    Random Freezes with new PC!


    I'm getting random freezes without bluescreen, sometimes while gaming, sometimes while only surfing on internet or just browsing files.
    I checked the Event Viewer and there are always 2 same BSOD:

    Critical

    There are many reasons why a PC " behaves" this way.
    These annoying " gliches" may be caused by an overloaded hard drive, overworked CPU, Malware, running 2 AV 's, unnecessary data, Browser addons or you may have unnecessary programs running in the background etc....

    Troubleshooting steps for you to try -

    * Go to search, type device manager and look for any yellow warning markers.

    * Download SuperAntiSpyware or Malwarebytes, run a full scan after you update.

    * Run an Antivirus scan.

    *Type event viewer, in search (by start button) > Windows Logs > Application & System.
    Look for RED critical errors that say app hang, app crash, or anything that relates to the problem.
    Note the event ID, and the source codes and Google search them.

    * Make sure that you are not over heating.

    * Make sure PSU is working properly.

    * If overclocking, restore to original.

    * Try in safe mode; report back if it works properly.

    BTW, If you get a BSOD submit the DMP files for analysis.

    Seeing as how I just recovered from a similar issue I'll also toss in my two cents.

    I simply had to replace my hard-drive and re-install. Everything is running great now.

    Is your hard-drive new or old? A simple check for some bad sectors might help as well. Anyways, JMH will know more than I so listen to him first!

    Just suggesting a possible HDD issue.

    Cheers and goodluck

    A she hey? Woops... My apologies!

    Glad to know my comments are welcome.

    I am posting again as well because I had a perfect install on a brand new hard drive this morning and my comp restarted randomly again.

    I suspect a bad piece of ram so I suggest checking that as well.

    Anyways good luck. I will be sure to post what the techs find when I get my system back in case it helps you.

    Cheers.

    Great, glad to hear you got it fixed.

    Mine was like this: bad hard-drive into brand new system, change the hard-drive, then found out bad ram was also causing issues.

    Up and running 2 days now with no issues. Bad RAM is a very common issue it seems.
