the last freeze was a couple of hours ago. 

 

 

I asked this yesterday before this latest freeze. Your last post before yesterday was on the 24th, did the computer lock up at all between the 24th and 27th, if yes, what was the computer being used for, we are trying to see if there is a pattern to the behaviour.

 

No worries about Speedfan, your MB sensors obviously don`t play nice with it, what we can see in HWMonitor looks ok but there is only the top of the results showing.

yeah the last lockup was on the 27th, it was after midnight. and I was watching a video when it happened.

 

I'll get you the lower half of the results in a moment

 

Edit: okay here's the rest of the results

If you used the computer between the 24th and 27th and for the same use (gaming and watching videos) but got no lock ups that is real odd.

 

Thanks for the rest of the HWMonitor info which looks all good voltage and temperature wise, the one thing that we cannot check the temps on is the PSU, if that is overheating you can only place your hand at the back of the exhaust vents to see how hot the air is that is being expelled.

 

Time to test your system under load, use the free version of Valley SUPERPOSITION for this, download from here see how this goes for us and post back.

[Lucky Dearly]

okay this is really wierd. I was trying to download SUPERPOSITION and the pc froze during the download, this happened twice. Gonna try to download it again and hope this time it goes through

 

Edit: froze a third time when I was downloading the superposition program. and it was nearly done. I checked the fan and cold air was coming out of it so I can rule out an overheat.

 

Edit: Okay I have it downloaded and I'll run it as soon as I can.

Well done for persevering with it 

 

Will wait on your update.

[Lucky Dearly]

Hmm this is odd, I installed superposition and when I tried to run it nothing happens. not even when I set it to run as an administrator nothing happens at all.

[phillpower2]

Uninstall Superposition and try Valley instead, free download here

[Lucky Dearly]

okay I ran the valley and here's the results.

 

note, for some reason it says windows 8 when I'm on windows 10

Running Valley was more about seeing if it caused the system to lock up, I take it that the system did not lock up then.

[Lucky Dearly]

nope, it went smoothly.

[phillpower2]

If the cause was overheating it would have been expected to get the lock ups that you described earlier, back to the drawing board i`m afraid 

 

Are the games that you are playing and the videos that you are watching using an internet connection.

 

Your PSU is a Corsair CX650M which is semi modular, have you checked that all of the internal cables are securely connected to the PSU, the MB, GPU and HDDs etc.

 

Just a fyi, Corsair does not recommend the use of a CX model PSU for gaming builds, they actually advise the following;

 

CX Series™ Modular power supply units are an excellent choice for basic system builds and desktop PC computer upgrades, 

 

 

Can I ask when you estimate that you will have the new external storage device, I reckon that you will really benefit from a clean install of Windows on its own partition.

[Lucky Dearly]

yeah on both the videos and games. and I'm sure they are, mostly cause I had a professional connect everything up back in June. And for the external HDD hopefully soon

[phillpower2]

yeah on both the videos and games.

 

 

Based on the above and the fact that you were able to run Valley without issue you need to consider the possibility that it is a problem with the internet service.

[Lucky Dearly]

it might, we've had issues with the router reseting itself and we've had the internet go down a few times (the outtages were on the provider's side).

As mentioned previously, you have a load of garbage on your HDD and a lot of scheduled to check for updates, it may not be responsible for the lock ups but it will affect the internet performance on your PC;

 

Now that you have the space freed up on the HDD it is important that you do not let it drop below what it is now.

 

also to update, I had three freezes on my pc earlier today.

 

 

How long is it since the computer last froze, it would also help if you could tell us what the computer was being used for when it froze and what exactly do you mean by froze, would the mouse cursor not move for example.

 

I noticed that along with a ton of other rubbish that you have on the HDD** the following, McAfee SiteAdvisor Service, did you ever install this.

 

** As mentioned above, you have a load of garbage on the HDD that needs to be gotten rid of;

Not sure that I have ever seen such a list of scheduled updates, seeing the Iobit and Driverbooster names just makes me want to bang my head
