Windows 10 hangs after long time idling. - ram issue?

Tue Mar 23, 2021 8:20 pm

Hi my pc:108500K stock 4800mhz

2x16 GB DDR4 GSKILL 3000mhz XMP

Seasonic Tx-850 Ultra Titanium

Gigabyte Rtx 3090 Gaming OC

Aorus Z490 Pro Gaming

1 TB SSD

I have updated Windows 10 to H20,the newest version. I installed windows 1 month ago with new pc. So far so good,games not crashing all stable.My pc is on 24 hours. Today was idle 5-6hours in desktop. After few hours when i go to use pc, i run Google chrome and then all starts slowly responding. I mean i was able to touch/move mouse, but all stops slowly responding. Chrome,search bar,start button stops responding. Then i make ctrl alt delete and black screen with blue circle. So i make hard reset.It happened first time that hang of system.



Is there somewhere my pc not stable or its a windows thing?

Like i said pc was idle 5-6 hours ,when i go to use pc, i turned on google chrome and then all starts slowly hanging. I checked EVENT VIEWER: Nothing,0 entries about any errors.Thx.

ah ps
NZXT cam was on background and epic launcher + steam.

( ah Windows was 3 days without reboot when that happens )
PS:Running currently Karhu Ram test no errors.

It is most certainly a memory issue of some kind. I would strongly recommend pushing through several runs of Memtest86. The tricky part is determining if it is a faulty DIMM, faulty DIMM slot on the motherboard or the motherboard/memory controller doesn't like the timings/speed. It will require a bit of trial and error using individual sticks and slots.

I wouldn't rule out some kind of sleep/idle issue with one of your peripherals.

I had a similar issue a while back and ended up uninstalling Chrome and then reinstalling. Never quite figured out the root cause, but the symptoms were basically the same as what you are describing... the machine would run fine for hours and then if I opened Chrome everything ground to a halt.

It does sound like a RAM issue, so it's good that you're testing that - but if the RAM keeps coming up clean, you might want to consider a cleanup of Chrome.
