Hi all,
About 6 months ago, I started noticing that my PC was no longer stable. Computer would crash or hang randomly, prompting manual restarts. When this all started occurring, I had not added new hardware or overclocked the system. I ran some stability tests / diagnostics to see if I could narrow down the issue.
Prime95 would detect errors within 10 minutes. Sometimes, system would hand or BSOD during this test.
MemTest86 would detect errors, either immediately or after 4+ hours of running. Sometimes, system would hang or BSOD during this test.
Windows Memory Diagnostics would either pass with no issues or hang for over 12 hours in one spot.
I removed all but 1 stick of RAM and ran these tests again for each stick to find that all sticks would produce similar issues.
In case all my RAM was defective, I used RAM from an old Dell I had lying around but same issues would occur.
I updated some of the drivers I could think of (Graphics, SSD, network)
I swapped out my power supply, removed unnecessary hardware (second graphics card, all but 2GB RAM, speakers, etc.)
System still manages to hang or crash during intensive applications (games) or just while sitting at the desktop.
Any help on this issue would be appreciated.
Thanks
