Unknown Issue (4 months long) Freezes
Hello,
Here are my specs to begin:
i7 3930k
ASUS Rampage IV Extreme - Bios 3010 post CAP Convertor
32 GB (XMP) 4x4 2 sets. - XMP Profile 1866 - 1.65V
HD 7970 ASUS DCU2T
Corsair Force GT 120GB
WD Cav Black Sata 6 1 TB
CM Cosmos 2 (Not sure about this but I'm suspecting the chassis as well with its layout)
1200w CM Silent Gold PSU
Win 7 64 Ultimate
Pre-posting this topic notes:
- Day 1 problem - 00 Debug Code - No Boot - No On-screen display (solved with reinstalling the parts)
- Day 1 problem - Random freezes
- Month and a half ago, PSU went kaput from what may be a surge
- To test damage, powered on the pc and all was running well.
- Removed PSU and sent for RMA
- Got a new set a few days back
- Rules out PSU issue
After installing and running with new PSU
- Update UEFI BIOS with Cap-Convertor
- Bios upgraded to 3010 RIVE non-custom
- Issue persists.
- Freezes are random still
- Freezes can be delayed by toying around with DIGI+ Power Control
- 00 Debug if restarted after freeze without removing power source
- Unplugging for 5 seconds results in regular boot procedure. AE > AA (select mode > boot)
- All parts are as is as it was in day 1 with the exception of PSU (RMA'ed)
Most Common Freezes
- Whilst Gaming
- When Chassis is Shaked (not always)
- When removing Wireless Adapter from front USB Panels (Chassis)
- When transfering Wireless Adapter USB Ports from 2.0 to 3.0 and vice versa.
Non Gaming / Intensive Status:
- No crashes until I start multi tasking (simple music + ms office + spidertracks)
- Sometimes it doesn't crash at all.
Tests done:
Prime
Burn
FurMark
- Before PSU was RMA'ed
- Lost result data
- Didn't shut down or freeze during those as far as I can remember.
I'm really baffled at this point. Prior to this there was a 1 week worth of pure good gaming experience without crashes even when it was at 4.5 GHz OC'ed with DIGI+ set to 400 frequencies for memory and some voltage tweaks.
I do hope to solve this issue before further RMA'ing any parts. It takes forever over here.
Thank you for reading this and do let me know if I can do anything to assist or provide.
Regards,
Shawn
