My Haswell i7-5930K went funny on me for years. First I tought it was windows itself because I got all the blue screens of death I knew, 6 or 7? But with a fortunate glance at HW monitor I saw my CPU dived to down 225 Mhz sometimes all of a sudden. So I patched it by leaving it in a permanent overclock for years on. Than beginning this year a Windows update seemed to fixed the problem. Wierd stuff. I think it the cache of the CPU was corrupted? (And the temperatures were fine under the Noctua cooler all the time)
Brian - your LGA socket has Pin Misalignment problems. Check your video at timestamp: ua-cam.com/video/_W0r95MNOow/v-deo.html I have had this problem before. Sometimes re-seating the CPU works, sometimes it does not. Tweaking the pin alignment solved the problems for me.
No way. I've been dealing with this problem for months. None of the possible fixes from the internet works. I did clean clean windows install so many times. My laptop was still freezing completely randomly multiple times a day every day. But I replaced paste and now my laptop didn't freeze for week. Thank you so much. You are lifesaver.
I picked up a 3770K and was having similar problems that went away when I swapped to a 2500k. I’ve been puzzled as to what the problem could have been so now I’m definitely going to give delidding and reapplying thermal paste a try! Always love how you fix real world problems and not just slapping new parts together! Enjoy Japan and seeing your son! Well deserved.
Had similar problems, cleaned the whole pc removing dust and then spraying the wd-40 multi purpose spray then reinstalling Windows got the work done. I think the cpu and motherboard were overheating, the north bridge radiator had one screw unscrewed and the cpu thermal paste was pretty dried out. Thanks Bryan for that great content full of good IT knowledge. You make the unrepairable possible to repair :)
I've had an intersting issue with an HD 7870 lately; it was crashing and artifacting at stock settings. But when I bumped the power limit to the maximum, it was completely stable.
Ive had 2 gpus a r9 290 and a gtx 780 ti where the middle powerstates became unstable Fortunately that generation of gpus can be biosmoded and i was able to raise the voltage for those middle core states. You can probably do the same with yours. I believe there are also boost and non boost bioses for the 7xxx series. My 7950s where alot more stabe on a overclocked non boost bios. Look for gpus without the ghz edtion moniker and then look for those bioses on tech power up. As allways your milage may vary
Do you think it's possible that it could have been fixed by the fact that the CPU was re-seated and made better contacts with the pins on the motherboard?
@@techyescity People need to look back over you videos, they would know you'd already have administered Tech yes Lovin to the board and so it had to be something more unusual.
@@techyescity Ah ok. That is one bizarre issue then. I'm glad that you were able to figure it out. Thank you very much for your reply! Keep up the great work!
I've been having random bsod's for a year now, mostly after starting up and reaching my desktop, never while gaming or having my pc on for long. First video that gave me some real insight, gonna try this out and hope I finally fix this mystery. Thanks!
was having the same issues (was getting Event ID 18 WHEA logger errors) with Ryzen 5 3600 setup; randomly restarting on game launch and the CPU is fairly new. so far what has 'fixed' it was setting the BIOS to default, reflashing the BIOS firmware starting from 3 back then one at a time til up to date. also had to rollback the graphic driver to an earlier one. stopped using DOCP RAM settings and just set it to Auto in BIOS. to me it seemed like Asus BIOS updates wasn't playing nice with AMD graphic drivers and any kind of OC tweaking only made it worse as far as RAM goes. like you say temps were normal.
A part of the CPU die was overheating where the temperature sensor wasn't present. Maybe a cache or something and since it was overheating it would throw out errors when accessing it
It's probably a good thing that if anyone got a problem that's rare that it's someone who can actually make it aware to more people just in case someone else has the same issue. I know that I am nowhere near advanced enough to delid a CPU. My last pc that worked until February this year (the parts still work but I basically built a new computer and I'm currently using the GPU that was in it as a placeholder) was experiencing random shutoffs under normal temperatures (although my CPU had idle 78C before I cleaned my pc out and fixed some of the fan orientations but it didn't help). Before I replaced the HDD with a SATA SDD (one of the two parts that survived into the new build) I kept getting blue screened when I'd try to run a particular game. That didn't happen after I installed the new SDD but I would still get random shutoffs even under normal temps and one happened to be when I was restoring my image to the new drive. I ended up chalking it to aging hardware and just building a new budget PC. Of course I ended up kind of overspending (while at the same time not because of a gift card) on a new PSU thinking that was the issue at first but at least the PSU and drive found their way into the new build.
This been pretty interesting. I got a simular problem with an Amd A8 a while ago. The PC kept shutting off and rebooting randomly. Already cleaned everything up (mobo ram and cpu) but the problems stayed. I might try delithing the cpu and see if I can replace the paste on the die itself. Thanks for the vid Bryan, and enjoy your stay in Nippon ;)
I have that same problem at present. It's an HP Pavillion 510-P127C with the AMD A12-9800 that I'm trying to fix and flip and I've checked the ram and took the CPU out and put it under magnification to check for bad pins and cleaned and repasted it. It still crashes with BSOD cycling on Windows startup, while using Heirens recuse USB and even in the BIOS screen. My next step will be to replace the PSU with a known good one and see it that's the trick.
I had a troubleshooting nightmare recently. My fiance's i5 8400 rig started crashing all the time. Figured out that the CPU wasn't stable at stock voltage anymore. First time I've ever had a degraded CPU. I'm just hoping it works for a good while with the adaptive voltage bump I gave it.
I have a i7 2600k with 32 Gb Ram with a Intel Extreme Dp67BG Motherboard and a rm1000x corsair psu and I've ran into random shutdowns recently. I have ran multitude of tests , first memtest64 , then cinebench r23 as well has hwinfo checkup on cpu , gpu and motherboard temps ... with a mix of gpu cpu loads . The conclusion - I have two Gtx 1070's and sometimes they cause a random shutdown ( though separately they work 100% and all slots also work fine ) I have found that If I use the second and first gpu at the same time it gives problems and shut down but if I only use one at a time it still works fine - I still cant find a solution to this but I manage to work around it ( also SLI works fine with no crashes weirdly enough but separately working has random shut downs) and I have used 4 gpu's off the 1000 Watt psu before with no Problems so its not the power supply . Recently I had some random shutdown for a different reason popping up and it was one of my ssd sata data cables causing the trouble.
I had my system, a Dell Desktop XPS 8940, 32 Ram, 8 Gig NVidia 3060 RTX Ti, for over a year without any problems. I always did my updates from Dell. My last update from Dell included at least 15 various upgrades. The update went smoothly, then a week later the system would shut down randomly without warning, I could be logged in for a minute, 15 minutes, or an hour, then crash. I resolved the issue by running sfc / scannow at a command prompt while logged into Windows, then chkdsk /f /r via a command prompt in windows, the next time you reboot the computer, chkdsk will run a repair the system. this worked for me, good luck.
I upgraded from an i7 3770 PC about a month ago. I've been running my socket 1155 computer since I bought it new as a prebuilt in 2012. I'd upgraded it a lot over the years but realised that sooner or later it would fail me and probably at the worst possible time. So I bought a new AM4 motherboard, Ryzen 1700, 16gb of ram along with a new case and put my GPU, PSU, fans and SSDs into the case. After watching this video I'm really glad I made the upgrade.
