had a couple of BSODs recently with page fault in non paged area where the audio would hang as well, but it hasn't done it in the past day or 2. They would happen at random, usually at idle.
What I have tried so far:
Stressed GPU with other programs such as superposition, Aida 64, and several games. No hiccups at all. No artifacts, crashes, and performance is to be expected. GPU and CPU temps are a bit high in games due to a restricted airflow case, but generally below 80c and never hot enough to be alarming.
Memory has no issues in AIDA memory stress test, and is fine in games. I also tried windows memory diagnostic which passed with 0 errors.
Earlier userbenchmark would cause a crash to desktop on the GPU test portion, however I updated GPU drivers and this issue went away. This update didn't change any other problems I was having.
Computer Specs:
i5 760 w/ arctic alpine 12
Dell Inspiron motherboard
16gb (2x8gb) Crucial Ballistix DDR3
XFX DD R9 280x 3gb (custom fan curve in MSI afterburner, default clock and voltage)
Corsair CS450M 80+ Gold
Cougar MG130-G
W10 pro
I tried the GPU in my sandy bridge PC (in sig) and it crashed in OCCT as well. It did not crash with the GTX970 that PC normally has.
Any clue whats up?
