Random freezing

Before making any purchase of new parts I always suggest two things be done if possible, have the original component properly tested and/or try swapping in a known good like for like component to see if that works as it should, this helps to avoid possibly purchasing something but still having the same problem afterwards.

Keep the above in mind.

Best I could find here

I will keep in mind. But is there even a way to test PSUs?

What do you think about those?

Which one of those 4 (+1 from you) would you choose?

Got to go out so need to be quick, of the four only the EVGA brand, if the budget is tight and you cannot afford a Gold rated PSU the Seasonic here would be my suggestion before Cooler Master or Thermaltake.

Any update for us Ciocolici?

I’m waiting to receive my money and then I’ll either tale the PC to a Repair shop or I’ll just buy a new PSU.

In the meantime, the freezes are still the same. Nearly everyday.

Apologies for the late reply, had my own disaster to take care, someone driving into the side of my car to be exact

Having a local tech store test your computer is the best option, many will do this for free but some charge a small fee so check with them first, if you tell them that the PSU is the suspected cause and it turns out to be the case they should waive any testing costs if you are willing to purchase a new PSU from them.

Any updates for us?

I’m sorry to hear that.

So, yesterday I took the PC from the repair shop. They also said that the PSU is the cause. But unfortunately this month and the next one I won’t be able to buy a new one, so it had to br after that. At least I now know for sure what to buy. I’ll most likely update this topic after I change the PSU and then update it again after a week or two to say if I got any more freeze issues.

I thank you all for all the help and support so far, we’ll most likely “see” us in 1 and half months. XD

2 days before the last time I have posted here there was an Windows Update. Since then, as of today, I haven’t got ANY crash whatsoever.

I am so damn happy, these whole 2 months, my PC ran without any issues. That proves that the issue was from the windows, but frankly, I don’t care, what I care is that everything’s fine now.

Thank you all for all the help you have provided. The thread can be closed. Thanks a huge lot!
