Random crashes with looping sound - tried everything
Hi! Here's the problem:
Brand new pc crashes at random times. Screen freezes, leds on keyboard and mouse black out, and the sound loops kindof fast. Reset button resets, but that's all it responds to when this happens.
No BSOD, no event viewer logs on anything.
Here comes the worst part: I keep having my tech guy take it away to fix it, but it doesn't want to crash at his techlab. Not in 5 days. Accumulated, the PC has been in his lab for about 3 weeks now. Not once has it crashed for him, even tho he ran all kinds of stress tests. 3dMark, Memtest, and some others i downloaded myself, but don't remember which ones they are. So it's impossible to produce the crash on purpose. He opened, and kind of worked a little most of my applications simultaneously - and i have a lot of applications. Nothing, no crash, no errors. Happened three times now, that he took it away to see what's wrong but after a few days he brought it back to me - because it just didn't crash at his place. I know what you might be thinking: voltage fluctuations... right. I call bs on that, because i have a surge protected extender and it doesn't freeze even when the lights in the whole house are flickering due to fluctuations.
I contacted some other techies for suggestions on the problem, but all of them are saying different things. Some say its hardware related, and the only solution is to swap the hardware up 1 by 1, and see what happens. Some say windows is trash (ofc they use linux or apple or w/e), and it needs MemTurbo and ProcessTamer to avoid crashes, because those apps are that essential to run a windows properly. Some others say it might be my peripherals (logitech g500, some HP printer, logitech woofers, and logitech kb), or simply faulty electicity... wonder how my old pc can bare with those tho... Also some say its a typical undetectable hardware problem, and nothing helps really, so i should just bare with the occasional freezes until they stop by themselve /WTF????/.
All in all im pretty lost with this problem, and the only solution i can think of is a huge f>#&ing hammer, then forcefeeding something like "it crashed... physically... by itself... give me a new one of everything plz" to the store i bought it at. Personally i suspect some undetectable hardware problem. Which is statistically the most probable scenario after i got no feedback of any errors from my pc. Or bad memory addressing. Or a faulty video card. Or 1 of the other 9999 things.
Please help me, i'm open to any suggestions!
