Screen Freezing.

[CBrooksC]

My screen randomly freezes up some times like if I'm watching youtube it will make the sound of a cd jumping for like 2 seconds and then just freeze on that image. the whole pc like stops. though it is still on. and doesn't BSOD. So I'm having trouble working out what is wrong with my PC. I have Phenom II x4 955 locked at 4ghz. and xfire 6950's.

Thanks.

I have XFX 750watt

Also my temps are 41 for GPU and 23 for CPU thats with fans on full which they usually are.

Also that's just using the pc not gaming.

But these crashes are like random never really when I game

Hard drive issue?

Check your drive with the OEM's testing software. Example - Seatools for Seagate.

Check what mode you are running the drive in. IDE, AHCI etc. Some drives do not like AHCI for example.

I have one seagate (Main, Boot Drive) and My secondary western digital that I record onto and run my games off. They are both 500gb

could you link me to the testing software as I can cant find it.

I ran that test before and it said no errors then someone told me to test each stick individually but 2 of mine are under my cooler (Fennir evo)

I have 4 x 2gb yeah I know. not good but I got given them so I just chuked them in there

Thanks guys this issue seems to be fixed for now. I just changed the power options and stopped the HDD from stop spinning after 20 minutes.

Hope that has fixed it for good =D