I remember getting so frustrated trying to solve this in my pc for days I ended up changing the power supply swapped the GPU and then I realized the tv had something wrong with the hdmis never in my life did I expect those symptoms from a bad tv 🤦♂️
Oh my gosh, I didn't know there was thermal paste also inside the CPU, so, replacing only the paste ON the CPU each year has no so sense if we don't replace it also IN the cpu
Really strange issue for me (i'm a 25+ year tech to boot) SUPER intermittent my display would go black , system would be running and I could shut down and recover. I could go MONTHS with no issues. Then I would get the same issue but when I rebooted I would get no video at all. system would boot and I could shut it down fine. Again weeks or months between issues. Then about a year into this it started to get much worse. I really thought it was my 3070 (hence why I was babying it so long) but after some real troubleshooting and a new motherboard, it turned out to be the power supply. New 750w 80+ Gold and no issues since. I was going to get a new Card when I decided to try the PSU (had an old psu) Never would have though.
Yes, be careful of assumptions. As a computer techie you at least have components to swap out. I had terrible problems with my first PC and sent it back to Viglen who said they'd fixed it and sent it back to me. In the end it was a loose molex connector pin on the main hard drive. Simply squeezing the sockets with some pliers to tighten them up sorted it out.
I just ran into this issue on my AMD Ryzen 5700G 32GB DDR4 system. It is a MinisForum mini PC, that packs some punch. It was working fine, then moving into a new office, it all seemed good... until gaming. Standard operations worked fine, movies, browsing, office work, even simple 2D games... it was just 3D gaming where I would get an unexpected reboot, error 41. I reinstalled my OS and some games, and of course, ensured that the OS and Device Drivers were current. Same issue, reliably. When the 3D kicks in, it reboots. Temperatures are all good 50-60C. Well, long-story short (too late), I found out that I just had too many devices plugged in to my power connections. It wasn't an issue with my PC at all, not with the hardware, not with the software. The PC was unable to pull the power it needed for that type of processing, so it rebooted. I plugged in just the necessities into the surge protectors and it is all 100%. Thanks for your thought process here. It got me on the right track, though it was a different cause than yours. Have a good one!
This informative video is why I subscribed to this channel. I have that same problem at present. It's an HP Pavillion 510-P127C with the AMD A12-9800 that I'm trying to fix and flip and I've checked the ram and took the CPU out and put it under magnification to check for bad pins and cleaned and repasted it.

when I was fine tuning the overclock on my X58 X5675 @4.53Ghz, DDR3 @1969, North Bridge Clock 3740.9 MHz it would BSOD and rightfully so, but it got to the point where everything was working great except Fortnite would crash and BSOD, so I used DDU and clean installed the Nvidia driver and that fixed the problem
Similar issue - after many many tries it got fixed after updating the SSD firmware. I had no idea that this was even a thing. A friend of mine still doesn't believe me and taunts me to this day.
My Haswell i7-5930K went funny on me for years. First I tought it was windows itself because I got all the blue screens of death I knew, 6 or 7? But with a fortunate glance at HW monitor I saw my CPU dived down to 225 Mhz sometimes all of a sudden. So I patched it by leaving it in a permanent overclock for years on. Than beginning this year a Windows update seemed to fixed the problem. Wierd stuff. I think it the cache of the CPU was corrupted? (And the temperatures were fine under the Noctua cooler all the time)
Windows Memory Diagnostic Tool did not find any problems with my brother's 16gb ddr4 kit, he continued using the machine with all kinds of problems for months, got so bad he just couldn't use the machine for more than 5 minutes without a bluescreen. He gave the machine to me, I ran the same test, no problems, then I did a memtest86, and ERROR ERROR after less than a minute into the test. The memory was faulty, replaced under warranty, system worked fine after that. Do NOT trust Windows' memory test if it says your memory is okay.
I had the same thing happen and, at first, even memtest86 didn't detect the fault in my RAM. But I suspect it was a batch of faulty controllers the mfg used on the modules and would occasionally just stop working. If the controller stops working then Windows can't even give you a BSOD like it does when the memory gets corrupted. The screen just goes blank. it is as though you simply reached in and pulled out the RAM while it was running. Yours probably had bad memory chips.
Re. SSD's - if you're someone who does a lot of video and/or audio editing you can wear out them out in months. Perhaps surprisingly, audio in particular - 24 bit, high sampling rate files can be huge and editing software will often create multiple undo copies. I'm not a pro but I do a lot of work meticulously digitising and restoring analogue audio, and a few years ago saw a new 500GB drive drop to 98% *in less then a month* (using a small temp/scratch disc of two older, 90GB SSDs in RAID 0 and an HDD as the destination for the completed projects). Until then I had no idea that write endurance was so much lower than older generations of SSD. People used to fret about it 10 years ago when NAND had 3000 writes-per-cell endurance (like the two I just mentioned - both 10 years old, my system drive for nearly 8 years but still at 98%), yet consumer drives are now *a tenth* of that (but certainly aren't usually typically 10 times the size). I now use three SSD's (two 500's a 1TB) which I bounce data between when editing (along with several offline HDD's for archiving) and keep a wary eye on usage.
Had a similar issue with my pc crashing、but it started crashing so frequently that it would turn the pc off instantly after loading Windows。Turns out the gpu was the issue。Every pc I put the gpu into、 would get it's drive corrupted to a point were I would have to re-install Windows、since Windows repair wouldn't work。I wasn't able to resolve the issue because I couldn't go into Windows recovery mode and all hardware fixes failed。I tried cleaning it、new thermalpaste ect and the gpu was visually in good condition but in the end I had no idea what the issue was。The gpu was a gtx 970 from EVGA。
Thank you so much for this video, my pc would for some reason crash when playing fortnite and other games, and thanks to you, i finally fixed it and it doesn't happen anymore!!
For my personal stuff I only use Samsung M.2's or 2.5" SSD drives.. The Magian software is great and cloning is so easy too. It's worth the extra $20 bucks $50 even on more storage. I was on Samsung on my last PC and that 2.5" 850 EVO and it is still being used for gaming storage in that PC, I am about to sell.. People go on about PSU's n they will buy the cheapest M.2 they can find though and go with what ever that is for a gaming build.. Also I found out with crucial a long time ago that a warranty is only as good as the company it's self.. This was back when SATA SSD's had first came out. I think this was their MX250 or something like that.. Well it went bad and I think back then you only got like a 3 year warranty, on SSD drives. Now a day's it's more like 5 to 10 years.. But anyway it was a 3 year and it had only been out like 10 months, it was their drive clearly from the MX250 on it, and it went bad after like 9 months.. Crucial shipped it back too me in a box dead! Since then, I have only used Samsung Drives and haven't had any issues with any builds since then.. I am just 1 person who made sure at least 10 other people knew not to buy Crucial drives or memory, And that still didn't hurt them.. People out there swear by them..
I think it was the reseating issue only, I had a FX 6300 that somehow managed to bend a pin (later it broke while trying to straighten it but it was not an important pin luckily), this bent pin put a scratch between 2 cpu socket pin holes and I started getting weird BSODs esp. regarding RAM which were otherwise working fine, figured that due to the scratch maybe the other CPU socket pin hole was getting short, just carefully reseating the CPU would stop the problem
I can't tell from the video, did you replace the adhesive on the cpu or did you leave it like that? Also off topic, since you dabble so much into second hand markets, how do you select reliable PSUs to put into builds for PC's that you are going to flip, so that you have peace of mind that it won't explode the second it goes into the customer's hands
Dang I had the same critical process issue too but I believe it was the alien ware software but maybe the heat spreader paste is mucked too so worth a shot for future issues lol.
