Freezing trouble

Well, I've unpatched it! Succesfully I am 90% certain. It crashed shortly before I patched it so if it does it again... OH, How do I reach the page which tells me my core temp and other info? In setup do you press delete or was that just in 98 etc?
 
You may look at PC Wizard 2010 at CPUID its a very hefty utility to check hardware specs as well it also tells you temperatures :)

It will give you something like this.

Ah, well thats shot down my thoughts. Weird though, the Processor temp is 20 but both my cores are higher than that at 34 and 39 respectivley.
 
And the memtest decided it doesn't want to run. It opened a cmd window and then closed, I can't delete the program now 'cause it's in use.
 
You can terminate it through Task Manager. Its more appropriate if you download from here; you'll need to give it ample time as it will need that to run 8 passes.

Here is the guide to run memtest; and N3051M has made it pretty easy to follow it as well :)
 
Its a good news in a way that we can rule out memory stability issues. Did you have any more crashes ?
 
I'm faily certain that heat was my problem after all, The computer is in a small, carpeted room near the chimney breast, since I left my window open and opened up the side of the computer (Saving for a new fan.) I havn't had any crashes (three days and counting). :)
 
Argh. Apparently not. It's been fine the last couple of weeks, only a very occasional crash which I let off but it's crashed 3 times in the last 12 hours now. I don't know what to do anymore.
 
Are the symptoms are same? and you are getting these freezes while playing games or surfing etc. ?

Do you have any software (perhaps came with y our motherboard) to monitor temperatures? Or GPU's temperatures as well?

Lastly, I'll advise you to turn on recording of memory dumps:

1. Right Click on My Computer
2. Click on Advance Settings (in the left panel)
3. Go to Advanced in System Properties
4. Click Settings under Startup and Recovery
5. Under System Failure, Check Write an Event to the system log and Automaticaly restart
6. Uncheck Overwrite any existing file.
7. Click OK to make the changes effective, twice.
(Assuming you don't have this on)
 
If you look back in the thread you can see the symptoms, the computer will completley freeze (No mouse movment, no input whatsoever), all Outputs will freeze (Monitor freeze, Speakers will repeat last noise made) etc. Ctrl+Alt+Delete will not work as the computer is simpley stuck.

If I leave the computer for long enough it will simpley unfreeze, but this can take from 15 seconds to half an hour.

Minidumps are enabled, and I don't know about built in software, I can't remember how I got to the innitial temp section.
 
You can downlaod PC Wizard; it gives you all the information about your system and also temperatures of CPU/GPU etc.

Now, so far, we have tested RAM (although I suggest that you may run memtest again, atleast for 8 passes). But, I am thinking about your HDD + motherboard. Do you know what is the make of your HDD ? (By the way if you don't PC wizard will tell you that).

I also want you to download Belarc Advisor; run it, and post it's report here (after erasing all product keys/personal information by opening the xml file in notepad).
 
PC Wizard, already got it, that's how I found it first time. :)

Two more crashes, Minidumps were enabled, I was watching online TV "OD" and was to lazy to get up, so it unfroze within 3 mins both times.

Starting both up now,
