Please HELP! W7 Pro 64bits keeps freezing

Vlad88667 · 28 Jun 2011

Hello,

I'm new to this forum but I really need help!

About a week ago I got myself a new mobo, ram and cpu, along with a new Windows 7 Pro 64bits. After installing everything I got my PC working without issues.

But that same day my PC just froze up. No input possible, keyboard and mouse not responding, and the speakers were stuck on the last sound from a video. (also the Harddrive LED stopped blinking)

I thought this was just a one time thing but now I see these freezes happen all the time. One time while watching a video, one time while playing minecraft, one time during browsing, etc etc.

I understand there are alot of people with this issue on Windows 7 but there doesn't seem to be an absolute solution for everyone, so please please please can someone who understands this problem help me?

Thank you

EDIT: System Specs
-Windows 7 Pro 64bits SP1 from MSDNAA (installed on two different HDD same problem both times)
-CPU: Intel i5 2500K 3.3GHz new
-Motherboard: Asus P8H67-M new
-Ram: Corsair 4Gb DDR3 1333MHz new
-Graphics Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 460 768MB

Welcome to Windows Seven Forums.

The one thing you didn't mention was your power supply.

If you can check it yourself, see this link: Power Supply Test - How Do I Test the Power Supply in My Computer? - PSU Test

If you can't check it yourself do you know anyone who can?

Hi,

My Power supply is a LC Power lc6600gp2 v2.3 600W.

Unfortunately I have no idea where I could get it tested...

Could it be that I need a new PSU? I've had this one for some time without issues for a q9550 2.83GHz on Vista 32bits.

done!

I apologize. That's the second time within the last hour that I've made that mistake. Let's hope it's just to the 100+ temps here.

Just as a wild guess until the bsod analyzers get a chance to look at the .zip file, then:
Take cover off of computer.
Direct a desktop/table/floor fan directly at your computer.

You can use core temp (link in my sig) to keep an eye an your temps.

I actually use RealTemp to monitor the CPU and GPU temps, never got anything above normal. Does Core temp record the temperatures to a log? Maybe I could see an overheating issue this way?

Early days yet, but in the absence of any other pointers it's quite possible, which is why it's important to have it checked.

Do you have any whizz-kid friends who possess a multimeter to check out some voltages and power readings for you?

Vlad88667 · 28 Jun 2011

afraid not, don't know anyone who would have anything like that...

but at least if the problem comes from the PSU it's fairly simple to replace.
