I recently moved to a new apartment. When I moved I probably changed the USB ports into which I put my devices (Mouse/Scanner/UPS monitor), but other than that no changes. I cleaned the fans out with compressed air. Other than that no major changes.
As soon as I had it hooked up I started getting crashes. No BSODs just unresponsive periods where the computer just progressively becomes less and less responsive (either freezes or goes to a black screen where you can move the cursor with the mouse but nothing else.) The computer boots up fine and the crashes occur between 10 minutes and 4 hours later. I have tried the following
Reinstalling the video drivers (running most recent AMD drivers for my 7970)
Reinstalling the printer drivers (i have an HP Office Jet 6830 network printer
Reinstalling the USB 3.0 Etron driver (I used the most up to date driver available for my motherboard, and ASRock 890gx pro 3); other ASRock drivers are up to date.
Ran Windows memory test x 2 (all clear)
Ran DISM and SFC (both 100% fine no errors reported)
I am running an 890gx pro 3 asrock with an FX8350 which has always run rock solid. No overclocks 16gb ram. System has always been rock solid until now.
I am racking my brain to think if there is anything else I might have done during the move that
might have triggered this, but I can figure anything out.
The event logs are unhelpful. Is there anything else I can use to look at what was going on with the computer at the time of the crash? I used WHOCRASHED but since it isn't generating a BSOD no DUMP files are being created.
Thanks for any help!
