My problem: My system stops responding if I leave it to idle for 20min - 1hour. I am forced to power off by holding the switch and restarting it.
My build:
-Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 Motherboard
-GIGABYTE GV-R795WF3-3GD Radeon HD 7950 3GB Graphics Card
-AMD FX-8120 Zambezi CPU
-Seagate Barracuda ST31000524AS 1TB HDD
-OCZ Vertex 4 SSD
-Thermaltake TR2 TRX-650M 650W ATX PSU
-Corsair Vengeance 8 GB ( 2 x 4 GB ) DDR3 1866 MHz RAM
-Windows 7 SP1 x64
My tests: So far, I have played with the power settings in Windows, to no effect. I have disabled it from turning off my HDD, set sleep mode to never, disabled hybrid sleep, turned off usb selective suspend, and also disabled hibernate.
I updated my BIOS using Gigabyte's F6 (newest) for rev 1.1. I did this first after installing windows, so I am unsure if this contributes to the problem. **I re-installed Windows with no freeze until drivers were installed, further showing that this isn't the problem.
My graphics is up to date.
Prime95 - I performed a torture test using Prime, and everything worked out beautifully. 55-60 C for the most part after 1.5 hours.
***I did a clean install of Windows 7 yesterday.***
It stayed up all night idling and still responded perfectly in the morning. However, 2 hours later after I installed drivers then left, I came back and it froze.
To me this means one of 2 things:
1. The problem is with something happening between 7:50-8:10 for some reason.
2. The problem is with:
a. Realtek Ethernet Drivers
b. Realtek Audio Drivers
c. AMD Catalyst Drivers (Graphics)
d. Etron USB 3.0 Drivers
I ran a /sfc scannow - "Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations."
Screen of my temps:
Other notes: I feel like (what I believe is) my northbridge temps are high on this board. Also, when I come back to my computer the CPU fan is at high RPM's which is unusual for the computer when typically idling.
Info from Event Logs:
-I think that the computer officially stops working at 8:18 am, but for some reason still has logs at 11:40. Another thing to note is that below at 8:18, the Volume Shadow Copy service stops.
I also thought I'd add this here: I first thought it might be a CPU problem due to some stains that were present on it when I got it, but everything still runs fine. The computer works well under full load, with prime95 tests, so I don't know what to make of this.
