My PC randomly freezes on me almost like its in an infinite loop, replaying the last fraction of a second over and over again. It will freeze when I am doing anything or even nothing, just sitting idle. It has even froze on me whilst in safe mode. At first it would never freeze when playing a 3D game like Champions Online or when playing a DVD, but recently even then it freezes. It never goes to BSOD and never unfreezes. I have to manualy power down inorder to do anything else. Upon start up there is always a single short beep.
It has always had this problem ever since I bought it. I have reinstalled Windows several times. I have run 30 passes of memtest with no errors. I have reseated the RAM and video cards, checked to make sure everything was plugged in firmly. Computer temps are always around 35-40, GPU will get up to 55 when playing a game. All drivers are up to date, maybe the MB driver needs an upgrade but I do not know how to check for that.
I have had one person say it might be a memory frequency/timings/voltage issue, where the "AUTO" settings in BIOS *may not* produce a stable setting. But I do not want to mess around with the BIOS myself without knowing what I'm doing.
Any help in this matter is appreciated!