I was planning to upgrade my LGA1155 motherboard from a Sandy Bridge processor to Ivy Bridge but after watching this video I will stick with Sandy Bridge.
I had a similar problem last year, it turned out to be the cpu cooler mounting pressure was too tight and caused instability or something idk, just loosened the screws a bit and it was fine from then on
That's the risk you run if you try to budget on a cooler. There is something called a plastigage you can use to verify you have the correct mounting headroom on your cooler. It is also possible you didn't install the bracket correctly, or you put gorilla torque on the screws. This is why I have a Wraith Max on my 2600 and a Wraith Prism on my 5600X. Since I undervolt for longevity, they provide plenty of cooling and I don't have to wonder if they fit properly, unlike so many of the aftermarket coolers on the market. They also have a copper thermal interface. It is really just better to fork out the money for a D15 or Arctic AIO if you are going to overclock and stick with OEM coolers if not. Although annoying to install, the spring loaded stirrup clasp on the Ryzen coolers I have is the safe way to go because the spring is designed to provide just enough pressure. At least you know they won't crack the die from too much mounting pressure. And a good thermal compound makes anything more than "enough to be secure" pointless.
I've had exactly this problem with my Thinkpad T430s (with I7-3320M), ever since I bought it in 2012. I never found out what the problem was. Same thing with a second-hand Ivy Bridge HP Desktop, which I tried to use as a media center PC with Ubuntu. They just gave me a nasty look when I complained that it sometimes reboots itself and told me they can't reproduce the issue. I also had similar issues with an Ivy Bridge HP laptop. My two Haswell desktops never had this issue.
I was so excited with my new build and I’ve tried everything I can think of, including turning off all the ASUS and Intel “tuning features” ….. unbelievably depressing… can’t afford to buy new parts to swap…. Really shitty… …and this de-lidding thing… unfamiliar and uncomfortable with trying and ruining my chip and board if they aren’t already somehow.. yea, this is my worst nightmare… no clue what to do… My parts are new gen, too… not even remotely replaceable
i had similar problems with my old i7 3820. I went into bios and disabled anything referring to "spread spectrum" (whatever that was) and it solved the issue, at least for a while The old Corsair 750w PSU I had apparently was having issues (it's so old it doesn't have a 80+ rating). Swapping the PSU with a new one solved everything, but I still have the old Cosair PSU and it still works, and it seems to work fine on lower-end builds, but I try not to use it for anything long term.
I've had the strangest problems occur recently.. my pc has been running great for about a year and a half, I upgraded my gpu about 3 months ago.. I had a windows update that caused my pc to crash when playing games and one of the crashes was so bad that it corrupted my user profile.. I fixed well thought I fixed it finally after wiping all the graphics drivers and starting fresh it ran great for another week and now it's doing the same thing again.. im almost wondering if it's cpu related I have a ID liquid aio and i always felt the the cpu temp was a little higher than it should be.. I appreciate this video cause it's got me thinking maybe I have worn out the cpu with bad cooling over the corse of a year and some change
Since you discovered what the fix was and it's limited to a few cpus, maybe you should put that somewhere (description/tags/title) so SEO can pick it up so some poor soul 5 years from now who's not as smart as you can find it.
My computer was giving BSOD crashes a whole lot about a month ago. Especially when installing games or transfering files to an external SSD. So I reseated my ram first which didn't fix the problem , then reseated my NVME drive. I haven't had any crashes since ten
Pc crashing randomly while playing valorant. Sometimes bluecreen, sometimes hang even while using ms word. All parts replaced but that didn't fix. I fixed it by changing the motherboard bios settings IDE to AHCI then save, then formated it with a new windows 10.
The strangest problem I have seen recently is a Ryzen 7 3700X with a dead memory channel. Dual channel memory installed correctly and the system did not post. Single stick installed and it booted. dual stick installed incorrectly booted but with bios warning of memory installed correctly. Determined it was a bad memory channel on the CPU when I swapped the CPU to a board where memory channels were swapped positions and the problem followed.
damn i have never ever heard that deliding might fix instability issues on stock setup, probably not many people tried fixing it that way either, but it feels like it fixed a symptom and not the root cause, but again im probably wrong but thats a super weird fix, enjoyed the content as always :)
Good video....sister has terrible problems atm with her 2 year old build but yesterday we used windows own diagnostics tool for ram and straight away errors were found so its off to the store to buy new memory...disappointed because the memory is corsair vengence ddr4 and being a decent make i really think that it lasting only 2 years is a bit crap
I'd recommend cleaning the RAM properly first and installing them back into the motherboard when her memory sticks are dry. Errors usually happen because of that.
I had a similar problem with a Dell optiplex I had for a while. I checked everything I could, I tried all the solutions, but still got BSODs. I think it was the same exact issue!
i had this same issue with a 6700k. im gessing the stress from moving the pc or something else like vibration from you car caused the thermal paste to crack up or something making air pockets. use liquid metal and glue it back on cause its a bitch when cleaning
I had a bunch of crashing a few days ago. First games, then black screen with cursor, then full BSODs. Turned out system was unstable with my memory clocked too high. 11400F with 3200MHz just didn’t work. I put in a 11700 and it worked fine with the XMP profile.
Brian had the same problem for several weeks now, I also thought the psu then one day I swapped out the cooler then it stopped then I swapped back to my cooler than the issue appeared again. so I repasted the CPU and works better and my i7 2600 is running at 4ghz so i dint think the heat would be that back
omg. I am having random crashes in my games. Sometimes I spent 2 days without issues and then the whole PC freezes, it disconnects all my peripherals and then the freezing comes. Then I have to hard reset the PC. Sometimes it happens 3 times in a row and then again at the next day. I ran every test, updated all my drivers. But I have been scared of checking the CPU. This is a new pre-built PC with a Ryzen 5700X and I don't want to return the machine.
Our issues for our PC are similar. My PC would freeze and when I would press the restart button it would just shutdown instead and then turn on by itself, then sometimes the blue screen of death would pop up. I never tried checking the thermal paste and I think it might be the problem.
Did that fix it my pc would be good for 30 min to an hour then it would freeze say it found an issue restart and then go into a black screen don’t know what to do
@@Hector-st3sh it might have something to do with your ram sticks. If the issue still persists like it going blue screen of death then your best chances are to check your CPU for sure.
@@RM22201 yo so I ended up getting a test cpu from best buy it wasn’t the issue tested the ram again dead stick for some reason the first time I tried it each stick worked in each slot but this time one leads to automatic blue screens hoped that helped
When this happened to me cleaning ram fixed it for me (it also passed the memory check test) and reinstalling windows will make it do away for few months
Wow that's crazy. You'd think they'd have a temp sensor located on all the hottest key parts of the CPU so monitoring tools can see it, but I guess not. Good find.
Hi. I have a similar issue but my PC only crashes when gaming It's a 8yr old PC and It's never done that before I have tried absolutely everything to fix it.Updated all the drivers/Windows you name it. The only thing I can think of Is once the GPU is under load that either the PS isn't giving it enough power or the GPU is just failing. OH and I have zero heat issues. And It might just be time to retire the dinosaur.
