PC just froze and a drone sound out of the speakers. Had to hold the button in to restart. Not good eh. Was on the net at the time. Restarted and running ok at this point.

And question is?

I would run sfc /scannow, Malwarebytes, virus scan......maybe more depending on results. Is that what you really wanted to ask? :)

Oh, also look at SMART drive status.

Nothing unusual if it happens once in a while or at least not often. Most grief like that I run into is with Flash in browsers or programs trying to access something they shouldn't. If you run things Popeye told you and all is OK, don't worry.

HW seems fine, If you are using C&Q, try with it turned off, sometimes it can have a lag when trying to switch to higher use mode.

OK, let me clear it, AMD has this feature for long time now, it's SW way of power handling and may not react fast enough if not loaded in memory at the time. C&Q = Cool and Quiet and has caused me a lot of grief specially with even mild turbo or OC.

No change. FFfreezes more than IE with Chrome not so often but when Chrome freezes have to hit the off button and restart. I have checked everything, replaced video card, have run memtest scanned the HDD. Leads me to think its the motherboard, it is just 12 mnths old.

Ok, Formatted HDD and went back to win 8. Everything is now fine. I will get the 8.1 update and see what happens then. I have also not put any of the software i had on prior.

If I may suggest, make a full backup of system disk now while everything's working fine and some other ones as you step further, you can discard all but newest one letter on.

Thanks, will give it a go.
With a full backup like that, you are always 15 minutes to half an hour to back to working system even if HDD croaks, change to SSD or whatever. Just have to keep it current, I do it every month.
