And some text about wtf the problem is and where etc.

My mind reading power are running low today.

Sorry computer froze before i had chance to writing the spec

 

[tinytomlogan]

Right so whats the problem exactly. Freezing.... WHEN?

Ive never had any problems. Is this a new build, did the hard drive have windows on it from a previous install, come on fella if you cant give us the info then we cant help you.

Its massively frustrating having to ask a million quetions when trying to help you, you should give us everything we need to know straight away.

Hi Tom yes this is a new build every think is new from scan and aria it is a fresh windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit install i have updated to the latest bios,sata,usb it only seams to freeze when i transfer a large amount of files e.g films photos etc from internal HDD to external HDD it freeze a few mins in to the file transfer this is my third rig i have done but i have never had this before lol i have had a debug code of 80 and it shows AA at the moment. Once it is running ok i want to have a got at doing my first water cooled rig and will be using special tech for all my bits i will be following your water cooling guide thanks for all of your help :lol:

So the fault is probably the external drive then..... Have you tried it on another PC?


See how were we meant to know that from your original post.......?

 

[lcpldongworth]

Yes I do see what you mean it much be frustrating when people do that all I can say is sorry tom thanks for the pointers I will try the HDD on my new MSI GT780 dxr the external
HDD is usb 3.0 it's not that old it's about 7 months old I will try another external HDD to see if it does the same thing thanks agene.

i had this issue on an older rig and fixed it by breaking the transfer into smaller chunks as everytime i tried to copy everything in one move the comp freaked out and frozr or bsoded on me

 

[lcpldongworth]

I have tried a different external HDD and still dose it tried to do it in smaller chunks but still freezing and it froze when i was on the internet just posting on hear ??

 

[lcpldongworth]

some screen photos when it froze last it booted up it said system was un stable??

 

[VengeanceUK]

at a guess if you've eliminated the hdd, i would look to temperatures, if not its a possibly faulty mobo or cpu realistically
also try resetting bios to default a couple of times see if that does anything for stability

Thanks for the help i think i have sorted it i plugged the sata cable from the internal 1TB HDD in to the 3 Gbps plug it was in the 6gbps plug on the mother broad and when moving it to the 3 Gbps the files it did not freeze i left it over night copying in the morning it was still ok
