Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit random freezing

There's certainly something amiss in that report, fan speeds (there's one obvious bug there), overall temperatures and voltage changes don't tie in with that big jump in CPU/TIMPIN0. Ignoring the apparent anomalies, the PC seems to have been idle during the data collection.

For a cross-reference of the voltages/temps, please log an hour or so of mixed usage with HWiNFO64, make 2 - 3x screenshots at the end of the session to upload here (the output might require 2+ screens vertically) and include the duration of the session, it's in the status area near the buttons - xx:xx:xx: HWiNFO, HWiNFO32 & HWiNFO64 - Hardware Information and Analysis Tools

I don't know of anything that might be able to log fan speeds.

I don't know of anything that might be able to log fan speeds.

Possibly Speedfan, however, I've seen that program enough in analysis to wonder if that's a good idea.

Yes, Speedfan might work well for this, providing no adjustments are made and it's used purely for logging.

To be on the safe side, the Boot Start should be changed to Demand Start; from Device Manager > View - Show hidden devices, drill down to Non-Plug and Play Drivers > speedfan - right-click > Properties - Driver tab and set Startup to Demand. Check this setting after the next reboot (and after any subsequent use)!

Where speedfan is located under "non-plug and play drivers"? I don't see anything :/
Anyway here is a screenshot with speedfan temp

I was working from my own install, perhaps different UAC settings detected make Speedfan's install routine change, check again after a reboot.

There are still signs of overheat there - 92C for System and Temp - can you shutdown and unplug the system, carefully open the case and - without touching anything - check close to all areas of the board for a 'hot-spot' - 90+C, even from a few cm away, will feel very hot!

Go slowly and carefully and take a photo of the hot area, if you detect it, and are unsure of the components in that area.

Are you sure this is not a "false-temperature"? I never have temp problems, I also used a zalman zm-mfc2 to read temperature with probes.
Anyway, actually I use a HWiNFO64 for one hour and half without freezing but I make two changes..

1. oc to 3.00GHz (maybe is just a frequency problem.. less vcore or something else..)
2. disconnect floppy disk unit

I let you know if freezing again..

 

[satrow]

No, we're really not sure - which is why we wanted a 2nd software opinion and would like you to carefully test by hand for any hot spots.

Any O/Cing, voltage changes etc. will lead to (sometimes very large) changes in temperatures; poor case/fan design/direction can also lead to hot spots inside the case.

Can you please reset any O/C to default in the BIOS, reboot and note the temps and voltages reported in the BIOS before rebooting to Windows and running another comparison test. Reply with the BIOS data + screenshot(s) of the same data within Windows. This default baseline data collection is important.

System crashing again after a little bit more time like others crash.
Anyway I'll do it tomorrow when I come back from work :)

thanks

Back from another crash..
Log and screen in attachment, no overclock :)
