Hello, Please I am fighting with this problem more than 1 year... I got random freezes (99% just in IDLE time, or when i am just browsing via browser) My HARDWARE: CPU: FX-6300@4.2GHz (Default voltage) + Gelid Tranq. v2, MB: ASUS M5A97 Evo R2.0 SoundCard: Creative Audigy RAM: 2x4GB Kingston...

i just added to my 970 EVGA ftw , an adaptor for a water cooling , kraken g10 , then i've added h105 corsair cooler on it . i had to remove the original fans from the card , which means - disconnect them from their nest on the board . the water cooler is connected to the mother board . on...

Last week my computer shutdown from going to hot. I replaced the thermal paste and that helped some. Tonight I performed a stress test on my cpu from intel extreme tuning utulity for 2 min The temps were 91, 99, 88, 99 When not under stress the cores temps fluctuate but are around 61, 67...

I have a problem with my computer locking up with the keyboard and mouse unresponsive and a horrible sound coming from the speakers (I think). This has happened 5 times since I upgraded to a SSD. The first two times it happened the computer was really hot. Fan Speed showed that it was in the...

So long story short, my hard drive died on me so I installed a 1T SSD and got it up and running again. Couple days later it overheated twice. I wasn't doing anything that would require much processing. I only had a few tabs open in Fire Fox. The computer locked up and made a terrible noise from...

Hello. I've had these BSOD's for weeks, where i would crash after playing games, screen goes black with stuttering sound and then i get Hyper Transport Sync Flood error. WhoCrashed shows BCCode 124, and bluescreen viewer thatntskrnl.exe is the culprit. I'm not overclocking since I'm not into...

Could a defective CPU cause my computer to crash randomly? I had a brand new AMD CPU installed by Best Buy a few months back. When I got it home the computer overheated in a few seconds. I took it back and come to find out they had put the water cooler in wrong. The overheating stopped but ...

I have a Lenovo u530 and I would like to install two jet-flow 120mm fans but I cannot find a connector that would fit. I need a y-connector at at least, could anyone point me in the right direction? Here are some pictures 1). Need connectors 2). If jet flow won't work is ther another fan I...

Okay so my birthday is coming this September and well after replacing my motherboard and processor i think its time for a new case as my old one is sadly falling apart, my front face plate barely latches on now with pieces snapped off due to long term wear and tear. My old case is a In Win...

Hi, I am using nvidia multi display power saver with SLI. With two monitors both cards are running at 51mhz and temps are good. Is this safe to force downclock all the time until I need the extra power/3D?

This looks interesting although specs are scant: ref: http://www.kitguru.net/components/graphic-cards/anton-shilov/amd-unveils-project-quantum-ultra-small-pc-with-ultra-high-performance/

It freezes and then crashes. First i thought it might been the temp on the GPU cuz it was up at 80 C but did a stress test with both aida64 extreme and FurMark and had it on for 20min. The temp went up to 90C but it didnt crash. I went into safe mode and uninstalled the drivers and then...

Hello, I need some help please. I've just bought and assembled a brand new computer (i.e. every part is new), all the drivers are up to date (I think) and I've only used it for a few days (see attached file for détails on the configuration). My computer keeps either freezing or crashing. It has...

So it's been some time since my last BSOD thread. A lot has changed, and a lot has stayed the same. Here's a quick rundown: Since my last post I was problem free up until the end of the month, then the BSOD's came back. I tried fixing them myself for a while, but finally gave in and started...

Symptom: I cannot toggle the sleep mode from either my keyboard shortcut or in the menu of windows 8. Both options, shutdown and restart, work perfectly fine but sleep won't work. Here is what happens when I toggle sleep: My screen shuts down but the fans still are blowing. Whenever I move my...

I'm having issues with one of my GPU's fans (it features a dual-fan cooling) and will have to fix it soon. The problem is, it's making an annoying noise and I was thinking if I could just block it for the time being, however brutally that sounds. So, the question is - provided the GPU doesn't...

I have been having an issue with my system just simply shutting down without any warning almost as if a power outage occurred. No blue screen no notifications nothing. It has happened 4 times now while playing a game in particular. When the power goes out I cant turn the computer back on for...

Recently I installed an additional case fan which ventilates directly onto my two hard drives. The temperature decreased from 41°C to 32°C what sounds to be a good thing at first. The downside is that I encounter plenty of errors on one of these HDDs since the mentioned fan installation. More...
