Hey guys,
So my PC has had this problem for a while now. It's a desktop, I built it myself a couple of years ago. Randomly, my PC will freeze, causing the screens to freeze, my oscillating LED keyboard to stop oscillating, and any sound to just become a screeching loop sound. After about 30 seconds or so, it just turns off.
I have had a blue screen problem, but this was long ago, and I have not had a blue screen since this new problem started so I believe they are unrelated. When freezing, my PC has only been able to recover itself once out of the many times it does it, and after recovering a notification popped up saying "Windows encountered an error with your graphics card, and has recovered." I have reinstalled all drivers and cleaned out the inside of my PC, re-seating the GPU.
My PC has varying times of use, ranging from hours and hours of use to under 30 minutes of use before it freezes. Here are my specs:
Operating System: Windows 10
GPU: AMD Radeon HD 5870 4GB
CPU: AMD FX-8320 8-Core @ 3.5GHz
8 GB HyperX RAM
It was originally built with Windows 7, upgraded to Windows 10. GPU and RAM are hand-me-downs.
If you guys have any insight, that would be great!
Thank you!
