updating Windows and Drivers to the latest version. check Windows Event Viewer for errors or warnings, but there are none related before the freeze happens. run Windows Memory Diagnostic and memtest86, no errors. turn off CSGO Faceit Anti Cheat (I thought it might interfere with my hardware as I only put my computer to sleep and thus it is running for several days in a row). turn off Nvidia Shadowplay/Ingame Overlay. switch GPU (from Asus GTX 660 to Zotac GTX 1070 Mini and back). change windows settings (trying balanced and high performance power plans, disabling PCIe Link State Power Management, increasing time until Hard Disk is turned off). I do not think it is temperature related because the freezes happen on idle. CPU stays under 60 (with Pure Rock cooler and reapplied ARCTIC MX-4 thermal paste) and GPU stays under 75. Aida64, BurninTest, Prime95, Heaven Benchmark, 3DMark). Also, the problem started 3 weeks after I got the PSU. Aida64 System Stability Test stresses all components at once, no problems there). I do not suspect it to be the cause because during all stress tests there was no power shortage (e.g. I have tried pressing Win+Ctrl+Shift+B to restart the Graphics Driver during a freeze on idle, and apparently the screen went off and on again, but most of the times the keybind does not work and it did not fix the freeze anyways. Sometimes I am still able to move the cursor (which is stuttering), and when I try Ctrl+Alt+Del, even my cursor freezes, as well as my keyboard (Caps Lock does not change the LED any more).Īt other times, when playing CSGO, I do not hear sounds any more and shortly after that the graphics freeze (sometimes without a delay). when playing CSGO (on low settings, does not max out system at all). every 1 to 5 days there is a freeze (starting a month ago). 
I have been using RAM slots A2 and B2 for 3 years. I am using a MSI Z370-A Pro Motherboard and a Seasonic Focus GX-650 PSU. However, I have switched up everything (except for my CPU and Mainboard), and I cannot find the cause.Īs an introduction, I have run a UserBenchmark so you can see my system and that it performs normally:
It started a month ago, after I have gotten a new PSU, GPU and CPU cooler and started using Nvidia Shadowplay.
I am struggling to find out whether my system freezes are hardware or software related.
