Hello! Im new here and i hope to recieve some help.
System:
Gigabyte GA-P67A-UD3 @ Stock F3 Bios
Intel Core i5-2500k @ Stock
Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600MHz 2x4GB CL9
Sapphire Radeon HD 6950 2gb
Corsair CX 600W PSU
Windows 7 Ultimate x64
I have random reboots & freezes. I noticed tho in the beginning the system just rebooted randomly, after a few days it started to just freeze instead.
I have been trying the following solutions:
1. Enabling High Performance in Power Options, disabling all windows sleep/hibernating issues.
2. Running Windows Memory Diagnostic tool = 0 errors, as well as running Memtest86+ and same result, 0 errors.
3. Reinstalled Win7, installing most recent drivers.
4. Checking temperatures in Bios, Hwmonitor and everything looks fine. Besides pc usually freezes when browsing web, listening to music or watching movies.
5. Installing hotfix from Windows (didnt help)
Since the problem doesnt occur that often its not easy to find solutions, I dont even get any dump file in my windows folder because it just freezes. Checking Event Viewer all i can see is: Kernel power error 41 and that doesnt say much.
My BIOS settings are currently Optimized defaults, ACHI enabled. HPET: 64 - ACPI: S1.
Ive been trying to wait for last solution to update bios, since i have never done it and always heard it could cause pc to be unbootable. I've read instructions on how to update with Q-Flash but i also read that you cant update from F3 - to newest either because of a bug in current (F3) Bios? So i have to use @Bios to update first? That seems very risky to me.
Another problem i have with my system is that it sometimes (happened twice so far) system changed date from 2011 to 2000. Why does this happen?
Would appreciate any help very much, always frustrating when a new system is not working properly.
