PC freezing very irregularly

Ok so I'm currently running on a constant 25 days of uptime with no crashes or freezes after the BIOS update I did. However I noticed my memory usage seems quite high for only having chrome open with 2 tabs and I have 57 background processes and 87 windows processes running. Does this...

PC freezing very irregularly

Ok so I just got to my desk right now (12:45pm) and checked uptime in task manager. It got reset. 8 hrs of uptime. however it looks to be unrelated to the freezing issue. Event Viewer shows 2 events at same time, it looks like it restarted automatically?? Currently googling fixes...

Right. But for the purpose of this 'trial' of waiting approx 30 days for a freeze, shouldn't I leave it at 2133? According to the Mobo specs anything above a 2133mhz is technically an OC right? https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-Z170X-Gaming-3-rev-10#sp

I noticed after the BIOS update my RAM speed went to 2133 (which is what the CPU supposedly supports) but I think XMP is off now. Because when I turn XMP on to profile1 it sets my RAM to 2400. Does it matter if XMP is on or off?

Ok BIOS has been updated. from F6 to F22j https://i.imgur.com/NBw0C2b.jpg guess I will post back in approx 30 days to see if any freezes occur. If I get one then the next step would be to remove GPU and go another 30 days. If that doesn't do it then I'll have to start buying and swapping...

Great. I also noticed my current gigabyte board has Dual Bios. Is this helpful incase an update goes wrong? I won't be able to revert back to old updates according to Gigabyte's notes https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-Z170X-Gaming-3-rev-10#support-dl-bios I'm on version F6 and F20...

Gonna update it on Thursday. I like to prepare for the worst. If something happens I can atleast go to Microcenter and buy another board. If you like gigabyte, what's another board you can recommend preferably under $130. I am also researching other boards too that are compatible with the...

these are the drivers I updated https://i.imgur.com/8LsUktG.jpg Btw can you recommend another motherboard. Preferably a reliable brand such as asus or any others. if you can specify a particular model that would be great. I read reviews of the one I have and they aren't very favorable...

I'm installing the application, and when I go to update it (the app itself) I get "this driver can't release to failure!!" it updated the @Bios app anyway though however everytime I open @Bios I get the same message about the driver can't release to failure. Anything to worry about?? I can...

Is this what you're referring to? https://www.gigabyte.com/FileUpload/global/Microsite/369/images/app-center.html what is the small risk of doing this btw? Is it just bricking the motherboard or also causing problems to other hardware connected to the motherboard?

I'm not. I've heard updating BIOS can sometimes brick the motherboard, but in this case I can understand updating it because of the issue I'm having. However I don't have a backup motherboard just incase something happens. Are the chances really low? Since I need my computer for school. Ok...

Hi, my computer freezes about every 15-25 days. Longest I've gone keeping it on was probably 28 days, shortest must have been 2 freezes in the span of one week. When it freezes, everything on the monitor is frozen, keyboard/mouse is unresponsive. My HD light on the case also stops flickering...
