Recent Problems:
I’ve experienced freezing on my system for several months, often freezing to a standstill. When I disconnect the monitors from the GPU and reconnect them, the display fails to restart. I recently added a second SSD to install Linux Mint. This issue has appeared on Windows, Linux, and even in the BIOS screen. I can identify the freeze by checking the lock screen with a clock display, but the logs show no activity around the time it happens.
Attempted Fixes (none resolved):
- Updated BIOS
- Reinstalled and reverted GPU drivers
- Updated DP firmware for the GPU
- Replaced GPU
- Swapped PS cables to CPU
- Ran memtest overnight for RAM checks (7 passes, no errors)
I suspect the GPU might be outdated and in need of replacement, as it’s around 5 years old. Any guidance or assistance would be invaluable!
The PSU is a [make and model] with an age of [age]. You might consider swapping it with one from a neighbor or friend to test if the problem continues. Additionally, it might help to reinstall Windows 10 onto a spare standalone drive and install drivers manually.
Are you adjusting the performance settings of:
1). CPU (PBO, etc.)
2). RAM (XMP/DOCP/EXPO)
3). GPU (MSI Afterburner, etc.)
If yes, turn off any overclocks and check if stability returns.
I don’t see any reference to your RAM except that it successfully completed Memtest seven times.
How many DIMMs are installed and what is their capacity?
Can you provide the manufacturer and model number?
I recently replaced an old 2600X with 3,000MT/s RAM and turned on XMP in the BIOS. The system started normally and completed two Memtest runs (3 hours 20 minutes), indicating the RAM was set to 3,000 during testing.
But within fifteen minutes of launching any regular application—such as web browsers—the PC would freeze and restart. I resolved the issue by manually adjusting the CL (CAS) value of the RAM from 16 (the default in XMP) to 20. I haven’t experimented with lowering CL to 19, 18, or 17 yet, since I don’t use this setup often. I’m aware the 2600X is not rated beyond DDR4-2933, but I opted for 3,000.
Previously, I assumed passing several Memtest runs meant it was fine, but this time I realized it doesn’t ensure stability.
Although your RAM passed Memtest seven times, if you overclock it, consider reverting to the JEDEC defaults (likely 2,133 or 2,400MT/s).
Or, as you mentioned, the GTX 1080 might be the problem. If you have an older GT 710 or similar GPU nearby, try it out before purchasing a new card. Note: Does your system fail only when connected to a single monitor?
