FallenWarrior Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 So, I had to replace my motherboard after my computer suffered a power surge (thanks fucking neighbor and shitty building owners). Everything was working fine for a while, but now my computer hangs now and then which forces me to do a reboot. I've checked the memory and hard drives and they are working as they should with no errors (even replaced my main graphics card with my spare one). Any ideas about what the heck the problem might be?
kingkong Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 there might be 2 things - you did not do a complete reinstalation of the systeme different motherbord needs different drivers and or bios update. - or the less probable but possible a faulty chepset on the motherboard
FallenWarrior Posted November 4, 2013 Author Posted November 4, 2013 I did a complete reinstall of the computer and motherboard (not the first time I build computers), and all the drivers are installed including bios being up to date. I highly doubt that it would be a faulty chipset on the the motherboard, considering I bought the ASUS Sabertooth Z77 motherboard http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/SABERTOOTH_Z77/. And considering I can play games just fine without any problems....
kingkong Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 than it hangs in special occasions which one ? while gaming with oblivion or other games The more you give details the more others can try and give worthy solutions.
gregathit Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 If you want help you need to post your full computer specifications, your OS specifications, what game(s) you are getting the hang on and a full description of what all happens. Without all of that we can't do shit for you. Well other than feel sorry for ya........

Are you using Firefox? Mozilla screwed up the browser starting with v24. Go to Options > Advanced > General and turn off "Use Hardware Acceleration When Available". When I updated to v24, my whole system started lagging and eventually froze. Kept doing a hard reboot. When switching to Chrome and Opera, everything ran smoothly. Did a new install of Firefox 25 and the problem returned. After turning off Hardware Acceleration, the lagging and freezing stopped.
FallenWarrior Posted November 5, 2013 Author Posted November 5, 2013 Yeah, I'm using Firefox. Will turn it off and see how it goes.

Still waiting for my new network cable to arrive though (fucking post office)
