Hard Freeze issues that seem to be getting worse.

[steadyjeff]

🙁Pc is having a hard freeze issue that stops screen where it is. Sometimes with a loud buzz and sometimes with the system dump blue screen after a few seconds. This was only happening about once a week and I thought it was a side effect of high graphics games. However, it has been getting more frequent and even sometimes happens several times a day. It may have started around the time I upgraded my GPU. CPU & GPU temps stay within limits. No idea what is going on. Any leads are welcome.

What error code does the blue-screen give? Have you tried memtest x86? Download the ISO, burn it to CD (or use a USB stick), reboot, and let it test your memory outside of Windows. It could be any number of things but the BSOD error code will often give a hint as to what.

Sounds like a hardware error. Try:-

1. Slightly increasing the VCore
2. Lowering OC if you've overclocked it
3. Slightly relaxing memory timings
4. Running Memtest

I turned off the auto/gaming overclock option in the Bios menu and have had no problems since early October.
