PC keeps on hanging after 2hours. But can run OCCT for 12hrs+, No BSOD

Have a look here; even though it's rated at 1600 the actual speed is 1333

Vengeance®

I do believe if you factor the multiplier of 2 you get 1334 which is right on the money.

Here is some reading info on this.

Memory RAM speed - access time, megahertz (MHz), bytes per second

Ah yes.

Thanks for the clarification.

Just loaded the BIOS defaults. Hope it doesn't hang

After loading BIOS defaults,

system STILL hangs after bout 2hours of idle


I see someone having a similar problem, but no response?

Do you have any USB devices connected?

Just a mouse and a keyboard.

*Event Viewer shows no "critical or error" that is related to system

I did a quick google for your motherboard + freezing, and there are quite a few threads about it. How old is the motherboard? Have you contacted Asus about it, and maybe getting it RMA'd?

yea i realise this issue is not as rare as i thought it would be.

The motherboard is almost a year old.

I wouldn't want to be so quick to RMA becoz im running a WC setup, and unless its something unfixable on my end, then i would consider RMA.

Reading those threads about the mobo, I have disabled C1E, C3 and C6 in BIOS.

Shall wait and see

Thanks guys, seems like disabling the C1E, C3 and C6 did the trick.

Should have came across the long thread at XS where this issue was explained clearly!
