For whatever reason I am getting weird windows 10 freeze ups, its the best thing I can think of to call them, i can move my mouse around and everything, but the clock has frozen and i cant open any program, and cant restart cant log out have to physically push the button every time it happens, ive done a complete computer wipe out and load from scratch but the issue continues, does any one know what could be the cause? and what program i could use to test if a piece of hardware is failing?

Hi,
Reset.
Don't do what ever you've been doing to tweak win-10.

System specs may help us help you, but imho, most "freezes" are due to RAM in some form.

Hi,
Look at event viewer through action center icon on right end of taskbar.
It should of created an event and or several for the freezes

Antivirus could also cause freezing along with hardware failure which also should be in event viewer.

System specs please. Does the sound "freeze" as well? PSU can also be a culprit.

I am not sure if the sound freezes I know no video will play when it locks up like that, i can still move my mouse around even though I cant directly open anything.

I agree. If nothing else, you should swap in a known good PSU since everything inside the case depends on good, clean power.

Wowzers! Assuming that is 8 x 32GB, I would probably remove 6 sticks and run with 2 x 32GB and see what happens. If fine, swap in a different pair until [hopefully] you can determine which is bad. Alternatively, if you have totally different, compatible RAM, say 2 x 8GB or 2 X 16GB that your board supports, try that and see what happens.

Edit comment: fixed typo.

Hi,
Yeah asrock probably stretched memory amount and speed compatibility
Clear cmos properly

Optimize default bios settings after
Leave it alone like this with no xmp profile

If it freezing occurs again remove all sticks and reinstall
If freezes again only use four sticks.....

It should be noted that MemTest86 and MemTest86+ are NOT the same program. Sadly, there are several similar programs with very similar names.

I personally recommend the one by PassMark Software as Andy suggested.

How do I go about using the one he suggested it? what tests do i preform with it? I got it installed onto a usb stick and ready to go loaded it up but im not sure what to do and where to go i also pulled 4 sticks of memory out of my computer so i can test 4 at a time.

oh sorry i should do two at a time not 4 my mistake Bill_Bright, if i do two at a time what do I test for? with the mem86 program

and yes 8 sticks of 32

You can do 4 at a time, but if an error occurs, you still have to eliminate the other three.

Your board supports UEFI BIOS so you should be able to insert the stick, reboot, and the program will run. See MemTest86 - Configuring MemTest86.

Beginning with W7, Windows itself has an effective memory tester built in, called Windows Memory Diagnostics Tool. It is not quite as comprehensive, but if it finds an error, the RAM is bad.

Note, however, while software-based RAM diagnostic tools are good, none are 100% conclusive. If they report any errors, even one, the RAM is bad. But it is not uncommon for them to report no problems, yet the RAM still fails in use, and/or when paired with other RAM. So, swapping in all new RAM is often the best test - but of course, not everyone has a bunch of spare RAM laying around so you might try running with just a single RAM stick to see if it fails. Repeat process with remaining modules, hopefully identifying the bad stick through a process of elimination. Just be sure to unplug the computer from the wall (and remove the battery if a notebook) and touch bare metal of the case interior BEFORE reaching for the RAM to discharge any destructive static in your body.

To conclusively test your RAM, you need to use sophisticated and very expensive test equipment, like this $2,495 Memory Tester (and that's for the cheap model)! So it is usually easier (and cheaper!) to swap in known good RAM and see what happens.

Hi,
The tutorial says how to use it make a cd or flash drive bootable and run it over night.
But with that much memory it would take a life time

Bill_Bright, I forgot to say it isnt instant it seems to happen at random it could go fine for a few days to few hours and then kick it in its teeth and not work anymore, If I do the swap out method should i take time like a few days to a week playing around with it to see if the thing pops in? aka watch movies play games web surf etc etc etc?

I am also going to clear the cmos as well from another suggestion Thrashzone suggested, cause i am running it at 3200 rate now and the hwinfo thing that matchs up with rainmeter is telling me im still running it at 3600,

With that much RAM, as ThrashZone notes, it is going to take a long time, no matter which method you use. The longer the you test, the better. And with testers you must go at least one full pass - but the more the better. And again, if any errors are found, the RAM is bad. No need to keep testing a stick after errors are found.

Your motherboard user guide will tell you how to reset your BIOS. If you have to do it by reaching in and moving a jumper, for example, make sure unplug the computer from the wall, and touch bare metal of the case interior BEFORE reaching in - to discharge any static in your body. Then boot directly into the BIOS Setup menu to reset/check your data and time, and if necessary set your boot sequence.

With so many sticks one probably wants to do a binary search with MemTest to save it taking so long:

  • Test with all 8 in; if an error is found, test with just 4 then the other 4 to start locating the defective stick. Repeat, testing pairs from the bad 4, etc

Now it is possible an error is found with all 8, but in neither group of 4, in which case it may be the memory controller that is having trouble keeping up.


What version of BIOS are you running?

Bill_Bright Theres a clear cmos switch on the back of the I/O Panel will that work? if not I know you can clear it by taking the battery out of the motherboard, not sure about a jumper never done it that way,

Andy Shiekh the latest 1.70 but its been 1.70 since i built the computer I updated it as soon as i was able to, for compatibility reasons been running 8 sticks of memory 32 gbs for a few months with no errors, or trouble keeping up, its been running flawlessly till recently,

Oh just to have 256 gbs of memory XD no real reason besides that XD

out of curiosity what if i get no errors on the return what should I do then? everyone says it has to be the memory, but I have no clue what my next step would be

I sure wish more motherboard makers would do that with all their boards. But of course, that nice to have feature adds to the cost of the board.

Yes, that will work. Check your manual to see if you have to unplug from the wall or if they have a set procedure for it.

That is a common problem. The only conclusive way is to try totally different RAM sticks.

I didn't think so highly of this guy (he is a bit of a goofball) till he stood up to an MIT Prof
Does Kirchhoff's Law Hold? Disagreeing with a Master - YouTube
and in my opinion he (ElectroBOOM) was right.
LOL Yeah, he makes a good argument. But his greatest comment was, "My mom thinks I'm mostly okay."

Hi,
Like I said earlier
Testing is long road
Use the short road
F5 optimize defaults in bios and do not activate xmp profile
See if that alone solves the freezing.

If not remove 4 sticks from the appropriate slots and try again.
Let us know how that goes.

is it possible for all 4 sticks of memory to be dead? i can now only run 4 sticks of memory now, without errors i ran the 2 sticks each that i left out and it instantly or after a while did the weird windows glitch thing, the other 4 no weird windows glitch so far

so only 4 are working and 4 are not working

OCed RAM, native speed ram, XMP profiles enabled or set by hand?

AMD mobos are very touchy on memory settings. Also upgrades to BIOS can fck up memory settings to the point PC wont even boot.
