PC memory issue?

Is it possible the PC is overheating? If the heatsink isn't properly seated on to the CPU, or the thermal paste isn't applied correctly, or the case is poorly ventilated, then you might expect the PC to freeze.
Something like SpeedFan might give you a starting point to keep an eye on things. I usually just click the last tab, and look at the temperature graphs.

I don't think it's overheating, but I'll have a look.
Could it be the voltages for the memory? I read something about incorrect voltages causing issues.0 -
I would look at drivers first, freeze and lock up issues are 90% of the time, down to your drivers, primarily GFX drivers.“I may not agree with you, but I will defend to the death your right to make an a** of yourself.”

Possibly... maybe...? The BIOS should handle everything automatically with the default settings (although they might not be optimal). If you're not overclocking, everything but the RAM timings can be set to default/automatic.0 -
I think it's the whole pc that locks up, however most time is spent in a browser so that's where I see it. It also freezes Skype. And downloads happening are lost due to connection dropping when it happens too.
Updated bios hasn't helped, it's still happening unfortunately.
I've installed memtest to a USB, I'm going to run it tomorrow, I believe it takes a number of hours to run.debitcardmayhem wrote: »Is it wireless or wired ?I'm not sure it's a memory problem it could be a driver issue , is it just locking up when using the network card, eg can you open other programs?

I don't suppose it will be this but when I re-plugged in my wireless mouse's usb adaptor the freezing stopped.Peel back your baby's eyelid to find no nationality or religious identity mark there.
