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 freezing
 
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.

The only test I have run was the MemTest86+

Try running MemTest86+ and see if it reads the RAM as bad. Will need to rung it for several passes. It may pass the first few then fail on the next.

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