Hi there.
I'm not sure which category my issue belongs to - I suspect the Graphics Card, but that's only a vague guess. Now for the problem - as 3D visual artist, I use a render machine - a custom build, I put together in 2015. Here the specs:
Motherboard : MSI X99A SLI PLUS
BIOS : v1.70 02/09/2015
Processor : Intel Core i7-5820K @ 3.30 GHz
Memory : 32 GBs, Quad Channel - Rows 0, 4, 8, 12; 1066.7 MHz (15-15-15-35)
Video : EVGA e-GeForce GTX 970
Audio 1 : Intel Wellsburg PCH - High Definition Audio Controller
Audio 2 : Nvidia GM204 - High Definition Audio Controller
Primary Drive : Crucial SATA 500GB, 6GB/s
Output : Dual Monitor - HDMI + Analog
Power : bequiet Dark Power Pro 550 W
Now to the problem: the machine freezes once a day. That's the strange thing - it would freeze ONLY ONCE A DAY.. I would open Chrome to listen to some online radio and my 3D software to work on a smiple model and it freezes - in a couple of minutes or in an hour of that usage. [Maybe important: Sometimes however (seldomly), it doesn't.] But after the freeze, I could simultaneously use Chrome with 50+ tabs open, render a heavy still and play Crysis and it wouldn't freeze anymore that day. Not even once.
I would be very glad if you could help me with that issue, as my google searches don't help me any further.
Thanks in advance
Shane
