Hello,
I hate to say this, but I have been having random lockups the last few months. A few hours ago I switched from the OCZ Mod-X-Stream 600 to the Seasonic M-12 II Bronze 520W Evo Edition (probably less than 50 hours of use on it), and it locked up within an hour.
Any ideas? Should I try Linux for a while? Should I unplug the KVM at the next lockup and plug the keyboard/mouse into the motherboard directly? Here's the scoop:
Gigabyte 970A-UD3
AMD Eight-Core 8150 processor
16 GB Ram
Gigabyte completely passive-cooled 6770 video (takes 2 PCI-E slots)
(I put a 120mm fan on it)
PCI wireless card
Sound card (I'm using motherboard sound though)
Unicomp keyboard (clicky, basically it's an IBM Model M)
Microsoft Mouse
IOGear MiniView PRO KVM switch (usb keyboard/mouse, DVI video)
Mod X-Stream Pro 600 / Seasonic M-12 II Bronze Evo 520
CONEXT AVR 900 UPS, good battery
There are lots of polies on the motherboard, none bulging/visible damage (yes I have seen polies that blew).
Any ideas what to try? If I have to "get a new computer", it will probably be used equipment, which may have worse problems than what I have now. And I'll have to buy another Win 7 license, no way I'm going to Windows 8/10. (Actually, Win XP is not a bad idea if I can get some used hardware that I can TRUST.)
(Gigabyte doesn't have much in the way of official support forums, but I'll try their unofficial forums soon.)
Any help is much appreciated.
