AB22, Thank you for posting in the Intel® Communities Support and for sharing that report. In order for us to provide the most accurate assistance, we just wanted to confirm a few details about your system: Is this a new computer? Was it working fine before? Did you make any recent hardware/software changes? When did the issue start? The problem of the PC getting freeze could be related to many different factors, like memory RAM, HDD/SSD or even the video card. Did you try to restores the BIOS settings to defaults? We can also try a BIOS update on the system, the latest version available is F11: https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/B360M-D3H-rev-10#support-dl-bios Do you have the option to test the PC without the video card? This is to rule out a possible problem with that component. If the problem persists, then we can try to test the PC using just one memory RAM stick at the time with each stick to confirm if that is the source of the problem. We also have a tool to test the processor, Intel® Diagnostics Tool that does an overall test on the unit, including a temperature test, so if the processor passed the test then it should be working fine: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/19792/Intel-Processor-Diagnostic-Tool Do you have the option to test your processor on a different board, or test your board with a different processor?

Hi Alberto,

Hi AB22, You are welcome. Thank you for providing those results. Perfect, it is great to hear that the results all are fine and the temperature are within limits. Just to confirm, is the PC still lagging and freezing when you use it without the GPU? Regards, Alberto R. Intel Customer Support Technician Under Contract to Intel Corporation
