PC will freeze and lock up randomly.
Hi,
My computer will randomly freeze, or the screen will go black and I can not do anything except a reboot.
My Pc is custom built (nothing is overclocked)
Specs:
Windows 7 Pro x64
ASUS M4A89GTD/PRO USB3.0
AMD PhenomII x6 1075T
2x WD Caviar blue 250Gg HDD in RAID 0
EVGA NVIDIA GTS 450
8Gb DDR3 1600 G.Skill Ripjaws
My PC got replacement RAM 2 weeks ago. This problem has been going before the RAM replacement too.
First, the symptoms:
The PC will run in standard mode, but it just locks up at any given time. My PC has not been running for a full 24 hours without freezing up since this all started about 2 weeks ago. I had my browser open listening to Pandora, suddenly the PC froze and the sound made a constant buzzing until I rebooted it. It led me to think the audio driver was bad, so I re-installed the Realtek audio driver (which I've heard can cause issues) and it still froze up. I re-installed Windows last week, because these problems were still occurring, but the re-install did not fix it.
Conclusion:
While in safe mode, or booted from a live Linux flash drive, my PC has no problems running. This leads me to think I have a driver issue in Windows somewhere. I went to the ASUS website and downloaded the most recent drivers, (except the BIOS, which could be an issue, but I've seen PC's seriously screwed over when a bios update goes wrong. So I've been trying to avoid that) and installed them, but still, no luck. Sometimes my PC will even do a CHKDSK upon reboot, so could it be a RAID 0 issue?
I am not sure what to do at this point, so any help is wanted. I will be glad to give any more info if needed. :)
I have included 3 .dmp files, there were 3 BSOD's since I've installed Windows. Hopefully they can help find the issue.
