Random PC Freezing/Crash

[17005609]

In a way its not entirely random basically if I disable my Ethernet driver AND my Wifi card it will run perfectly however if I re-enable my Wifi card and go into a Skype call it doesn't freeze. I know that
sounds weird and like total BS but trust me its been like this for 2-3 years and it never freezes in a Skype call so I call my tablet and leave it on so I can use my PC. I have been unable to bring it anywhere to get it repaired because nowhere trustworthy is nearby where I live.

Before windows 10 I would still crash mainly in GTA V however when i did crash it would be a BSOD now it just freezes my (peripherals still sort of work if I press caps lock the keyboard changes colour etc) and some times it will play a sound similar to a BSOD.

PC Specs:

GPU - Sapphire Radeon R9 270X

CPU - AMD FX(tm) 8320 Eight Core Processor

Motherboard - MSI 970 GAMING Socket AM3+

Ram - 8GB Mushkin Silverline

PSU - Corsair CX750

SSD - Kingston

HDD - ?

Wifi Card - TP-Link TL-WN851N

OS - Windows 10

Will really appreciate any help I have tried so many times to fix this

Are you able to run games without crashing if you disable ethernet &Wifi (assume that the games alow you to run somehow without internet connection) ?

When the Ethernet and wifi card are both disabled it doesn't crash whether I am playing games or not

hm, that is a rare kind of fault.

You sure that you have to disable both the integrated network card and wifi card in order for getting the computer become stable?

Does it help if you physically remove the wi-fi card, if you can use a wired connection just in order to test?

It freezes even if im not in a game now with the wifi adapter or ethernet enabled

Ok that is weird.

That lead me to four possible causes of the problem:
- Driver problem.
- Hardware problem : that is there is something physically fault to either network cards or somewhere on mainboard or chipset.
- Spechial kind of malware : that is, the (evil) creator of the malware haven't thaught of what the malware should do if no network card is found.
- Capacitors on mobo starting to degrade. As a result, the supply voltage for various components get less and less stable- and in this case, network cards happens to be the most sensible components for bad voltage quality.

The last one I beleive is most likely to be the reason.

You can try using Linux (Live-cd) for some days just to see if the computer is prone to malfunction then too. That may give a definite answer for if driver is to blame.

Actually - the first thing I would recommend you to do now is to use Memtest to test wheter the RAM is all good.
