    PC hangs after high gpu load
    « on: January 10, 2018, 09:45:57 PM »
    Hey guys,



    My PC hangs after I load my gpu for a while. For example, if I'm gaming or running a blend torture test with prime 95 my entire pc freezes and there's no input (mouse/keyboard doesn't work) or output (sound). The only fix is a hard reset. I've attached two administrative event logs and a pic of my device manager. All my drivers are up to date

    Here are my specs

    Hope you guys can help, without being able to game buying this pc was counter productive :P

    Find your CPU Here...  then check if the RAM you bought is on the QVL list...

      My RAM wasn't on the list, but this wasn't a problem until october (aka exams so I haven't figured it out yet :p)

      Well it's an issue with newer boards...especially if it's DDR4 RAM...

      Do me a favor though...in the Device Manager window...highlight the PC at the top and press Shift and +

      This expands the whole tree...repost the image

        I notice WHEA-Logger events. WHEA stands for "Windows Hardware Error Architecture" so it almost certainly points you right at the problem component- given your issues it will probably point at your Graphics Card, but WHEA log events usually include a number of tidbits of useful information on the hardware error itself.
        I was trying to dereference Null Pointers before it was cool.
