Hello. So I have a custom built machine Asus K8-VX MB with stock fan for processor and it occasional likes to freeze, blue screen or restart. If I leave the system on all day and boot up a game then exist the game, boot back it up- it freezes/blue/restart fairly regularly. But if I do a manual restart and play a game it seems to work fine. Also if I boot up a game after the system sits off all day I can play for a good two hours with no freezes and such. Temperatures are fine doing gaming- 125F fan- around 5000 and normal is 95-105F fan around 3300. Though while running MS Word and WMP I noticed that it jumps up to 120F fan around 4200. I think this is too high for running something simple like this especially compared to the gaming stats. This is also true after the PC is off all day and I turn it on. Something else that is somewhat strange is after it is put into sleep I wake it back up and play a game or run anything I lose both the keyboard and mouse- but the system runs fine. This is not a freak incident- i did this numerous times and the same thing happened. The system is up to date with Windows update and I ran scan disk thing- whatever cheeks for the correct .dll and that didn’t fix the issue. There are no virus at least none of the virus software could pick up. If any of you have any clues as to what could be causing this please let me know. Thanks for any input.
