Weird PC problem

kaotikuk · 11 Mar 2015 at 19:32

Hey guys, after some help.. Randomly, seems to be happening more often nowadays my mouse cursor will lock up, and im also unable to use my keyboard, everything is running in the background still, have sound etc but cant do anything with mouse or keyboard and have to hard restart.

It happens in games, and even browsing the web! Just random and really annoying.

PC specs:
i5 2500k oc 4.5ghz
8gb ram
850w xfx power supply
amd 290 tri-x card
crucial ssd with windows on that and then a 1.5tb hdd for storage + games.

cheers

Have tried reconnecting them yea, no luck. Will get ssdlife now as it is a crucial m4

Downloaded the upgrade file for the SSD, but looks like ive already got the latest firmware as it says no SSD to update, and i have the old folder still in my downloads, version number matches?

Ok ran memetest, it froze at 18 minutes on test 10? Didnt go anywhere for 15 minutes so i quit to come check.. is that normal? im guesssing not. There were no errors though.

Yea tried other USB ports. Things is the pc is 3 years old now, so im guessing its hardware somewhere just no idea what! Il try the event viewer when i get home from work tonight. Its just so random, like it wont happen for a week then suddenly it happens 3-4 times in a day.

tried every suggestion but no luck, i had no issue for 3 days, but now its started again. I had my CSGO crash the other day, to desktop then i had bugged sound looping constantly.
Tonight the PC locked up (still hear sound in background but cant do anything) hard reset, literally few minutes in crash again! It did that like 4 times

I dont think it has anything to do with the mouse, deffo a hardware problem somewhere i just dont know what! Its making me want to upgrade but i really dont want to as i think my pc has enough left in it for now! plus no funds!

Hmm there was quite a lot of random stuff,

The Peer Networking Grouping service depends on the Peer Name Resolution Protocol service which failed to start because of the following error:
%%-2140993535

i had that quite often under system around the time. Its the only thign that jumps out to me.

That doesn't sound related.

Try an integrity check.

go to CMD prompt and type in sfc/scannow

You may need to run it as administrator for it to work. There is a possibility that you have corrupt files. Not sure what else it might be

Did that and all is fine. Ahhhh so frustrating. I hate annoying pc problems like this!

thank everyone for the help so far i appreciate it.

I posted this :

regarding that further up, should i try it again?

kaotikuk · 24 Mar 2015 at 11:01

Ok il try running memtest when i go to work, if it crashes again il try it one stick at a time.

kaotikuk · 28 Mar 2015 at 15:05

Hey, So to update, memtest kept crashing, even with one stick. So i raged and bought new pc parts (i wanted to upgrade anyway) . Got a new CPU,mobo, ram and another crucial ssd (256g) + windows 8.1 to start a fresh. However like 15 mins after installing everything it crashed again (i raged even more). BUT im assuming this means its probably my old crucial SSD, so i formatted it, and installed windows on my new SSD instead. So if it happens again now im kind of out of options haha. Im guessing maybe after 3 and a half years my SSD just got faulty? if it is that!