Rgb software is becoming increasingly an issue to! Its like this theres one instal one package, but it contains other brands RGB like bloatware! So not only do you get what you need on the install, but other brands too! And you only had the one install! If you didnt do a custom install or more often than not theres only one install, youre putting in software that you dont even know about really at the end of the day. There was a recent issue relating to RGB of a certain brand that was part of one of these packages that was deemed to not only be unnecessary but also a cause of potential threat. On a whim I checked to see if my system had it and YEP not only that it had a another version for my keyboard! Both totally irrelevant and only a risk to stability and security while using extra disk space... sheesh .. eye opener that one..
I have been having something familiar with my pc i7 3820. If i left the computer without touchinh it for some time thr image freezes and i have to restart the computer. Make a full clean, changed the thermal paste, put a new cpu cooler and once in a while it freezes if i dont touch it!
Having issues with 10850k 3090. 32gb ddr4. Tried new ram, gpu, and windows. sometimes blue screen, sometimes games just tabout and close. Thought win 11 would fix this along with the alternative gpu, and, ram.
I have a very weird problem for almost a year now. My pc crashes and boots right back up but the catch is it only does that while on low usage like watching a movie, using just chrome things like that or when idle. Iv tried so many things i cant even recall all of them so damn frustrating...
I have a very similar issue with a computer I built myself. It works great and goes days without issues sometimes even weeks but randomly the screen will go black and the computer crashes. The only thing is the tower is still running as if nothing happened. If I power off the computer and boot it back up then it works perfectly fine until the next random crash which could be a few hours or again weeks. Besides trying to replace parts are there any tips on where I could start troubleshooting this issue. I never get the Blue screen of death. No other issues with the computer. No specific activity causes the crash. Sometimes happens while watching youtube or even just typing on a google document.
@@jonationnougat9785 Not yet, still need to take my cpu out and reseat it, but I keep worrying Ill destroy my computer. Rather just deal with the random crashes since they really don't happen that often.
I had a bizarre problem, with my desktop recently, that I could not figure out. It refused to boot to a the internal SSD and even install an OS on it. USB booting was fine. I removed power to all other drives I had inside. Still the same. Left only the SSD. And all I could deduce was either a faulty SATA cable or port.
Oftentimes you think it is the CPU or the MB when it is really the RAM. Random crashes was the symptom I got with some bad memory. It started out once in awhile and I just blamed it on going right to the edge on system tuning because I was running a 2070S which is just a bit too much GPU for a R5 2600. But I backed off on the tune and the crashes just became more frequent. Eventually after periodically testing everything for several weeks, the RAM finally started showing bad on the memtest and I RMA'd it. It was a cheaper brand - V-Color and I was surprised they even replaced it because manufacturers of budget parts have been known to just effectively have no customer service to speak of. Based on my experience a lot of people probably overlook memory because the test comes back good. Prebuilt gaming PCs tend to come with the cheapest GPUs. Companies like Dell and HP make their own extra-cheap versions with reduced power conditioning and poor cooling. I definitely wouldn't assume the MB was bad just because the GPU later died. It probably died from running too hot in a case with poor cooling. On the other hand, Delta and Lite-On OEM PSUs have been known to outlast the rest of the system. Last year, I repurposed a 12 year old Delta 305W PSU from an Optiplex to run a GTX1650 that was mining Ravencoin and later Vertcoin for about 9 months. It still works.
i got my first pc 4 month's ago and i have not had 1 solid session with it. it will give me this weird crackling audio(which i cannot find another video that talks and give an example of) at the same time will make my game stutter hard, fps drops and eventually it will just restart itself. weird thing is is that i took it back where i got it built and it worked fine? passed all the tests and didnt shut off or stutter 1 time?? then the next day i plugged it in and it worked for like 5 hours then it started the whole bs again?? im sick of pc already
Havent watched the video. Guys if your PC suddenly freezes and doesnt respond to any inputs, making you hard reset the pc. (Sometimes it bsods with kernal issues.) Before going down the rabbit hole of checking every piece of hardware (ram, cpu, gpu, mb et.), just try turning off cpu c states. Ps: if your pc gets shutdown by power outage, if it is turned off for a long time and the cmos battery is low, check if the bios reset itself. If thats the case turn off cpu c states again. Every time
I've had a problem with my PC blue screening because I routed my peripherals through my monitor instead of directly to the PC itself. BTW, I couldn't find firmware for my monitor either
I was getting irregular black screens a few weeks back. It was hard to diagnose as I was messing with open source software that controlled my nzxt grid fan and rgb controllers. I could sometimes make it happen if I tried using Blender as well which was odd. Getting whea errors and some event Id showing up in event viewer. I'm on a Ab350m pro4 with 3700x Absolutely no idea what happened. I think I checked for further windows updates, it downloaded something and then it was gone. Very weird.
My PChas been doing weird things when my dad just Flipped the cpu and check something but I dont think he moved anything inside. After that my pc started having glitch screens then crashing my pc(no blue screen of death just straight out turns off my pc) but sometimes I have the blue screen of death. Then next thing my monotor cant connect to the pc at times when I open it. Im pretty scared that some of my files might be corrupted if this happens for a while.
I've been having a similar conundrum with my PC shutting off/crashing but it only happens with Star Citizen and not any other game, if I try to relaunch the game after the first crash I get the blue screen.
CPU reseating as mentioned in the comments is definitely something to try before hand, but this was definitely the CPU - IHS paste!
Very weird problem indeed, Did you not substitute the glue ? Or that's something that you don't do when reseating a cpu? Thanks Brian
My Haswell i7-5930K went funny on me for years. First I tought it was windows itself because I got all the blue screens of death I knew, 6 or 7? But with a fortunate glance at HW monitor I saw my CPU dived to down 225 Mhz sometimes all of a sudden. So I patched it by leaving it in a permanent overclock for years on. Than beginning this year a Windows update seemed to fixed the problem. Wierd stuff. I think it the cache of the CPU was corrupted? (And the temperatures were fine under the Noctua cooler all the time)
Can you also do tutorial to delid and relid the CPU safely and precautions everyone should take bro.
Brian - your LGA socket has Pin Misalignment problems. Check your video at timestamp:
ua-cam.com/video/_W0r95MNOow/v-deo.html
I have had this problem before. Sometimes re-seating the CPU works, sometimes it does not. Tweaking the pin alignment solved the problems for me.
It fixed playing for me but when I dowoad something it keeps crashing
No way. I've been dealing with this problem for months. None of the possible fixes from the internet works. I did clean clean windows install so many times. My laptop was still freezing completely randomly multiple times a day every day. But I replaced paste and now my laptop didn't freeze for week. Thank you so much. You are lifesaver.
same i do everytime eeryday
I picked up a 3770K and was having similar problems that went away when I swapped to a 2500k. I’ve been puzzled as to what the problem could have been so now I’m definitely going to give delidding and reapplying thermal paste a try!
Always love how you fix real world problems and not just slapping new parts together!
Enjoy Japan and seeing your son! Well deserved.
@Thomas Cotton already did that multiple times. Even tried the 3770 on a different mobo.
Hi did the delidding work and solve the random crashes?
Had similar problems, cleaned the whole pc removing dust and then spraying the wd-40 multi purpose spray then reinstalling Windows got the work done. I think the cpu and motherboard were overheating, the north bridge radiator had one screw unscrewed and the cpu thermal paste was pretty dried out. Thanks Bryan for that great content full of good IT knowledge. You make the unrepairable possible to repair :)
What did you spray with the WD40? The motherboard? Do you have to avoid any areas like connectors?
