Chronology :
So, my pc start to freeze when playing games (dota 2 and cs:go). this is not the first time it happen. back in December 2014, my pc fail to start, bring it to shop and got a new psu. issue solved.
then few weeks ago, suddenly the issue started.
Issue :
- 2 weeks ago : When playing games (Dota 2 and cs:go) after awhile around 30min screen freeze need hard reset
After several attempts to fix it
- Today : Screen Freezes for few seconds ( 30~ish ) then back desktop. Games still running in taskbar. but cant seems to bring it to the main desktop. need to end task from task manager. the issues is consistent.
Attempts :
- Tried to fix issue from the software, increased TDRdelay to 50.
didnt solve it, it just took longer to freeze.
- Tried Driver from the cd that come with the gpu,
List of version that i tried : 301,314,352 , didnt change anything
- Tried my cousin GPU GTX 660 , issue still the same. ( which mean its not my GPU ? )
- Tried 1 memory stick to check the RAM stick, even with 1 RAM stick the issue still persist
- Run memtest86 - No error found
- Downclock using MSI afterburner ( -100 ) issue persist.
- Tried Furmark
Default setting - Freeze then crash at 74 degree ( it always crash when it reach 74 ) around 48sec
Tried to increase the fan speed to lower down then degree and make sure it last longer, Still crash even faster. around 36sec.
- Updated Bios , Still same issue
- Cleaned from dust ! Still Same sadly
Side note:
GPU temp - 35 ~ 60+ ( when running the game )
CPU temp - 35 ~ 40
Whenever i run DDU, there some error before restarting and entering safe mode ( not sure what it does )
Spec :
Proc : Intel Core i7 3770K 3.4GHz ivy bridge
Mobo : Asrock Extreme 4
RAM : Vengeance® — 4GB Single Module DDR3 Memory Kit (CMZ4GX3M1A1600C9) x 4 units
PSU : Seasonic M12 II 620W
Cooler : corsair H60
SSD : OCZ Vertex 4 128GB
HDD : WD Caviar Blue 1TB
ODD : Lite-On 22x
GPU : Palit GTX 680 Jetstream 4gb
CASE : corsair 600T
Probably Either CPU / Mobo or PSU ?
Cant really tried the PSU cause my cousin PSU is 550w and some shady brand. also the her only 6PIN
and my PSU not even 1 year old ( pc 4 years old ) since i changed my PSU back in december, changed the same brand and model (Seasonic M12 II 620W)
CPU and Mobo, i will try to find way to check this. since im located in somewhere, that hard to find a decent Mobo and CPU to try. bought the PC when im studying overseas,
Thanks for reading my long frustrating journey, Any help would be decent.
