[HELP] PC froze, unsure what went wrong

[Gforce8]

Hi guys.

I'm reaching out to all of you guys and at the same time hoping my pc will not 'freeze' as I am creating this post. This is a newly built rig and I am running everything on auto and at stock at this point of time.

Occasionally, while I am using my pc, the whole system will just freeze. Mouse pointer freezes at its spot, reset button does not respond, nothing happens when I press ctrl-alt-del. However, fans are turning, LED strip in my rig is still working, there's light at the Corsair H110i GTX heatsink. Nothing seems to be amiss when the 'freezing' happens. There is no indicator what may have went wrong.

I can leave my pc idle and this will happen, sometimes I am just surfing net and it will happen.

Any form of help is greatly appreciated. If you need any more information about my rig please don't hesitate to ask. Thank you guys in advance!

Check your rams by using memtest. If there is an error, rma it.

alright, I will try that. Also, do I need to manually configure to run the rams at their rated timings and voltage or the mobo will detect it and configure it automatically for me?

No need. Just run it.

try increasing DRAM voltage by 0.01V or 0.02V, i.e. set it as 1.21V or 1.22V, see if it helps.

Displaying the ram settings as 1200Mhz is correct?Is it due to the dual channel configuration?

Didn't have enough time to complete the whole test. So far didn't show any error and the image above showed where did I stop the test at. Will let memtest complete running later when I'm home after work.

Alright! This will be the next thing I try if the 'freezing' happens again.