Re-seating the CPU also could very well fixed it.
I've had an intersting issue with an HD 7870 lately; it was crashing and artifacting at stock settings. But when I bumped the power limit to the maximum, it was completely stable.
Ive had 2 gpus a r9 290 and a gtx 780 ti where the middle powerstates became unstable
Fortunately that generation of gpus can be biosmoded and i was able to raise the voltage for those middle core states. You can probably do the same with yours.
I believe there are also boost and non boost bioses for the 7xxx series.
My 7950s where alot more stabe on a overclocked non boost bios.
Look for gpus without the ghz edtion moniker and then look for those bioses on tech power up. As allways your milage may vary
Do you think it's possible that it could have been fixed by the fact that the CPU was re-seated and made better contacts with the pins on the motherboard?
I think so. It's a lot more common issue. I have even seen oxidation on socket pins.
at 6:54 you can also see that some pins aren't perfect
Nah definintely not tried it quite a few times, it was definitely the paste.
@@techyescity People need to look back over you videos, they would know you'd already have administered Tech yes Lovin to the board and so it had to be something more unusual.
@@techyescity Ah ok. That is one bizarre issue then. I'm glad that you were able to figure it out. Thank you very much for your reply! Keep up the great work!
Loved it when you danced in front of the screen.
I've been having random bsod's for a year now, mostly after starting up and reaching my desktop, never while gaming or having my pc on for long. First video that gave me some real insight, gonna try this out and hope I finally fix this mystery. Thanks!
was having the same issues (was getting Event ID 18 WHEA logger errors) with Ryzen 5 3600 setup; randomly restarting on game launch and the CPU is fairly new. so far what has 'fixed' it was setting the BIOS to default, reflashing the BIOS firmware starting from 3 back then one at a time til up to date. also had to rollback the graphic driver to an earlier one. stopped using DOCP RAM settings and just set it to Auto in BIOS.
to me it seemed like Asus BIOS updates wasn't playing nice with AMD graphic drivers and any kind of OC tweaking only made it worse as far as RAM goes.
like you say temps were normal.
Having the same issue with mine at present - an old xeon E5450 chip, so definitely going to give this a try many thanks for your knowledge 🤓
delidding with a tripod is the kind of content you can only get here
amazing MacGyvering bryan
Wow!!! That’s a great catch B-Ry!!! I’m about to de-solder and solder on a new BIOS on my X79 and X99. It’s an SOP-8 chip. Praying this works!!!
A part of the CPU die was overheating where the temperature sensor wasn't present. Maybe a cache or something and since it was overheating it would throw out errors when accessing it
It's probably a good thing that if anyone got a problem that's rare that it's someone who can actually make it aware to more people just in case someone else has the same issue. I know that I am nowhere near advanced enough to delid a CPU. My last pc that worked until February this year (the parts still work but I basically built a new computer and I'm currently using the GPU that was in it as a placeholder) was experiencing random shutoffs under normal temperatures (although my CPU had idle 78C before I cleaned my pc out and fixed some of the fan orientations but it didn't help).
Before I replaced the HDD with a SATA SDD (one of the two parts that survived into the new build) I kept getting blue screened when I'd try to run a particular game. That didn't happen after I installed the new SDD but I would still get random shutoffs even under normal temps and one happened to be when I was restoring my image to the new drive. I ended up chalking it to aging hardware and just building a new budget PC. Of course I ended up kind of overspending (while at the same time not because of a gift card) on a new PSU thinking that was the issue at first but at least the PSU and drive found their way into the new build.
Huh, didn't know cpu's themselves had thermal paste inside the lid. Good to know for the future. Thanx for the informative video again Brian. :)
Most of the cpus nowadays use microsaldering, do not try to open your processor of you are not sure you can de lid it
as Bryan suggested, most CPUs are now soldered. But if you're interested you can look into delidding kits and delid CPUs.
This been pretty interesting. I got a simular problem with an Amd A8 a while ago. The PC kept shutting off and rebooting randomly. Already cleaned everything up (mobo ram and cpu) but the problems stayed. I might try delithing the cpu and see if I can replace the paste on the die itself. Thanks for the vid Bryan, and enjoy your stay in Nippon ;)
I have that same problem at present. It's an HP Pavillion 510-P127C with the AMD A12-9800 that I'm trying to fix and flip and I've checked the ram and took the CPU out and put it under magnification to check for bad pins and cleaned and repasted it. It still crashes with BSOD cycling on Windows startup, while using Heirens recuse USB and even in the BIOS screen. My next step will be to replace the PSU with a known good one and see it that's the trick.
I had a troubleshooting nightmare recently. My fiance's i5 8400 rig started crashing all the time. Figured out that the CPU wasn't stable at stock voltage anymore. First time I've ever had a degraded CPU. I'm just hoping it works for a good while with the adaptive voltage bump I gave it.
It sounds more like your VRM´s are degrading.
I had to fix my PC today. Just over a year old EVGA 850 Watt gold blew a transistor. Glad nothing else went with it.
I have a i7 2600k with 32 Gb Ram with a Intel Extreme Dp67BG Motherboard and a rm1000x corsair psu and I've ran into random shutdowns recently. I have ran multitude of tests , first memtest64 , then cinebench r23 as well has hwinfo checkup on cpu , gpu and motherboard temps ... with a mix of gpu cpu loads . The conclusion - I have two Gtx 1070's and sometimes they cause a random shutdown ( though separately they work 100% and all slots also work fine ) I have found that If I use the second and first gpu at the same time it gives problems and shut down but if I only use one at a time it still works fine - I still cant find a solution to this but I manage to work around it ( also SLI works fine with no crashes weirdly enough but separately working has random shut downs) and I have used 4 gpu's off the 1000 Watt psu before with no Problems so its not the power supply . Recently I had some random shutdown for a different reason popping up and it was one of my ssd sata data cables causing the trouble.
I had my system, a Dell Desktop XPS 8940, 32 Ram, 8 Gig NVidia 3060 RTX Ti, for over a year without any problems. I always did my updates from Dell. My last update from Dell included at least 15 various upgrades. The update went smoothly, then a week later the system would shut down randomly without warning, I could be logged in for a minute, 15 minutes, or an hour, then crash. I resolved the issue by running sfc / scannow at a command prompt while logged into Windows, then chkdsk /f /r via a command prompt in windows, the next time you reboot the computer, chkdsk will run a repair the system. this worked for me, good luck.
I upgraded from an i7 3770 PC about a month ago. I've been running my socket 1155 computer since I bought it new as a prebuilt in 2012. I'd upgraded it a lot over the years but realised that sooner or later it would fail me and probably at the worst possible time. So I bought a new AM4 motherboard, Ryzen 1700, 16gb of ram along with a new case and put my GPU, PSU, fans and SSDs into the case. After watching this video I'm really glad I made the upgrade.
I remember getting so frustrated trying to solve this in my pc for days I ended up changing the power supply swapped the GPU and then I realized the tv had something wrong with the hdmis never in my life did I expect those symptoms from a bad tv 🤦♂️
omg was it actually the tv? i am using one rn and it randomly freezes and turnes green
Oh my gosh, I didn't know there was thermal paste also inside the CPU, so, replacing only the paste ON the CPU each year has no so sense if we don't replace it also IN the cpu
Thanks. I would have never thought the paste behind the lid would be the solution. The next PC I build, I'll delid the cpu and take a peek.
