PC playing up

[Easy-X]

Fuffin' computers, I fuffin' hate 'em! Which is a bit inconvenient seeing as I work in IT

My main PC occasionally has a problem going to sleep. After a manual reset it's usually either completely fine, reboots on it's own or locks up - usually within the first 5 mins. Second reboot it's perfectly fine again.

Random reboots says to me power supply or motherboard. The former wouldn't be much to swap but the latter? I may as well build a new PC. This thing's getting a bit old though, 7th gen Intel, so maybe not worth the effort of keeping it creaking on

Replace the power supply first. If that's not the issue, you have a new power supply for your new PC.

I'd normally help, but sleep mode is shite in general, I'd rather turn it off It boots in sub 10 seconds anyway so fuck it.

Ah sometimes event viewer brings some identification. Sometimes not.

Tried resetting the BIOS. Dunno what was up with the old settings but it boots to Windows in seconds now so that's something

Didn't fix it though as tonight I got a BSOD. This is actually progress as I can run a dump analysis* and maybe get some clues; so begins an epic journey

Windbg had a moan up about the NT kernel which usually points to a driver issue. Cue Windows' driver verifier which crashed on reboot (don't worry, it's meant to) and had a moan up about HID classes. I uninstalled any old drivers I could find - Saitek and Logitech needing some heavy registry editing to remove completely - and tried again.

My system now boots up with driver verify running. Hooray? Maybe. I wouldn't suspect what should be inactive HID drivers to kill a system but Saitek apparently has a poor reputation. However if my system does crash again hopefully the driver verify process will point out the real culprit.

The journey continues....

*Poke it with a shitty stick.

Progress! Not sure whether driver verify helped reveal it but had a crash this morning. System locked up but this time I left it and after a few minutes I got a BSOD. Dump analysis pointed to "EasyTuneService" which is part of the Gigabyte overclocking suite, uninstall!

Fingers crossed we have winner

Easy tune is a good thing to remove, as with most apps along those lines.

Its an automatic overlocking app which just chucks voltage and cranks the clock without any real thought behind it.

Glad you seem to have it sorted o7
