yeah idk it would not power on this one time, no matter what i did.
pulled cmos and put it back in and it started right up

if i have another freeze/lock the first thing im doing is formatting both the SSD & HDD and re-installing windows 10, and full drivers for everything.
idk since last night no freeze yet today, played CS GO for an hour+ and watched streams on twitch.
so far it seems okay. things i've done so far;

Fresh windows 10 install
Updated GPU Driver
Un-seated / Re-seated RAM sticks (blew the slots out with canned air)
monitored temps

so we shall see how this goes, i just want my PC with as decent as specs as it has and as little hours ive used it to be up to par and not have major issues

Yeah, sometimes the BIOS just...gets confused. Resetting the BIOS to defaults by pulling the CMOS battery...helps.


As to the original problem, just re-seating the RAM may have fixed it. Time will tell.

so today i had the first freeze in 3 days (longest time i think in recent history) happened in the first 5 mins of waking the pc up from sleep. i was just browsing jsp and it froze.

here are the exact parts im using :
CORSAIR RMx Series RM750X 750W 80 PLUS GOLD Haswell Ready Full Modular ATX12V & EPS12V SLI and Crossfire Ready

G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 2400 (PC4 19200) Intel Z170 Platform

1 x SAMSUNG 850 EVO 2.5" 250GB SATA III 3D NAND Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-75E250B/AM
WD Blue 1TB Desktop Hard Disk Drive - 7200 RPM SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5 Inch - WD10EZEX

1 x GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1070 Founders Edition GV-N1070D5-8GD-B, GBT GTX1070 Founders

Intel Core i7-6700K 8M Skylake Quad-Core 4.0 GHz LGA 1151 91W BX80662I76700K Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 530

NEW NZXT H440 STEEL Mid Tower Case. Next Generation 5.25-less Design. Include 4 x 2nd Gen FN V2 Fans, High-End ...

GIGABYTE G1 Gaming GA-Z170X-Gaming 7 (rev. 1.0) LGA 1151 Intel Z170 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

e/ im going to completely format/ create new HD partitions, and im going to take out the GPU, Ram & the HDD and re-seat them.
im going to completely dust out the system with canned air, after all that is done and windows is done installing
im going to update the Drivers for: The motherboard, GPU, CPU/BIOS ...

If that doesn't fix things, then you probably have a hardware problem. Good luck.

I hear that. Having something you depend and rely on fail is no fun.



Keep us posted. Hope you can figure it out.
