ran test for a couple of hours.
You need to run the memory test for at least 8 passes. Time means nothing, it is the number of passes that is important.
If you see any errors, you can stop the test because you know there is a problem with a memory stick. You’d then need to test the sticks one by one to figure out which stick (or perhaps more than one) has a problem.Comment

I ran it for 5 passes
I will run it again and go for 8 passesComment

One other thing about the RAM sticks make sure you are putting them in the correct slots. Made sure nothing is loose and all the fans are working?
Did you remove any of the heat sinks?Comment
-
No I have not removed any of the heat sinks. I’ve been making sure that everything is plugged in correctly.Originally posted by RustysComment

Ran the memtest for 10 passes no errors. I have 1 stick of 8gb and 2 sticks of 4gb however the computer only sees 8gb.

Is there something I can run, to scan the pc and tell me why its intermittently freezingComment

Sorry, I have no idea why your computer only sees either the 2 4GB sticks or the one 8GB stick for a total of 8GB.
I’m also not up on what tests you’d run to stress the hardware and discover what is causing the freezing. You’ll have to wait for someone else to post that information.Comment

The only test I have run was the MemTest86+Originally posted by plodr
I have also noticed that it is during the first minute (after booting) or so that the intermittent freezing occurs, after that I have not noticed anymore freezing issues so long as the computer stays running. Perhaps its something that is trying to start up but cannot for some reason.Originally posted by RustysComment

Found this and posting it here to try.
The only thing I could suggest then is to download the latest bios firmware available for your board use the asus renaming tool also provided.
Put the bios file on a usb flash drive.
Take out all of your memory sticks.
Insert the usb flash drive into the designated usb port of the board for the flash back procedure
Press your flash back key on the motherboard and wait for the bios to be flashed or updated from the usb flash drive to the bios.
Once done. Manually reset the bios back to factory defaults via the jumper on the motherboard.
Power the system completely off and insert the memory sticks back into the motherboard.
And power the system up.
I think looking at it, it must be a bug in the bios.
And this is the way I would do it to clear it if the system constantly halts with a memory initialization error, then hangs or boot loops.
Cannot think of much else apart from trying two totally new ram sticks.
I`m presuming it is an ASUS branded motherboard.

After I try to flash the bios, I am going to see if I can rearrange my equipment. I use to have my pc on a stand that stood 5 in of the ground, while my monitors and mixer sat up on the desk. I am wondering if some interference is happening. Which might be cause the static.
If anyone has any opinions please feel free to comment, I could use some suggestions.
Thank YouComment

What is it sitting on now?Comment
-
Due to finals coming up I have been unable to really sit down and try flashing the bios and seeing what will happen. I believe I have gotten rid of the freezing issue, I have not seen it freeze up in a week. The ram issue of only seeing half is still an issue, which I hope the flashing will fix that and I still have an audio static background noise coming through.
Any Comments and suggestions are welcomed.Comment

I have a feeling it may be the mixer. I am wondering if something gave to make it increase in volume
