Pc stops bit by bit until it needs a restart

[dannyk90]

First the internet goes, websites and programs, I can still ping the router though.

A few seconds later, the programs I have open stop responding.

A few seconds later the mouse stops moving.

I wait 2 minutes and everything is still frozen solid, tried alt+f4 , ctrl+shift+esc , ctrl+alt+del. Nothing worked.

So I had to reboot.


Checked the system logs....
(Programs froze at 18:55)There's no logs at 18:55, the last log was 18:29 and its just information from Service Control Manager "The Application Experience service entered the stopped state."

There is a DNS Client Events warning at 17:08 "Name resolution for the name sse.bay03.calendar.live.com timed out after none of the configured DNS servers responded."

The logs start again at 18:57, when I must have reset the pc. The first one is Kernel-General "The operating system started at system time ‎2014‎-‎10‎-‎12T17:57:17.095997600Z."

Go past a few informations, there's an error log from EventLog 18:57:30 "The previous system shutdown at 18:56:40 on ‎12/‎10/‎2014 was unexpected."

Go past a few more informations, there's a critical from Kernel-Power 18:57:23 "The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly."

18:57:23 a strange information from DriverFrameworks-UserMode
"The UMDF reflector was unable to complete startup because the WUDFPf service was not found. This service may be started later during boot, at which point Windows will attempt to start the device again."

18:57:23 from Kernel-PnP
"The driver \Driver\WUDFRd failed to load for the device ACPI\PNP0A0A\2&daba3ff&1."

18:57:41 from Service Control Manager
"The Service KMSELDI service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 1 time(s)."

18:57:23 from Kernel-Processer-Power
"Processor 0 in group 0 exposes the following:

1 idle state(s)
16 performance state(s)
15 throttle state(s)"

- it does this up to "processor 11"



On startup after the reset, the background is black and returns back to the slideshow after 3 seconds.

This is really weird, i'm not sure what is going on here.


This has happened before about 2 days ago.

I have recently put this pc together, I got a bsod soon after about memory management, I reseated the ram and havnt had a bsod since.

Try Flush DNS

Where did you get WIn7?

Compare the install you did to the perfect install compiled in http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/219487-clean-reinstall-factory-oem-windows-7-a.html#post1839164.

It's from the official disc I bought, windows 7 ultimate 64bit, I have always used this disc when upgrade my pc.

I shall try the flush dns.

 

[gregrocker]

Does it include SP1? Is it fully upgraded with all Important and Optional Windows Updates except Bing?

The disc does not have SP1 but I did download SP1 through windows updates.

Every update and optional is installed - not language packs.

 

[gregrocker]

Since you are focused on Events it shows how to work through these to resolve each one in Step 15 of http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/220165-troubleshooting-steps-windows-7-a.html.

If this doesn't resolve your issues then I'd also work through all of those steps to go over your PC and Win7 most thoroughly, if you decide you don't want to do the perfect reinstall now.

 

[dannyk90]

It just happened again, I ran windows memtest on startup, no problems found.

I ran the memtest you linked for 55m 1 pass 0 fail.

I checked each SSD on startup (3) no problems found.

 

[gregrocker]

Did you flush DNS?

Keep working through the errors to resolve them one-by-one. This is what I do on my installs. Some you'll find are more negligible than others. All will have Google results due to many others searching their text and number.

Then keep working through the Troubleshooting Steps which resolve most issues.

You can also do a diagnosic reinstall following the perfect install in the links I gave you. Test performance after each group of Updates, after each program install, each driver imported because Update doesn't provide it.

 

[dannyk90]

Before I reply to that, I really need my memory stick right now but that memtest has locked my memory stick, I remember on a different version you could unlock it again but I downloaded that version and it wont see the memory stick, probably because it was done in a different version.

I cant format the memory stick! What now


EDIT
Okay that was a random error. Now it is letting me on after putting another memory stick in.

Yes I did flush dns.

Temperatures are good:
Motherboard 27 'c
Graphics Card 40 'c
SSD's 21, 22 and 26 'c

It is a clean install of Windows.

I don't have viruses.

No solutions.

SFC Scannow found no problems.

