Random PC freezes all tests but everything works okay. Baffled!
Six days ago I began experiencing problems with my PC, it would freeze. When I say freeze, I mean everything should function properly—music and videos play, programs run, but clicking anything makes it unresponsive. I initially thought the mouse was broken before realizing the issue was deeper. The only way to get any program to work is through the Control Panel and Task Manager, but after a few minutes it behaves the same. I ran a crystal disk check on both my SSD and HDD, and everything came back normal. The Intel CPU diagnostic tool showed no issues, MemTest86 reported zero errors, and a clean install of Windows 10 from the official site on both the SSD and a spare HDD also resulted in the same problem after a day. I’m unsure what else to try—please help!
What's your temperature range? Also, it seems you've noticed more issues with Corsair RAM lately—freezing and crashes. You might want to test it on another system to confirm if the problem persists. If it does, you've identified the issue. Otherwise, it could be related to your motherboard or drivers.
During the freeze, CPU was at 25°C and GPU at 54°C. I don’t have another machine to test, but I wish I did. It seems like the issue might be related to CPU, RAM, or the motherboard. I’ll keep investigating.
