I mean those yes.
Please answer my other questions.
Oh yeah the testing. I've ran:
MemTest86 (1 hour)
HeavyLoad (45 minutes)
FurMark (40 minutes)
3DMark (Full Benchmark test, around 30 minutes)
None of those crashed me at those times, but I could usually force a PC Freeze within 10 minutes by just playing Overwatch/DOTA2/Rocket League/CS:GO. But now I even randomly freeze in Windows at the moment.
Pleaes follow below instructions, some tests you already ran but I do not know some things so please run them again.
Do NOTHING else while performing a test in Windows, if the system freezes while performing a test make a photo of the test and post this photo please so I know you've at least attempted it :)
Please be aware that I may ask you to run a test again if the system froze while performing a test.
There are some DOS tests, SeaTools for the HDD & MemTest86+, if a freeze happens while these tests are running we have possible causes
- If a freeze with a DOS test occured and you didn't ran the other tests, we cannot rule out the other parts due to the fact that multiple parts could cause trouble.
Warning
If you're overclocking your system, revert back to stock clocks now.
Note
Test the system once the overclock is removed before continuing with the steps outlined below.
Part One: CPU Stress Test
Part Two: MemTest86+ RAM Diagnostic
Part Three: Hard Drive Diagnostics
Part Four: GPU Stress Test
Run Prime95 and/or IntelBurnTest to stress test your CPU. Prime95 - Stress Test Your CPU - Windows 10 Forums & CPU - Stress Test Using IntelBurnTest - Windows 7 Help Forums
Warning
Your CPU temperatures will rise quickly while under this stress test. Keep a keen eye on them and abort the test if overheating occurs.
Make a photo of the result and post it.
Run MemTest86+ to analyse your RAM. MemTest86+ - Test RAM - Windows 10 Forums
Note
MemTest86+ needs to be run for at least 8 complete passes for conclusive results. Set it running before you go to bed and leave it overnight. We're looking for zero errors here. Even a single error will indicate RAM failure.
Make a photo of the result and post it please.
Addition:
If errors show up you can stop the test, remove all sticks but 1 and test this single stick in each slot for 8 passes or until errors show, switch sticks and repeat.
If errors show up and you see them a lot later, no problem, the errors don't affect the test.
Run SeaTools to check the integrity of your HDD. SeaTools for DOS and Windows - How to Use - Windows 7 Help Forums
Run the long test.
Note
Do not run SeaTools on an SSD as the results will be invalid.
Make a photo of the result and post it.
Run chkdsk using option TWO
with parameter /r
Disk Check - Windows 7 Help Forums
Upload the chkdsk logChkdsk Log in Event Viewer - Read in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums
Run HDTune to
- scan for errors, no quick scan but full scan
- check the health,
- benchmark.
It may take some time, but please take the time you need to perform it properly.
When above is done please make screenshots of the following
- the error scan,
- the health,
- the benchmark incl. following
- transfer rate,
- access time,
- burst rate,
- cpu usage.
Run Furmark to stress test your GPU. FurMark - GPU Stress Test - Windows 10 Forums
Note
Run Furmark for around 30 minutes.
Warning
Your GPU temperatures will rise quickly while Furmark is running. Keep a keen eye on them and abort the test if overheating occurs.
Make a photo of the result and post it.
In Furmark you can find a tool called 'GPU-Z' (if you want to install GPU-Z is up to you), when GPU-Z is open click on the 'Sensors' tab, on this tab you can monitor
- the frequency of the GPU,
- the GPU memory clock,
- the temperature,
- the power,
- the load on the GPU,
- Etc.
I would like you to make a screenshot of GPU-Z after you have either cancelled Furmark for any reason or Furmark is finished, post this screenshot in your next reply with the result of Furmark.
Just ran Prime95 for an hour, and Furmark for 30 minutes.

Didn't get any errors as far as I can see.
I then ran Furmark for 30 minutes, didn't freeze:

I'll begin testing the HDD and RAM later tonight when I can leave the PC running for a couple of hours.
Under normal load it's usually 50-59 C, while gaming it goes into 70-80, but under this full load it does indeed go into the 90C range. But according to the nVidia site the maximum temperature is 98C, so even if it is indeed a bit hot it shouldn't be that big of a problem right?
You mean this info right? Version 84.4.36.0.f1 ?
