Not yet mentioned but might work in some cases - try CTRL+ ALT+ RIGHTARROW or LEFTARROW. 'Call oom_kill, which kills a process to alleviate an O ut O f M emory condition', which (at least for me) often kills the program that is causing the issue, as it is the largest RAM consuming process running at the time. then assuming MagicSysRq support is compiled into the kernel (From ), on a QWERTY keyboard (alternatives for the below f are provided in the aforementioned article), one can try:

Switch to another virtual console ( Ctrl+ Alt+any one of F1-6), to initiate a pkill (or similar, as detailed above).

Use keyboard/mouse to A) Run the Ctrl+ Alt+ * option above, B) Navigate to a utility that can be used to terminate the offending program, C) Launch a terminal to initiate a pkill (or similar, as detailed above).

As far as I can tell, Ram is compatible.Adding one more possible solution to the mix, and (apart from the accepted answer) one of the least destructive of the answers so far. Compatibility claims are extremely vague and first hand experience from reviewers seems far more helpful. I've shot myself in the foot with the nature of the motherboard. I'm really hoping there's a chance this is a Dimm on it's way out? The reason I ask is the ram was purchased as a used set.

Given that the memstest wont even start, Is there any chance this is ram issue?Ī very brief internet search tells me that memtest not even starting, but the OS posting and opening without issue, could mean it's simply an incompatible bios / software issue with memtest. I appreciate the link and the suggestion. Hoping that the unusual nature of the board simply means incompatibility with the software? All other temps are comfortably low and I cannot feel out any such ludicrous temps across the board. This seems impossibly high and likely a sensor error ?(perhaps wishful thinking). Doing a thorough look through it once the freezing started, I'm getting super high mobo temps from 3rd party software.įor example both Speccy and Aida64 Extreme state the motherboard temp as 120'C. Worked wonderfully for the first few months. Seemed to have a enough trust worthy reviewers thinking it was worth a shot, so I gave it a go lol. I accept my mistake if this is the cause in the end. Yeah it's a bit of a sketchy board and would definitely qualify for 'Super cheap'.

Go download a Linux distro - you don't need to install, just use the live desktop that doesn't touch the rest of the system:įor further details and description - have a look at this post.Īlso - do a check if the motherboard model and the RAM is known to be compatible to each other - that is you should look at each manufacturers web page, find the model and see if there exist a list or query to see if they're known to be compatible to each other. There is one thing you can do - just in case it indeed turns out to be a software problem, it's nice to be able to rule it out. Therefore, al in all I believe this is a motherboard related issue. The other factor here is that your Memtest are unable to even get started? I had a bad laptop a couple of years ago where I faced similar problems, and I tossed it because I figured out that it had to be the main board. Doesn't need to mean anything but not the less it is an indication I believe.

Generally once all the browsers are open, it's bound to freeze at some point in the day.įirst thing I noticed when making a search for that MB model is that topic 'super cheap' popped up in search results. I can run a Bitdefender system scan for hours with no freezing. It will hang on the the 'Checking multiple processors' line.Īnyone else have any thoughts as to where I can start for troubleshooting.įreeze does seem dependent upon multiple browsers open. I tried Parted magic to run the memtest86 but the test never completes. Went through and turn off any sleep options in Power Settings. The only other change is previously had All core turbo boost unlocked. Same issue with the second new psu as well. I assumed it was psu related and returned the first rm850x and replaced it with another. First freeze showed up right after the new psu went it. My previous psu was sounding unreliable but causing no issue so I swapped it out before it died. Other than the psu and case, none of the components are new.įreezing began a few weeks ago, seemingly immediately after I changed PSU. Even Num locks / cap locks is unresponsive. Generally I will have 10 browsers open (google maps, google docs, a few VoIP browsers, email) along with a few applications (slack, discord, so on) across 3 screens.Įntire system will freeze, mouse cursor frozen, Ctrl+Alt+Delete has no reaction.

Recently My windows 10 computer will freeze entirely on a daily basis, upon a light work flow.