Really strange issue for me (i'm a 25+ year tech to boot) SUPER intermittent my display would go black , system would be running and I could shut down and recover. I could go MONTHS with no issues. Then I would get the same issue but when I rebooted I would get no video at all. system would boot and I could shut it down fine. Again weeks or months between issues. Then about a year into this it started to get much worse. I really thought it was my 3070 (hence why I was babying it so long) but after some real troubleshooting and a new motherboard, it turned out to be the power supply. New 750w 80+ Gold and no issues since. I was going to get a new Card when I decided to try the PSU (had an old psu) Never would have though.
Yes, be careful of assumptions. As a computer techie you at least have components to swap out. I had terrible problems with my first PC and sent it back to Viglen who said they'd fixed it and sent it back to me. In the end it was a loose molex connector pin on the main hard drive. Simply squeezing the sockets with some pliers to tighten them up sorted it out.
I just ran into this issue on my AMD Ryzen 5700G 32GB DDR4 system. It is a MinisForum mini PC, that packs some punch. It was working fine, then moving into a new office, it all seemed good... until gaming. Standard operations worked fine, movies, browsing, office work, even simple 2D games... it was just 3D gaming where I would get an unexpected reboot, error 41. I reinstalled my OS and some games, and of course, ensured that the OS and Device Drivers were current. Same issue, reliably. When the 3D kicks in, it reboots. Temperatures are all good 50-60C. Well, long-story short (too late), I found out that I just had too many devices plugged in to my power connections. It wasn't an issue with my PC at all, not with the hardware, not with the software. The PC was unable to pull the power it needed for that type of processing, so it rebooted. I plugged in just the necessities into the surge protectors and it is all 100%. Thanks for your thought process here. It got me on the right track, though it was a different cause than yours. Have a good one!
Great diagnostics, wouldn't have called that one myself especially given normal recorded temps.
This informative video is why I subscribed to this channel. I have that same problem at present.

I'm more impressed you delided with an arca Swiss tripod head. As for the fix, doubtful. More likely needed reseating
when I was fine tuning the overclock on my X58 X5675 @4.53Ghz, DDR3 @1969, North Bridge Clock 3740.9 MHz it would BSOD and rightfully so, but it got to the point where everything was working great except Fortnite would crash and BSOD, so I used DDU and clean installed the Nvidia driver and that fixed the problem
Similar issue - after many many tries it got fixed after updating the SSD firmware. I had no idea that this was even a thing. A friend of mine still doesn't believe me and taunts me to this day.
i confirm, it worked for me too. 3 years of crashes and i wouldn't even think this would be the issue. Thank you for that comment

Windows Memory Diagnostic Tool did not find any problems with my brother's 16gb ddr4 kit, he continued using the machine with all kinds of problems for months, got so bad he just couldn't use the machine for more than 5 minutes without a bluescreen. He gave the machine to me, I ran the same test, no problems, then I did a memtest86, and ERROR ERROR after less than a minute into the test. The memory was faulty, replaced under warranty, system worked fine after that.
Do NOT trust Windows' memory test if it says your memory is okay.
I had the same thing happen and, at first, even memtest86 didn't detect the fault in my RAM. But I suspect it was a batch of faulty controllers the mfg used on the modules and would occasionally just stop working. If the controller stops working then Windows can't even give you a BSOD like it does when the memory gets corrupted. The screen just goes blank. it is as though you simply reached in and pulled out the RAM while it was running. Yours probably had bad memory chips.
Re. SSD's - if you're someone who does a lot of video and/or audio editing you can wear out them out in months. Perhaps surprisingly, audio in particular - 24 bit, high sampling rate files can be huge and editing software will often create multiple undo copies. I'm not a pro but I do a lot of work meticulously digitising and restoring analogue audio, and a few years ago saw a new 500GB drive drop to 98% *in less then a month* (using a small temp/scratch disc of two older, 90GB SSDs in RAID 0 and an HDD as the destination for the completed projects). Until then I had no idea that write endurance was so much lower than older generations of SSD. People used to fret about it 10 years ago when NAND had 3000 writes-per-cell endurance (like the two I just mentioned - both 10 years old, my system drive for nearly 8 years but still at 98%), yet consumer drives are now *a tenth* of that (but certainly aren't usually typically 10 times the size). I now use three SSD's (two 500's a 1TB) which I bounce data between when editing (along with several offline HDD's for archiving) and keep a wary eye on usage.
Had a similar issue with my pc crashing、but it started crashing so frequently that it would turn the pc off instantly after loading Windows。Turns out the gpu was the issue。Every pc I put the gpu into、 would get it's drive corrupted to a point were I would have to re-install Windows、since Windows repair wouldn't work。I wasn't able to resolve the issue because I couldn't go into Windows recovery mode and all hardware fixes failed。I tried cleaning it、new thermalpaste ect and the gpu was visually in good condition but in the end I had no idea what the issue was。The gpu was a gtx 970 from EVGA。
Probably bad memory on the GPU.
Im facing the exact same issue.. even have a evga 970 that looks fine visually
Great job finding that, I would have never thought to delid
Thank you so much for this video, my pc would for some reason crash when playing fortnite and other games, and thanks to you, i finally fixed it and it doesn't happen anymore!!
Nice little disco dance @ 3.12. 🤣
That’s a great catch. I never would have thought about delidding as a fix.
For my personal stuff I only use Samsung M.2's or 2.5" SSD drives.. The Magian software is great and cloning is so easy too. It's worth the extra $20 bucks $50 even on more storage. I was on Samsung on my last PC and that 2.5" 850 EVO and it is still being used for gaming storage in that PC, I am about to sell.. People go on about PSU's n they will buy the cheapest M.2 they can find though and go with what ever that is for a gaming build.. Also I found out with crucial a long time ago that a warranty is only as good as the company it's self.. This was back when SATA SSD's had first came out. I think this was their MX250 or something like that.. Well it went bad and I think back then you only got like a 3 year warranty, on SSD drives. Now a day's it's more like 5 to 10 years.. But anyway it was a 3 year and it had only been out like 10 months, it was their drive clearly from the MX250 on it, and it went bad after like 9 months.. Crucial shipped it back too me in a box dead! Since then, I have only used Samsung Drives and haven't had any issues with any builds since then.. I am just 1 person who made sure at least 10 other people knew not to buy Crucial drives or memory, And that still didn't hurt them.. People out there swear by them..
I'm glad you made this video. Someone could have this problem and don't even know it.
I think it was the reseating issue only, I had a FX 6300 that somehow managed to bend a pin (later it broke while trying to straighten it but it was not an important pin luckily), this bent pin put a scratch between 2 cpu socket pin holes and I started getting weird BSODs esp. regarding RAM which were otherwise working fine, figured that due to the scratch maybe the other CPU socket pin hole was getting short, just carefully reseating the CPU would stop the problem
I can't tell from the video, did you replace the adhesive on the cpu or did you leave it like that?
Also off topic, since you dabble so much into second hand markets, how do you select reliable PSUs to put into builds for PC's that you are going to flip, so that you have peace of mind that it won't explode the second it goes into the customer's hands
Looks like he did not replace the adhesive. The thermal paste made it stick, and wasn't necessary I'm assuming.
