PC Beeping and freezing

Maybe something like this:

Yes! Total overkill! Love it.

It seems my freeze problem didn't stop. I got few freezes days ago, today i removed 1 program and i got freeze again Right now the weather isn't hot, but i still get beep and freeze. Freezes are random, i don't know how can it freeze when i remove program...

 

[TVeblen]

Did you ever do the test to determine if the beep was coming from the PC or the speakers?
See Post #9

 

[MitjaHD]

I'm sure beep comes from PC case not from speakers. I can hear that.

How about looking in Event Viewer? Did you do that? Did you find anything relevant?

I suspect a hardware or driver fault (pure guess). My next step would be to start disconnecting or disabling components, one at a time, while gaming to see if I could isolate a device that causes the problem.

 

[MitjaHD]

I don't kow what to search in event viewer. Also i was on facebook today and i got beep+freeze 2 times... I'm very confused right now. What do you mean with 'disabling components' ?

 

[TVeblen]

The components of your computer are:

• The core components - Motherboard, Processor, RAM, Power Supply, and Video Processor - these you don't disable - (yet!)
• Then the motherboard components: Sound chip, LAN Chip.
• Then the basic components: Hard drives, Optical Drives, Add On Cards.
• Then the core connected components: Keyboard, Mouse, Monitor, speakers.
• Then the USB connected components: Printers, scanners, external drives, WiFi, etc.

You start at the bottom of that list and either disconnect or disable (using Device Manager) each component (device) - one at a time - and test to see if the problem goes away when that device/component is disconnected.
This is a trial and error process to find out which component is causing the problem.


In Event Viewer you look at the items listed under "Critical" or "Error", double click on each one to see all the events under that category, and read the error log to see if anything is mentioned that would give a clue to a specific device or component that is failing often. If the times recorded for the failures roughly match the instances of the freezes then you've got your suspect.

I looked at device manager andi saw i'm missing Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller. Where can i find this driver? I searched in google but i didn't find it :/

What is your motherboard make/model? In fact fill in System Specs - http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/180324-system-info-see-your-system-specs.html

Gigabyte Z77-DS3H

Did you get the drivers from GIGABYTE - Motherboard - Socket 1155 - GA-Z77-DS3H (rev. 1.0)? select windows 7 64bit as OS.

 

[MitjaHD]

I don't know if 'Socket 1155' , i have Intel 7 series Utility DVD with drivers.

Still getting freezes. If i play game rust, and if i open google chrome while rust is loading i usually get freeze. Also today my PC random restarted, without warning, this already happend to me some months ago, i checked event viewer and i saw Kernel-Power Event ID 41, Task Category (63).

The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.

By the way i upgraded windows 7 to windows 10, so i don't know if i can still talk here.

 

[GokAy]

The event logged is a default one for any such shutdown. If this is happening with Windows 10 too, maybe some hardware is faulty.

Did you try my recommendations in a previous post yet?

Try loading defaults in BIOS.
Then perform a clean startup - Troubleshoot Application Conflicts by Performing a Clean Startup
If still get freeze try another user account - User Account - Create

Yes you can still post here, and you should use this tool to get us your bsod dumps per this guide http://www.sevenforums.com/bsod-help-support/96879-blue-screen-death-bsod-posting-instructions.html since you have had a BSOD we might be able to gain more info.

 

[MitjaHD]

I hope this is what you want.

 

[MitjaHD]

Also sound laggs, when pc freeze. For example if it should say 'eye of the tiger' and if it freeze at 'eye' it says: eye eye eye eye eye eye eye eye eye... When freeze is over also sound lag is over. I hope you understand what i'm trying to say.

 

[GokAy]

I have a couple of ideas you can try:
- either disable IEST in BIOS or set min processor state in power options (hopefully same as Win 7 - http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/778-power-plan-settings-change.html)
- download and run HWInfo with sensors only
- click the two opposing arrows icon in lower right to show 2 columns side by side
- once you experience the issue, take a screenshot and post please

Also try disabling the network adapter, and wait to see if it will happen like this (play music to see if it will stutter)

 

[MitjaHD]

Ok I will try this ideas, but it's hard, because freeze is very random, sometimes it doesn't freeze the whole day, sometimes it freeze if i just download something...
You suggested me to set min processor state. I don't understand what i must do. I checked power plan settings, and i saw min is 0% and max is 60%. Is this right? Should i change anything?

 

[GokAy]

Can you post a screenshot of min max? I am not sure if we are talking about the same thing
