PC Freezing

Status
Not open for further replies.
Hello,

So I have had my computer for about 3 years and have had very few to none problems with it. In the past 4 months or so I had been having some CPU overheating issues while gaming, which I solved by purchasing a new liquid cooling system as my old pump had died. I replaced that about a month or ago and have had no issues since then. However - in the past 3 days I have been having some weird issues that have progressively gotten worse. It went from my computer turning off while I was away to my computer needed to be restarted about 3-4 times to not freeze before BIOS to almost always freezing before BIOS. To clarify as of right now when I start up my computer neither my mouse, monitor, or keyboard will turn on and will not turn on. However - the fans and LEDs in my computer will still be on. Sometimes I will get lucky and they will work and I can get to BIOS sometimes, but then it will freeze within one minute or so. I can usually never getting to SafeMode however I have gotten to my desktop a couple times but once again it freeze after thirty seconds or so after being there. I have been able to get to my SpeedFan one time and it showed 30-40 degrees Celsius on everything, so I believe I can rule out CPU/GPU overheating ( I never had CPU overheating while I was idle, only when playing games). I not a huge expert on computer but from what I have found this may point to a MOBO issue or possibly a PSU issue. My motherboard makes no beeping sounds on startup either which is weird and hopefully means that's not the issue. I am currently unable to even get into my computer at this point.

Here are the computer specs: http://imgur.com/a/00TaG The only change from that is that the liquid cooling is now Corsair H55 CPU Liquid Cooling

Here is also my MSI Afterburner: http://imgur.com/a/wxmMY

I have cleaned my computer with compressed air inside and out so I highly doubt this is an issue about overheating. I have done a lot of things in the last week of my computers like, defragging my hard drive, cleaning out the registry, checking for virus/malware.

Here are some pictures from within the AMD software.

These are some photos I was able to take from my BIOS a couple days ago.

Thank you so much for anyone that is able to help me in this situation. I will do my best to provide any additional information you may need!
 
Hi WhiteSpheres and welcome to PCHF :)

First thing to rule out is chassis fan issues. I see that your BIOS is not reporting chassis fan RPM / temp. Do you have chassis fans installed?
Thanks! I have 5 fans in my computer including the ones from the graphic card (which is two), I have two for my heat sink (1 in, 1 out), and another near my drivers

The issue is - taking out the HDDs/SDDs, RAM, keyboard, mouse doesn't allow my computer to start either. It's really odd because I started up my computer after not touching it for a couple of days and it started up fine and there were no issues. However - when it set it to sleep mode the computer shutdown and then is having the same issues I was. Having anything just the Graphics Card, GPU, and PSU connected doesn't allow the computer to start and I just get a bad memory error my my motherboard via speaker. If I ever start my computer with the power plugs disconnected from the video card to the motherboard (while having everything else in) my monitor will turn on and display a error message asking for the power to be plugged into the graphics card. I'm not really sure where to go from here as my motherboard doesn't emit very many errors. Having everything in the computer and starting it doesn't cause the motherboard to emit any sound either. If anyone has any other information let me know!
 
Hi,
if you have every thing unplugged and 1 RAM chip in and just graphics card plugged with power hooked to mainboard and graphics do you get post boot screen or beep error code?