@@jjglistens5312 I know it's 2 months old lol, but the socket cover holds the IHS in place
I have come across this in the past and just reseating the CPU has fixed it 👍
thanks alot.im strugle for years.i change pasta like you and for now it seems ok.AMD A10
Dang I had the same critical process issue too but I believe it was the alien ware software but maybe the heat spreader paste is mucked too so worth a shot for future issues lol.
I was planning to upgrade my LGA1155 motherboard from a Sandy Bridge processor to Ivy Bridge but after watching this video I will stick with Sandy Bridge.
I had a similar problem last year, it turned out to be the cpu cooler mounting pressure was too tight and caused instability or something idk, just loosened the screws a bit and it was fine from then on
yeah i thought so, and ram connectors could cause similar problems, i would just reseat cpu and rams :P
That's the risk you run if you try to budget on a cooler. There is something called a plastigage you can use to verify you have the correct mounting headroom on your cooler. It is also possible you didn't install the bracket correctly, or you put gorilla torque on the screws. This is why I have a Wraith Max on my 2600 and a Wraith Prism on my 5600X. Since I undervolt for longevity, they provide plenty of cooling and I don't have to wonder if they fit properly, unlike so many of the aftermarket coolers on the market. They also have a copper thermal interface. It is really just better to fork out the money for a D15 or Arctic AIO if you are going to overclock and stick with OEM coolers if not. Although annoying to install, the spring loaded stirrup clasp on the Ryzen coolers I have is the safe way to go because the spring is designed to provide just enough pressure. At least you know they won't crack the die from too much mounting pressure. And a good thermal compound makes anything more than "enough to be secure" pointless.
I've had exactly this problem with my Thinkpad T430s (with I7-3320M), ever since I bought it in 2012. I never found out what the problem was. Same thing with a second-hand Ivy Bridge HP Desktop, which I tried to use as a media center PC with Ubuntu. They just gave me a nasty look when I complained that it sometimes reboots itself and told me they can't reproduce the issue. I also had similar issues with an Ivy Bridge HP laptop. My two Haswell desktops never had this issue.
I was so excited with my new build and I’ve tried everything I can think of, including turning off all the ASUS and Intel “tuning features” ….. unbelievably depressing… can’t afford to buy new parts to swap…. Really shitty…
…and this de-lidding thing… unfamiliar and uncomfortable with trying and ruining my chip and board if they aren’t already somehow.. yea, this is my worst nightmare… no clue what to do…
My parts are new gen, too… not even remotely replaceable
i had similar problems with my old i7 3820. I went into bios and disabled anything referring to "spread spectrum" (whatever that was) and it solved the issue, at least for a while The old Corsair 750w PSU I had apparently was having issues (it's so old it doesn't have a 80+ rating). Swapping the PSU with a new one solved everything, but I still have the old Cosair PSU and it still works, and it seems to work fine on lower-end builds, but I try not to use it for anything long term.
I've had the strangest problems occur recently.. my pc has been running great for about a year and a half, I upgraded my gpu about 3 months ago.. I had a windows update that caused my pc to crash when playing games and one of the crashes was so bad that it corrupted my user profile.. I fixed well thought I fixed it finally after wiping all the graphics drivers and starting fresh it ran great for another week and now it's doing the same thing again.. im almost wondering if it's cpu related I have a ID liquid aio and i always felt the the cpu temp was a little higher than it should be.. I appreciate this video cause it's got me thinking maybe I have worn out the cpu with bad cooling over the corse of a year and some change
Since you discovered what the fix was and it's limited to a few cpus, maybe you should put that somewhere (description/tags/title) so SEO can pick it up so some poor soul 5 years from now who's not as smart as you can find it.
i'll admit delidding is way out of my comfort zone, but thanks for showing it can be a problem
My computer was giving BSOD crashes a whole lot about a month ago. Especially when installing games or transfering files to an external SSD.
So I reseated my ram first which didn't fix the problem , then reseated my NVME drive. I haven't had any crashes since ten
Pc crashing randomly while playing valorant. Sometimes bluecreen, sometimes hang even while using ms word. All parts replaced but that didn't fix.
I fixed it by changing the motherboard bios settings IDE to AHCI then save, then formated it with a new windows 10.
Didint saw termals on stress test . Latest i saw this , with boost processors that cache is a problem . When boosting on max core frequences
The strangest problem I have seen recently is a Ryzen 7 3700X with a dead memory channel.
Dual channel memory installed correctly and the system did not post. Single stick installed and it booted. dual stick installed incorrectly booted but with bios warning of memory installed correctly. Determined it was a bad memory channel on the CPU when I swapped the CPU to a board where memory channels were swapped positions and the problem followed.
What speed ram were you using?
@@farasty7371 cannot remember. I was working at a shop and we ended up swapping the CPU to a 5800X.
damn i have never ever heard that deliding might fix instability issues on stock setup, probably not many people tried fixing it that way either, but it feels like it fixed a symptom and not the root cause, but again im probably wrong but thats a super weird fix, enjoyed the content as always :)
I just upgraded 2 and reseated and new fresh windows.Just random stuff then good for hours.Sometimes not at all.And this is 2 new fresh install
Good video....sister has terrible problems atm with her 2 year old build but yesterday we used windows own diagnostics tool for ram and straight away errors were found so its off to the store to buy new memory...disappointed because the memory is corsair vengence ddr4 and being a decent make i really think that it lasting only 2 years is a bit crap
I'd recommend cleaning the RAM properly first and installing them back into the motherboard when her memory sticks are dry. Errors usually happen because of that.
I'm using the default cooler fan with my Ryzen 5 3500 CPU, never had any problems ! even on hot summer days.
I had a similar problem with a Dell optiplex I had for a while. I checked everything I could, I tried all the solutions, but still got BSODs. I think it was the same exact issue!
i had this same issue with a 6700k. im gessing the stress from moving the pc or something else like vibration from you car caused the thermal paste to crack up or something making air pockets. use liquid metal and glue it back on cause its a bitch when cleaning
It's simple! All it needs is Tech Yes Lovin!
I've had this problem since swapping the GTX 1650s for a GTX1660ti. the processor is an i7 4790k. 🤷🏼♂️
I had a bunch of crashing a few days ago. First games, then black screen with cursor, then full BSODs. Turned out system was unstable with my memory clocked too high. 11400F with 3200MHz just didn’t work. I put in a 11700 and it worked fine with the XMP profile.
Brian had the same problem for several weeks now, I also thought the psu then one day I swapped out the cooler then it stopped then I swapped back to my cooler than the issue appeared again. so I repasted the CPU and works better and my i7 2600 is running at 4ghz so i dint think the heat would be that back
I miss Gigabyte's Blue PCB mother boards
omg. I am having random crashes in my games. Sometimes I spent 2 days without issues and then the whole PC freezes, it disconnects all my peripherals and then the freezing comes. Then I have to hard reset the PC. Sometimes it happens 3 times in a row and then again at the next day.
I ran every test, updated all my drivers. But I have been scared of checking the CPU. This is a new pre-built PC with a Ryzen 5700X and I don't want to return the machine.
Same exact thing here
Our issues for our PC are similar. My PC would freeze and when I would press the restart button it would just shutdown instead and then turn on by itself, then sometimes the blue screen of death would pop up. I never tried checking the thermal paste and I think it might be the problem.
Did that fix it my pc would be good for 30 min to an hour then it would freeze say it found an issue restart and then go into a black screen don’t know what to do
@@Hector-st3sh did u fix it same thing happening with me
@@RM22201 nah I contacted ryzen for a replacement cpu I’ll let you know when I get it
@@Hector-st3sh it might have something to do with your ram sticks. If the issue still persists like it going blue screen of death then your best chances are to check your CPU for sure.
