Computer freezes randomly
Hello, i originally created a thread like this is BSOD section but thought it would be better suited here.
I've had this issue for a couple of months now, but in the latest 1-2 weeks it has gotten pretty severe. I have no idea how to bugtest this, so any pointers would be really appreciated.
When the computer freezes, it can happen in two different ways, either the monitor goes pitch black and the computer restarts itself, or the screen just freezes (any music freezes and makes a static sound) and you need to hard reboot it. These crashes can happen any time.
Something i've noticed is when i power on the computer for the first time in the day, i usually start the game DOTA2 and just let it idle for a bit. The computer will usually freeze withing 5-10 minutes, and i will do a hard reboot. The next time i open DOTA2 after the hard reboot, the game can run for a couple of hours without crashing or freezing. Although this is usually a hit and miss, sometimes when a crash has happened and i reboot, several more crashes can keep happening in a row and ill have to keep doing hard reboots.
Today it happened again, and this time when i rebooted, the computer actually completely froze on the startup screen that lets you go to BIOS.
Looking at the eventlogger, the Critical one is the regular ID 41 "computer didnt shut of correctly". There are then a total of 9 errors (3 errors from 3 different ones) that are logged about 30-60 seconds after the Critical one, and they have the following ID:
ID 102 PNRPSvc
ID 7001 Service Control Manager
ID 7023 Service Control Manager
As far as im concerned, the temps all seem to be below 40C, and during load it doesnt go above 55-60C
I've cleaned most of the case with compressed air i believe, but not each piece individually. I've also run a chkdsk but couldn't figure out where to look for wrong info.
My GPU is a Geforce GTX 750 SC(super clocked from factory) if that makes any difference.
The only thing that i can think of doing right now is run a memtest, which i was gonna do today and let it run overnight. I'm wondering however if i should be using memtest86 or memtest86+.
Any help is appreciated, Thank you!
