Solved Random freezes

[Curtanee]

I've recently build my first pc and I'm Currently have a problem every now and then.
The Screens will completely freeze i will get no noise coming through my headset.

I've looked through my events and at the time when it last froze I have these event:
08:10:15 - The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the
system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.
08:10:22 - The previous system shutdown at 08:08:43 on ‎24/‎03/‎2013 was unexpected.
08:10:22 - Audit events have been dropped by the transport. 0

After the Screen freezes I've waited a couple of minutes before and nothing happens so I press the restart button on my Tower.

Can anyone suggest anything that may resolve this issue?

Thank you for taking the time to read my issue and hope that someone can help

In your post you state, "The Screens will completely freeze...", in the second sentence. Further on you state, "After the Screen freezes...". Since that's a conflict, I just want to establish whether or not you have a dual monitor setup; please clarify.

 

[Curtanee]

Yes, I have a dual monitor.
I followed step one on the link that UserNameIssues posted and it seems to have stop so im guessing it must be a program that would start up.

This may have nothing to do with your preent problem but i see you are running AVG. I would strongly recommend that you un-install this A/V and install MS Security Essentials from here:
Microsoft Security Essentials | Protect against viruses, spyware, and other malware

You may or may not have a problem with the video card. Are you using the latest video driver? Also, have you checked "Device Manager" for any identified problems? If there is a probem with anything in the list it will be marked by a "triangle with an exclamation". If something is amiss in "Device Manager", see the following site for a list of codes and their meaning.

I've just downloaded and installed the latest graphics card drivers from the nvidia site and when i tried to load up saints row 3 it froze on the menu.
I have just check my devices in Device Manager and they all appear to be working fine.
its so frustrating

Not sure if this will help but here is the XML for the audit dropped transport event.

Have you tired disconnecting one of the monitors to see if that corrects the problem? I would suggest trying each one on an independent basis with the other monitor disconnected.

I have advised him to do a clean install of his display drivers as he had installed everything in the Nvidia driver package. This is the guide i linked Ultimate 2013 Nvidia Driver Guide by MANIAC-VVV-

I'm probably missing something, but if you did a clean boot, then ts should not be running - only Microsoft stuff should be running. You should use the computer like this for hours and hours to see if it freezes.

Then you reboot again with some 3rd party apps and services allowed to start. Again, you should use the computer like this for hours and hours to see if it freezes.

You keep adding apps until you find the one that is causing the freeze. This could take days to work thru.

Teamspeak is a client gamers use to communicate High quality TeamSpeak2 and TeamSpeak3 servers in England
I won't suggest anything else though thats not in this thread to save confusion.

Just to be clear, I was not directing my last post about why ts was running at you.

The OP should run the computer with a clean boot for quite a while. (Kind of frustrating to do.)

Funny thing: when I saw the OP use the letters ts, I assumed Terminal Server which can have an audio feed to a remote site, but that is rare. It really did not matter what ts meant, because it should not be running yet. When you clarified that ts meant TeamSpeak, I had to laugh. I suspect that there is a bit of an age difference between those using ts to mean TeamSpeak and those using ts to mean Terminal Server.

Originally, Terminal Server was this kind of stuff. Microsoft used the term for Remote Desktop Connections. Any mapped drive from the remote computer back to the local computer still uses "ts" in the path.

More than you ever wanted to know about "ts"

 

[ganjiry]

Yeah i knew it wasn't directed at me, no worries! I just thought it's best to keep it all in the thread to save any mix ups.
You might be right about the ts thing though as never knew about it either but thats due to me not using pc's for long.
I don't know if he tried the clean boot or not but i think he thinks it's solved as he hasn't had a freeze since disconnecting his second monitor which i don't think he has tried connecting agin since the clean driver install. I maybe wrong though.
No doubt he'll be on Teamspeak tomorrow so i'll get him to repost progress.

 

[Curtanee]

I have been using it for a couple of days now and it hasnt crashedso far so im guessing that it been solved with ganji's tip to remove the nvidia programs im not using.
Thank you all for the support

 

[ganjiry]

Glad you got it sorted mate. You can start enjoying it now.

 

[UsernameIssues]

That is good news - no need to keep apps around that you don't use.