@@RM22201 yo so I ended up getting a test cpu from best buy it wasn’t the issue tested the ram again dead stick for some reason the first time I tried it each stick worked in each slot but this time one leads to automatic blue screens hoped that helped
When this happened to me cleaning ram fixed it for me (it also passed the memory check test) and reinstalling windows will make it do away for few months
Wow that's crazy. You'd think they'd have a temp sensor located on all the hottest key parts of the CPU so monitoring tools can see it, but I guess not. Good find.
Hi. I have a similar issue but my PC only crashes when gaming It's a 8yr old PC and It's never done that before I have tried absolutely everything to fix it.Updated all the drivers/Windows you name it. The only thing I can think of Is once the GPU is under load that either the PS isn't giving it enough power or the GPU is just failing. OH and I have zero heat issues. And It might just be time to retire the dinosaur.
Rgb software is becoming increasingly an issue to!
Its like this theres one instal one package, but it contains other brands RGB like bloatware!
So not only do you get what you need on the install, but other brands too! And you only had the one install!
If you didnt do a custom install or more often than not theres only one install, youre putting in software that you dont even know about really at the end of the day.
There was a recent issue relating to RGB of a certain brand that was part of one of these packages that was deemed to not only be unnecessary but also a cause of potential threat. On a whim I checked to see if my system had it and YEP not only that it had a another version for my keyboard! Both totally irrelevant and only a risk to stability and security while using extra disk space... sheesh .. eye opener that one..

I have been having something familiar with my pc i7 3820. If i left the computer without touchinh it for some time thr image freezes and i have to restart the computer. Make a full clean, changed the thermal paste, put a new cpu cooler and once in a while it freezes if i dont touch it!
De-lidding with a tripod... Genius!
using your go card to clean off the old paste lmao. not just for the bus!
Sometimes blue screen fixes can be as simple as just reseting the CPU or RAM but that's when you get really lucky.
Having issues with 10850k 3090. 32gb ddr4. Tried new ram, gpu, and windows. sometimes blue screen, sometimes games just tabout and close. Thought win 11 would fix this along with the alternative gpu, and, ram.
I have a very weird problem for almost a year now. My pc crashes and boots right back up but the catch is it only does that while on low usage like watching a movie, using just chrome things like that or when idle. Iv tried so many things i cant even recall all of them so damn frustrating...
CPU overclock not stable.
I have a very similar issue with a computer I built myself. It works great and goes days without issues sometimes even weeks but randomly the screen will go black and the computer crashes. The only thing is the tower is still running as if nothing happened. If I power off the computer and boot it back up then it works perfectly fine until the next random crash which could be a few hours or again weeks. Besides trying to replace parts are there any tips on where I could start troubleshooting this issue.
I never get the Blue screen of death. No other issues with the computer. No specific activity causes the crash. Sometimes happens while watching youtube or even just typing on a google document.
did you solve the issue? I have the same problem, please let me know!!!
@@jonationnougat9785 Not yet, still need to take my cpu out and reseat it, but I keep worrying Ill destroy my computer. Rather just deal with the random crashes since they really don't happen that often.
I had a bizarre problem, with my desktop recently, that I could not figure out. It refused to boot to a the internal SSD and even install an OS on it. USB booting was fine. I removed power to all other drives I had inside. Still the same. Left only the SSD. And all I could deduce was either a faulty SATA cable or port.
A 3600 I got in a prebuilt has random BSODs. I think the board it was in caused it. Because the GPU from that system also died later. The PSU is fine.
Oftentimes you think it is the CPU or the MB when it is really the RAM. Random crashes was the symptom I got with some bad memory. It started out once in awhile and I just blamed it on going right to the edge on system tuning because I was running a 2070S which is just a bit too much GPU for a R5 2600. But I backed off on the tune and the crashes just became more frequent. Eventually after periodically testing everything for several weeks, the RAM finally started showing bad on the memtest and I RMA'd it. It was a cheaper brand - V-Color and I was surprised they even replaced it because manufacturers of budget parts have been known to just effectively have no customer service to speak of.
Based on my experience a lot of people probably overlook memory because the test comes back good.
Prebuilt gaming PCs tend to come with the cheapest GPUs. Companies like Dell and HP make their own extra-cheap versions with reduced power conditioning and poor cooling. I definitely wouldn't assume the MB was bad just because the GPU later died. It probably died from running too hot in a case with poor cooling. On the other hand, Delta and Lite-On OEM PSUs have been known to outlast the rest of the system. Last year, I repurposed a 12 year old Delta 305W PSU from an Optiplex to run a GTX1650 that was mining Ravencoin and later Vertcoin for about 9 months. It still works.
@@SomeOldGamers TLDR but I tried multiple mits of memory along with other parts.
one time i was playing a badly optimised game while having 2 gb ram and my pc just randomly crashed and the blue screen was having glitched text
i got my first pc 4 month's ago and i have not had 1 solid session with it. it will give me this weird crackling audio(which i cannot find another video that talks and give an example of) at the same time will make my game stutter hard, fps drops and eventually it will just restart itself. weird thing is is that i took it back where i got it built and it worked fine? passed all the tests and didnt shut off or stutter 1 time?? then the next day i plugged it in and it worked for like 5 hours then it started the whole bs again?? im sick of pc already
The more reason I don't go older past DDR4, so many factors with older gen hardware.
Havent watched the video. Guys if your PC suddenly freezes and doesnt respond to any inputs, making you hard reset the pc. (Sometimes it bsods with kernal issues.) Before going down the rabbit hole of checking every piece of hardware (ram, cpu, gpu, mb et.), just try turning off cpu c states.
Ps: if your pc gets shutdown by power outage, if it is turned off for a long time and the cmos battery is low, check if the bios reset itself. If thats the case turn off cpu c states again. Every time

i have this cpu i7 3770 and its stuck at 1.6ghz i try everything in youtube but its faild could help me please
shits truly stressing me the fuck out wish i got a pre-built
I've had a problem with my PC blue screening because I routed my peripherals through my monitor instead of directly to the PC itself. BTW, I couldn't find firmware for my monitor either
I was getting irregular black screens a few weeks back. It was hard to diagnose as I was messing with open source software that controlled my nzxt grid fan and rgb controllers. I could sometimes make it happen if I tried using Blender as well which was odd.
Getting whea errors and some event Id showing up in event viewer.
I'm on a Ab350m pro4 with 3700x
Absolutely no idea what happened. I think I checked for further windows updates, it downloaded something and then it was gone.
Very weird.
This stuff just scares me as an aspiring budget gaming pc builder lol
My PChas been doing weird things when my dad just Flipped the cpu and check something but I dont think he moved anything inside.
After that my pc started having glitch screens then crashing my pc(no blue screen of death just straight out turns off my pc) but sometimes I have the blue screen of death. Then next thing my monotor cant connect to the pc at times when I open it. Im pretty scared that some of my files might be corrupted if this happens for a while.
Great stuff as always! Something I definitely wouldn’t have considered straight away!
I've been having a similar conundrum with my PC shutting off/crashing but it only happens with Star Citizen and not any other game, if I try to relaunch the game after the first crash I get the blue screen.
Start by looking in to what the blue screen error is it can usally begin to point you at something.
