AwesomeMcCoolName Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 So, i'm pretty sure one of my computers ram modules is fucked up (either that or the mb). My computer randomly freezes while playing games (under load?). I ran Windows diagnostics (with both sticks, and with each stick in each slot separately), and each time it froze except for once. So i'm assuming its an issue with the mb since its unlikely that both sticks of ram are messed up. I also, ran memtest86+ on both sticks together, and both sticks individually, and my computer just randomly shutdown in the middle.....So, really not sure whats wrong, but i'm assuming its the mb since the likelyhood that both modules are messed up is just not very high. Any other opinions/ideas? (i do NOT have another computer i could test the ram with, nor do i ram that i could test my computer with). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AwesomeMcCoolName Posted September 1, 2013 Author Share Posted September 1, 2013 Update: Finished running Memtest86+ with one module at a time, and with both modules, and everything checks out. So, the issue must be with the mobo or psu, unfortunately i don't know of any way to test either (and its a laptop so i can't touch the psu/mobo hardware either).

Christley </3 Peelz Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 if you can, change the ram to another working module, then you know if its the mb thats fucked up or the sticks. also try to clean the fans and the rest of the computer with compressed air. laptops often shut off due to heat issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And i cleaned out the computer a bit earlier, so i'll see how that works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AwesomeMcCoolName Posted September 1, 2013 Author Share Posted September 1, 2013 Update: Just ran BurnIn (stress test) and my computer froze* part way through, the temps atm: TZ00: 27c Core#0: 77c Core#1: 78c Core#2: 78c Core#3: 82c Voltage: 53.51v GT435m: 64c, .83v The specific tests: "Maximum Cpu Temp" and "Cpu Coverage" So, i'm assuming somethings up with the cpu.

Vegan T-Rex Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 You know whats depressing? Sometimes my mbp gets hotter than your cpu did under a stress test when it has nothing but chrome running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vegan T-Rex Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 yea....mbps do that, especially 2007-2008 mbp. 2011 though. Very, very depressing. Im currently running a laptop cooler with a 200mm cooler and im still 80 celcius as of now, with literally nothing but my homework open. On the other hand, I think my computer spiked at 75 celcius when I was playing Monaco. So... this makes no sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gonna reboot my computer one day and erase everything but the system itself. Gonna see if it helps. One day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
