Computer hangs at random

[Erkoum]

Hello

 

First I like to apologize at advance as my english might be not so good and some phrases may not make any sense at all but I'll try to do my best.

 

So, few weeks ago my computer started to hang at random times. I'm running AMD Phenom 1090T Black Edition at 3.6GHz, 8GB ram, Nvida GTX 560Ti 1Gb on Asus M5 series motherboard with 900W powersupply (which i bought recently cause I tought my ps is causing hanging as it dropped below 11.3V when gaming). For few days after changing ps everything was okey and I didn' t get any hangs what so ever. I've controlled my temps they are all fine and I don' t have any serious overheating problems even on heavy load.

So far I've done MemTest86+ which didn't show me any erros after several hours of running. I've also tested my HDD with a HDD Scan and also no bad sectors etc ... The only thing I can relate to is just problem started shortly after I've got my new headset Roccat Kave.

The another wierd thing is that on computer management (audio devices) it shows me 5 drivers 1 is Realtek driver which I'm actualy using an then there are 4 High Def drivers ( First I had Nvida sound drivers there but I uninstalled those). Is it possible that those drivers

are causing my computer to hang at random, it really happens when playing, sometimes it happens when i'm browsing a web etc etc. Another funny thing about that is when it starts to hang my sound is going crazy (videos, gamesound). Altough if i press Ctrl+Alt+Del it takes few second and it will show me the page. But my mouse ain' t moving and videos,games are still running on background and all the other apps also. I've checked the logs and everything but nothing dosn' t show me any errors. As i' ve done several different tests is it really possible that my new motherboard has burnt out or something? Or is it possible some of the drivers are making fun of me? I have my old HDD which I haven' t tryd yet but it will be my last thing to try and if that ain' t help I think it' s a motherboard foult. So if anybody have had similar problem with his/her computer I would appriciate if u late me know. And btw I'm running Windows Ultimate x64.

 

If any of you have further questions about my system then let me know and write to this topic please as I'm really frustrated already.

 

Thank you

I dont think the Nvidia HD audio driver will conflict with Realtek, if you have HDMI ports on your graphic card it will installed default by driver setup.

(you can try a clean install (manually) selecting only Display Driver and physX)

and for the crazy sounds, your 560Ti maybe overheating :confused: Brand? Forceware version?

I have GIGABYTE’s GTX 560 Ti, first i tought that myself, but all the temps are fine. Highest I've seen so far is somewhere near at 65-70 at its peak and that about it.

The another wierd thing is that after few restarts (some times it dosnt need restart) my computer is working like a charm. There been few days it hasn' t hanged at all.

But yesterday night again... boom ... and only thing I did is that I started watching Simpsons online. After restart I started platying Guild Wars 2 and nothing happend worked very nicely.

Try getting a registry cleaner and check for registery errors. Those don't cause strange sounds, but for me they can easily cause random hang-ups and theoretically any hang-up or freeze could mess up your sounds. IObit has a free trial on Advanced Systemcare, which you could try.

did you update the BIOS?

please neglect if you dont know how to or already have updated one. try GPUz to find out the current bios you have. You can use MSI afterburner for Software controlled settings

I've done that also. I'm actualy working as IT Specialist and I've been consulting with everyone with that problem and so far I haven' t found the real problem. I've basically updated and checked everything but I appriciate if u guys keep asking stuff

because maybe i've missed something very important.

your mobo bios?

the bios BIOS 1102 shows it will fix hang when using 1090T, Update to 1208

 

and last one is try 295.73 driver and if your card is factory overclocked try reference clocks 822/1644/2000 by using afterburner :thumbsup:
