Hi,
My pc seems to freeze intermittently regardless of what I am doing. It would stay frozen for 4 to 5 seconds and then goes back to being normal. I had my pc running continuously for couple of days to see if it gets any worse, which it doesn't. As part of troubleshooting I decided to reinstall windows 7, did that but the issue still continues.
My setup is as follows :
Asus Sabertooth X79
Intel Core i7 3930K (not OC'ed)
8gb ddr3 1600 patriot
Kingston hyper x 120gb
evga gtx 780 ti sc
cm storm trooper case
Another issue I've had recently is that if I try to start the pc after a complete shut down, it wont. If its just a restart from the start menu, its fine. After a lot of trial and error with I/O peripherals I have observed that if I have the front panel 20 pin header connected to the m/b, pc wont boot after a complete shutdown. M/B has standby power indication, but it just wont start (no post, nothing, if I press the power button it's as if I have not plugged it to the wall AC outlet). After , say about 10 to 15 trials it might start up. If I try to start the pc with the 20 pin header disconnected, I have no issues, pc starts well and all. But still the intermittent freezing continues.
I am beginning to doubt the front panel audio now. No specific reason , but I've always had my headphones plugged in to it. Now I don't use the headphones. Also I've put my pc to stress testing (small fft on prime95) , it should be 11 hrs since I've started, will see how it holds up when I get back from work. BTW, stress testing was one of the first things I did after setting up my pc for the first time and it went through it for over 24hrs like knife through butter.
Thanks in advance.
