I’m having a weird freeze on my desktop pc every day. It can happen from anywhere between 5 minutes after booting, or 6 hours into gaming. The picture freezes and the sound disappears, and I have to hard reset.
In the beginning, I thought it was my RAM, because the freeze happened instantly after boot if I switched sockets on the DIMMs. But no errors come up after several cycles of memtest86, and I ended trying a different set of DIMMs and it still crashes.
Nothing overheats, and nothing comes up in event viewer except the hard reset.
I’m suspecting my mobo, but I’m not really certain.
Specs:
CPU: AMD FX 8350 4.0 Ghz (never OC’d), and it still crashes with AMD turbo core and cool n quiet off
GFX: MSI GTX 1070 Gaming X 8 Gb
Mobo: Gigabyte 970-UD3P
RAM: 16 gb (2x8) Kingston HyperX 2133 mhz DDR3.
PSU: Corsair RM650X.
OS: Win10 Pro 64 bit
Another weird thing is, that my RAM come up as single channel in speccy, but the other set I tried come up as dual channel (as they should).
I’m usually pretty tech savvy, but I can’t seem to figure this out.
I couldn’t find any other posts like this, sorry if they exist.
Thanks
