System Keeps Hanging

[Halo3Addict]

I don't think his dad is the overclocking kind.

You never know, he could have accidentally clicked on something he shouldn't have. I used to deal with that with my grandmother all the time. Always moving that god damned taskbar. Anyways, you guys seemed to have ruled out everything else so thought I'd mention it.

Ya my dad doesn't have an ocd system at all. I haven't tried the GPU yet. It's on the to do list

what browser are you using?

I only ask because Chrome used to do that to my system. Hard freeze of the screen had to turn off the entire machine.

Also, can you post your event log?

It does seem like a hw issue tho... since it wasn't even booting... but it can also be that you're installing the same software on it, and its causing an issue through clean installs.

What has been changed so far just to recap

Changed out the CPU, motherboard, RAM, power supply, video card, ssd that windows is installed on, reinstalled windows. swapped out data cables.

have you tried and exorcist?

How is the outlet power? using a suppressor or no? if not try it. or try a different wall plug, preferably not the one above or below the one its currently plugged into. a totally different circuit altogether if possible. perhaps move it to a different room for testing? Even if the outlet volts out correct maybe an appliance or something is kicking on and off loading or pumping the circuit?

 

[eidairaman1]

Change out the power strip that it is hooked up on and change outlets. Run it all out of the case too at this point.

If there is a secondary hdd or ssd unplug it. Same with optical drives. Any external usb jacks too. Even a card reader if any

If you can confirm that it's the power supply there's a possibility I may be able to offer some assistance in acquiring a new one.

But based on the recent posts just above this one it seems like there's a ghost in the machine

Have you confirmed that your new course there is indeed a viable?

So my dad's computer started acting up

.....

His system specs are:

I5 2500
4GB DDR3 G.Skill
Asus P56 motherboard (i think)
Corsair power supply. (pretty sure its the same one in my system specs)

Please provide a detail list of old components and a detailed list of new components or components you used for testing. Also, provide some temperature data. How old is everything. How is the TIM of the other parts of the MB? Post a pic of the old MB.

What Im seeing here is you have an issue with one computer system and basically built a whole new one that inherited the issues of the old system. The chance that the old system parts damaged the new system parts are pretty good here. Just throwing parts at a system, aside from the PSU for testing, is dumb. However, suckering everyone that posted to throwing darts is awesome.

New development!

So my dad ended up getting some nasty malware on his machine and since he is still having the lock up issues with his machine, I decided that I was just going to reinstall windows with the new Win10 Creators update as I couldnt scan the machine and remove things fast enough before explorer.exe would just crash and never recover. I also was going to redo my mothers laptop as she got the free upgrade to Windows 10 and somehow it became deactivated.

Now mind you, this is the same Windows 10 setup/stick that I just used within the last few days on my own rig as I bought a 960 EVO m.2 ssd for my machine.

I worked on the laptop first. Got Windows 10 Creators update installed and everything seemed to be going well. Install went fine. Started installing programs back onto the computer and then lo and behold! the damn computer started showing the SAME symptoms as my dad's desktop. So naturally this was a "what the hell?!" moment. So now my thought process is "is there something going on with Windows 10 that is causing Windows to bug out?" I dont have a clue.

My next step was I just put Windows 7 back on my dad's desktop computer and so far everything seems to be going fine on the machine. Nothing seems to be locking up or anything. Left it on overnight. Remoted into the computer using Teamviewer and was able to get into it fine. Windows Update did it's thing. I rebooted. Issue seems to be fixed?

Again, used this same version of Windows (Creators update) on my machine and things are fine. Used the same stick. Same Windows 10 image created from the Windows Media Tool that MS provided. Does Windows 10 just seem to not like hardware that was from the Vista era (laptop) and Sandy Bridge (dad's machine)? Im totally at a loss here.

Any thoughts?

 

[eidairaman1]

Must be something on the stick or an incompatibility with his hardware and w10 or a usb controller is corrupting the installation...

 

[DeathtoGnomes]

Something different to try here with the win10 creators update. Dont install it from a stick, install win7 and go thru window update for everything. I know this takes a bit of time, but if this works, it will point you to your source for this headache.
