Hey guy/gals,

I have been having some random issues going on with my system and I have tested just about everything. I am at the point where I'm not sure what to do. I ran memtest86 for 14 hours with no errors but I have this feeling that it is my memory. I keep having games crash, screen freezes but if you wait wait long enough the system will start to work again, BSOD, cannot write to memory errors. I mean the list goes on. Can someone give help here? I know my post is vague but I'm at work right now so I can't really go super in depth. Any guidance is appreciated. Thank you.

PCPartPicker part...
that is the one thing I haven't tested. I was always under the impression that CPUS hardly go bad and when they do they just stop working altogether. What is a good cause testing program. I know prime95 but haven't really had much experience with it.

 


Depends on if the system is overheating or an unstable overclock, if you have decent cooling then I'd suggest Intel Burn Test.
 
check the Graphics card aswell.
thermal past on the CPU redue....

did you check your hard drive? crystal disk info; and hard disk sentinel.

error check your hard drive with disk management

test your system with onboard graphics or a different graphics card....
 
thank you everyone for all your replies. What is a good hard drive testing software? I used HDtune to do a sector scan but all my hard drives came back fine. I run 2 ssds one of which is at least 4 years old. but again the scans appear to be fine.
 


updated drivers and reinstalled windows. I haven't update the bios lately but the issue that I'm having just started about 1-week ago. Everything was stable up until then.
