PC freezing without BSOD

[EvanHays]

Hello.

5 months ago I started getting random freezes during browsing, watching youtube videos. I tried memtest for 12 hours straight, but haven't found any single errors. Tried Furmark, linx 0.6.5 and nothing.
Everything was stable during these tests. But I just replaced memory sticks just to be sure.
And my issue magically gone. I used my PC for 5 months straight, but today I got this issue again:

During watching live stream on twitch.tv my computer just froze on the unusual sky blue screen (not like bsod screen, but just sky blue screen without any text), sound frooze too and I had to reboot manually. PC rebooted but with some delay.

Hello EvanHayes, welcome to the Forums. I will try to help if I can. You had one dump file but it was of little help.

Pleas update your System Specs for me. I need as much Detail as possible with Manufacturer and Model. Please include the PSU and CPU Cooler. Maybe this will help.

Please fill out your System Specs​

Please run Seatools for DOS on your Mechanical Hard drive http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/313457-seatools-dos-windows-how-use.html#Part3

Also, please look in BIOS and give me the values for your +12V, +5V and +3.3V

Also, please monitor your CPU and GPU temps for me.

 

[essenbe]

Also, please make sure your Windows Updates are all installed and go to your Motherboard's web site and update any drivers (MSI Global - The best gaming gears maker in the world).

 

[EvanHays]

Thanks for your reply. I already had all latest drivers from MSI websites.

I don't have any overheating issue. I tested my PC in linx 0.6.5 benchmark with AVX for one hour and nothing happened. This issue occurs randomly.
I had similar issue 5 month ago (random freezing), but I bought I new PSU and issue somehow stopped. Now It's started again so I think PSU wasn't the case. I haven't played any heavy games for past 5 months. Issue started when I bought GTA V for PS, although last time it crashed when I wasn't even in game.

 

[EvanHays]

As for Voltages. In bios they are:

+12 = 12.320
+4 = 5.120
+3.3 = 3.360

 

[essenbe]

Voltages are good.

 

[EvanHays]

I posted my full specs, but for some reason it says that my post need moderator approval.

 

[essenbe]

I'm not sure why that would be. Did you post them in your system specs?

 

[EvanHays]

Oh its already appeared. Could you please check?

 

[essenbe]

It's there, but I think it is not much different than before. Still no PSU, CPU cooler and No Anti virus. You have to have an Antivirus.

 

[EvanHays]

Please look carefully. I listed PSU and CPU cooler. And I don't have any anti-virus

PSU: Seasonic S12G-650
CPU Cooler: Ice Hammer IH-THOR

 

[essenbe]

OK, but this is all I could see.

Sorry. I posted them as separate post:

[essenbe]

No problem. Has there been any change in your computer problems?

 

[EvanHays]

Nope. Last change was 5 months ago - GTX 970

 

[essenbe]

Have you done what was asked in post #2 and 3? Are your problems any better?

 

[EvanHays]

CPU Temp are around 65-75*C degrees. It look like hot, but I'm pretty sure Its fine for i7-4770k.
GPU Temp are max 75*C in Valley Benchmark (60 min test).
I tried Plextool and Seatool. Both report that smarts are fine.

 

[essenbe]

Did you run the extended test with Seatools? That is where the problems will be found if there are any. Also, please make sure your SSD Firmware is up to date.

Are those CPU Temps, at idle? If so, they are way too high. They are not critical but higher than they should be. Any strenuous activity can make the critical quickly.

 

[EvanHays]

Seatools doesn't show any problems after finishing extended test.
Plextool says that I have latets firmware for my SSD
These temps are when I play GTA V.

 

[essenbe]

Ok, lets try Furmark Stress test. ( http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/100356-video-card-stress-test-furmark.html)
Use a good temp monitoring program. Your Temps will climb very high, very fast. If they go too high, stop the test. Run the test long enough for the temps to level out. Also, please post a screenshot of the test before stopping it. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/9733-screenshots-files-upload-post-seven-forums.html
