Windows 10 keep on hanging

MagnificM — Tue, 11 Aug 2020 00:30:10 +0800

Hello everyone, I have some problem with my pc, Ive just upgraded my pc and change only processor and motherboard, spec as follow

Ryzen 7 3700X
MSI B550M Mortar
Corsair Vengeance LED 3200Mhz 8gbx2
GTX1070
Samsung 960EVO 500GB
HDD 1TB x 2
HDD 2TB x 1
SSHD 1TB x 1
Seasonic 620W

Ive been using the pc just fine for around 1 week before last Saturday, my pc suddenly froze on screen, the only solution to solve the froze screen is by hard reset, it happens only when idling, tried to game yesterday, no problem during gaming
It just happen only during idling, 1 time did freeze when im replying on discord chat while listening to spotify, below is the thing that Ive tried to solve the problem

1. Try to change the RAM speed to 3200Mhz since I didnt tried to change the speed when I change my processor and motherboard and let them run at 2133Mhz, I also tried to run at 3000Mhz but still my system freeze. Now testing at 2666Mhz
2. I did try to run my processor at 3.6Ghz, 4Ghz still doesnt solve the problem
3. Ive formatted the pc, fresh installed but still the freezing problem occur

I did saw the freezing problem in some of my friend's pc, but only for a while, my pc didnt, once the freezing problem occur, the only solution is only hard reset, mouse can still move, but when I click or type, no response at all

PC Up Time

MagnificM — Mon, 19 Feb 2018 09:27:45 +0800

Hi guys, just get back to work after CNY. This morning came and switch on my pc where I just noticed, the up time of my pc has been around 4 days, I thought every time we shut down, the up time is reset. Is there any problems that I've encountered here or I just can ignore this

What happen to my GPU

MagnificM — Tue, 14 Nov 2017 22:15:50 +0800

Hi guys, I have a Gigabyte GTX1060 G1 Gaming 6Gb version, usually, whenever im using my pc normally, the "FAN STOP" doesn't go out where no gaming involve.
But recently whenever I'm using my pc, the "FAN STOP" directly go out where the fan keep on spinning even when I'm not gaming, just checked the temp idle at 51~53 celcius.
Why is it ?

Hardware Compatibility ?

MagnificM — Tue, 17 Oct 2017 23:04:08 +0800

Hi, need to ask something, one of my office pc is using a system which have spec as follow

i7 2600
Intel DH67BL motherboard
4Gb ram x 2
1Tb HDD
GTX560
Seasonic M12II 620w

Some problems occur, been trying to troubleshoot the system to check if there is any faulty hardware in which the system goes blank when :-

1. The pc doesn't post anything when a gpu is inserted in the pci slot
2. Tried to remove the gpu from the pc, and the system post
3. Then try to replace the GTX560 with a R9 270x
4. Same thing happen where the system doesn't post

Try to check the ram too, where I changed the position of the ram from 1&3 to 2&4 as when the ram is in position 1&3, sometimes the system doesn't post anything
try in position 2&4, the same thing happen. So I bet the RAM are still working

Replace the GPU with a GTX550Ti and PSU with Cooler Master B500, working well until I tried to format the window where sometimes the system will goes blank when restarted

So right now, which hardware can be the culprit, could it be the MOBO ?

PC can't start

MagnificM — Sun, 06 Nov 2016 01:33:11 +0800

Hi everyone, here I want to share 2 different rigs and 2 different problem

1st

The pc can't start, only the casing fan is spinning, but it was like throttling and there is no signal at monitor at all. So i tried another cable for the PSU, the fan spin for a while, then poof, the cable burnt. I just directly switch off the main switch

2nd

The pc can't start, the fan does spin but just for 1s then off. When try to start again, the fan doesn't even spin at all. Once I reset the plug only it can be start, but the same problem occurs again. I've tried at another plug in case it was the plug problem, but the same thing happen again. PSU prob maybe ?

Regarding a friend's SSD

MagnificM — Fri, 14 Oct 2016 19:47:29 +0800

Per the title above, a friend of mine got some problem with his SSD (I think so )
As his SSD reaching the max capacity (120GB), he moved some of his file to his HDD and delete some of the software he's not using for the mean time. But once he open CS6, especially while opening multiple tab of CS6, the SSD just suddenly stated that it reached the maximum capacity. How to solve this ? as he have moved most of his file from his SSD
