Computer Problem (Freezing)

[shoit21]

Hi all,

I built a pretty nice machine 2 summers ago, whose specs should be available in my profile here. Recently I was playing World of Warcraft and my computer locked up randomly for the first time. I tried to reboot Windows and it got stuck at the loading screen several times.

I reformatted and reinstalled Windows, and am now on the Desktop. However, I still am experiencing some strange behavior.

The computer will freeze if I go AFK for a short while, but never if I am on it for hours on end. I can play WoW for 8 hours straight with no problems, but as soon as I go AFK for about 30 minutes it will freeze.

I have cleaned out all the dust bunnies, and also downloaded Everest to get temperature and voltage values. Here they are:


Temperatures
Motherboard 27 °C (81 °F)
Aux 30 °C (86 °F)
GPU 48 °C (118 °F)
WDC WD740ADFD-00NLR1 27 °C (81 °F)

Cooling Fans
CPU 3068 RPM
Chassis 3516 RPM

Voltage Values
CPU Core 1.26 V
+2.5 V 3.20 V
+5 V 4.81 V
+12 V 11.46 V
+5 V Standby 4.73 V
VBAT Battery 2.96 V

If anyone has any insight into what the problem might be or what else I can test, I would really appreciate it. Thank you.

AFK?? What does that mean?

AFK means Away from Keyboard. i.e. if my computer is sitting idle

I'd say google and get memtest and run it for atleast 7 passes.
