Annoying Lock-ups.
I recently put together a new system and installed Windows 7 x64 Professional. For the last month, I've been struggling with complete lockups that happen anywhere from one to three times a day.
There is no way of recovering from them; I'm forced to do a hard boot. Everything on my screen freezes, and the lights on my keyboard go off as if it has been unplugged, and the speakers emit a horrible glitchy sound. Unfortunately, these crashes don't seem to leave me any data about what went wrong. BSOD, where art thou?
I've tried multiple fixes- updating every driver I could think of, cleaning up old drivers and registry entries, etc. In the process, I've discovered something interesting.
I have an AMD Phenom 1055t on an Asus M4A87TD EVO mobo. While most of the voltages appear to be in line, two in particular stand out to me. The 12v rail runs around 11.6v, and the CPU VCORE fluctuates, bouncing from 1.38 to 1.45v.
Any flags going up? If not, I'd appreciate any advice you guys could offer, especially about finding out the particulars of these crashes. Is there a log I could check?
