The PC becomes unresponsive and audio repeats continuously until I perform a forced restart.
As the title suggests, things are quite unpredictable. Occasionally it freezes once a week, every couple of days, or even twice daily. The entire display becomes unresponsive and a continuous audio loop appears, forcing me to restart my PC completely. There are no BSODs or any viewer logs recorded. I've attempted to lower the clock speed, ran my CPU setup for over seven hours on Prime95, and performed MemTest86 for eight and a half hours without any issues. Recently, I removed my sound card to test if that was the cause—just using the built-in one. I'm currently running Windows 10 Pro build 1703. Anyone has any suggestions on how to resolve this or what might be causing it? I've been dealing with this since the moment I received these components.
Stinks... Here are a few basic questions. Are you original and stable? Did this occur after setting up the system or later? Are your temperatures normal inside the setup? I assume the CPU is paired with the large cooler, but what about airflow?
times aren't an issue. and this oc definitely works well. i talked about it in the original post.
