My work PC has started freezing on me.
It started on Friday and it froze, I rebooted about 3 times and it froze each time within a minute or two of rebooting.
Then it seemed okay for about 5 minutes when it froze when trying to move a folder on the desktop.
Rebooted again and it was fine for a few hours.
Later in the day it froze while spotify was on in the background, the music continued playing normally while the screen and keyboard were frozen, but then started to slow down and glitch out, then continue as normal again, then slow down again as if it was struggling.
It was fine all day yesterday then it started doing it again today. It froze when trying to awake from sleep.
Then it froze with a youtube video playing where I experienced the same audio issue as with spotify, and twice since within a few minutes of booting and when trying to compose this post.
Specs:
Windows 7
Core i7 920 Stock
Arctic Freezer 7 Pro
Asus P6T
Seasonic S5-520 GB
256GB Samsung 830
2 x 1TB HDD
nVidia GeForce 9500GT
32GB GeIL Black Dragon 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C11 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit
It’s not particularly hot, so I don’t think heat is an issue, the graphics card is very old though, so could that potentially cause the issue?
The glitching sound makes me think it could the the SSD stuttering or having problems perhaps?
It’s been in this configuration since about November and been working great, primarily used for Outlook, Photoshop, Acrobat and Web.
Is there any way I can maybe access an error log that may help?
Many thanks
