Mine is randomly hanging up. It's either bad memory sticks, hard drives failing (again). Or, it's finally time to splurge on a new system and retire this one after 12 years of loyal service.

My I7-3770 died last week with "no memory installed" errors no matter which stick or slot. It was a trooper until the end.

I suspect it's the graphics card. It's been 6 years with me and it was refurbished when I got it.

I had a semi-similar issue where games would randomly "freeze" - or rather, you could still hear stuff happening and reacting to key inputs, but the screen was completely frozen. Turns out slightly lowering the clock speed of my GPU basically fixed the issue. I wonder if something similar would be able to extend the life of your GPU too.

At an admin command prompt, try:

chkdsk /r

or

chkdsk /x

how to use chkdsk

And also maybe check the SMART reports: Monitoring hard disk health with smartmontools

And then run the memory diagnostic: How to run Windows Memory Diagnostic Tool

Thanks for the well intentions, but so far I know it's not the disks, I changed them last year. I run Linux Mint, so I use other tools to monitor the disks and memory. I actually suspect it's the graphics card getting funky because running things in software render mode solves the random hang ups.

I'm there with you. I have no problems but I know I'm pushing my luck.