In the Performance Log, there is an error for Razor Synapse (mouse) apparently it caused delay in the shutdown process, I dont use it anyway so I uninstalled it, but during that a message popped up saying low system something, I think it was to do with virtual memory - Maybe this is what the problem is ?
There are so many warnings about "A sharp degradation in Desktop Window Manager responsiveness was observed." Reason being "Graphics subsystem resources are over-utilized."
There is a critical that says:
Shutdown Duration : 2419356739ms
IsDegradation : true
Incident Time (UTC) : ‎2014‎-‎09‎-‎10T19:40:05.630316400Z



This concludes the Windows 7 troubleshooting list, I have been through it all.

Other information

Just to let you know, I let the program that came with Samsung 850 Pro SSDs to "make my system suited to SSDs"

I noticed the paging file wasn't set to automatic so I've put that on automatic now.

I have not filled up all my Ram Slots but have put 4 sticks in the same coloured slots (there are 8 slots)
Motherboard: Asus Rampage V Extreme.


My keyboard has stopped working whilst I was typing, I re-plugged it in and it stopped again about 20m later. I somehow think this is connected with the other problems like USB sticks ?

I'm using a Bluetooth keyboard to type this now.

I have an AX850 psu, the estimated watts I use is 550.

Edit visual effects as suggested in Bloatware tutorial below.

Try another Display driver from manufacturer for your model.

Try another video card.

Compare the reinstall you did to Reinstall tutorial below, particularly how drivers are handled.

Consider doing it over but testing performance first after install, then after each group of Updates restart, after eachi driver installed after Updates provides its drivers , after each program install. This pinpoints what's causing problems.

You can also boot and run with a boot disk with HD unplugged which will elininate HE and software as cause. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorial...ate-live-cd-dvd-usb-use-emergency-backup.html

 

[dannyk90]

If it happens again, I shall then try those next steps.

I have just ran a PassMark performance test to upload benchmarks, it was kind of a stress test for all components, the pc was fine, did not hang.

PassMark Software - Display Baseline ID# 302397

LOTS MORE CLUES AQUIRED

It tried to crash again as I was restarting for windows updates - it almost crashed but I managed to get the ctrl+alt+del menu, that is where I found an error message strangely enough..

The error message: Screenshot by Lightshot

After it shut down, it stopped on the black screen before the motherboard logo post. I checked the code my motherboard displays on crashes and it has a code of (53).

(50-53) in the handbook means: Memory initializing error. Invalid memory type or incompatible memory speed.

My ram is ddr4 2133mhz, motherboard is asus rampage extreme V rog.


So I rebooted my pc and the thing I saw was a message saying that the overclocking failed press f1 to go into the settings (bios).
So I went into bios and chose "EZ Tuning (overclocking)" I let the board overclock my motherboard automatically.

Before this I have not attempted any overclocking.

 

[gregrocker]

I would not overclock.

Earlier you said you tested http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/105647-ram-test-memtest86.html
for one pass which took 55 minutes? This does not sound right.

Follow the steps in tutorial exactly for testing for at least 6 passes.

Work through the other http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/220165-troubleshooting-steps-windows-7-a.html

 

[dannyk90]

The thing is it over clocks by it's self even without doing anything its just standard.

I shall run a mem test over night then

Already been through the troubleshooting steps thanks

 

[dannyk90]

I was out the whole day so I let memtest run. It ran for 6h40m and had told me it was finished. No errors found.

Also my dns server keeps stopping - rarely though. I have tried different servers and the one I was on before was Google and now its the free open thing that is default for everyone, my friends with these DNSs had no problems like me.

I'm not sure what could be messing with my dns ? - Programs were working fine with internet, just the web browser wouldnt work.

 

[gregrocker]

You'll actually save time doing a diagnostic reinstall - testing performance after install, then after each round of Updates, then after each program install to pinpoint fail.

Use http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/219487-clean-reinstall-factory-oem-windows-7-a.html#post1839164. Wipe the HD first with Diskpart Clean CMD with all others unplugged.

 

[dannyk90]

It can take about 5 days until it will do it again, that would be just too much of a pain to do.

It did it again just before Rust (game) launched, keyboard and mouse lights turned off but screen and pc lights still on.

I have a feeling it could be to do with Samsung SSD magician configuring my system settings, I changed it to best reliability now instead of best performance. I also reseated my graphics card.

 

[dannyk90]

Well its been a week or longer and pc is fine. Looks like I found the culprit !
