Hey guys, in December I built my first computer. It worked out great until now. About every 10 minutes everything on my computer will cease to work and no commands work (such as ctrl + alt + delete) for about a minute and then everything starts to work again and the commands that I issued while it was froze instantly work. If I have music playing the it'll pause and pick up where it left off. When this freeze occurs I can hear my computer get a bit loud.
Today I reinstalled my computer and the problem still occurs. I ran chkdsk and defragmented my HDD but nothing changed. I ran memory tests and RAM seems to be fine. When this freeze occurs this occurs in Event Viewer
wuaueng.dll (960) SUS20ClientDataStore: A request to write to the file "C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore\DataStore.edb" at offset 10944512 (0x0000000000a70000) for 32768 (0x00008000) bytes succeeded, but took an abnormally long time (92 seconds) to be serviced by the OS. This problem is likely due to faulty hardware. Please contact your hardware vendor for further assistance diagnosing the problem.
I have a lot of these warnings except they have different directories.
My specs are:
Windows 7 64bit
8gb RAM
AMD 6570
Asrock z68
3 2100 (Idle temperature around 44, is this too high?)
Thank you.

I hate to bump my own thread but I want to get back to streaming.... is this fixable? Or do I need to try a new HDD?

It seems like ram issue, memory tests just try to put data in your ram and take it out immediately to test it. But your problem seems like the ram lose the data after a while. Try taking out one of your rams and if necessary try them one by one.

Still happens with either RAM.

Well, after reading your problem again i started to think that it might be a graphic card issue too, i've seen that kind of freezing and coming back a few times. Try updating your drivers to the latest, you can use this free program to do it. It's fast and easy.
Here is the link: http://drp.su/
Try updating the drivers in "safe mode with network support" if necessary and see if it does it in safe mode too. Most likely it won't though.
If you have an onboard graphic card, try taking out your card and test it with your onboard graphics card. If not, try to find a graphics card from somewhere to test it.

Alright ill be back in 30 minutes and try that, thanks man.

It's a hard drive issue. Not GPU related at all. Unfortunately I don't have a solution..

I updated all my drivers and installed new ones but nothing changed.
I'll try a new gpu tomorrow though I really think it's the HDD.

if you're going that rout, just get a cheap hard drive, I bet it will fix your problem.

This is a hard drive issue, nothing with the GPU, since audio is also affected. Don't bother trying a new GPU unless you don't have to pay for it

Alright thanks. Are there any ways to fix my harddrive? chkdsk, reformatting and defragmenting all did nothing to help :/

The first thing you need to do is to save all the important stuff from it on an external hard drive, I have to assume that your HD is screwed and you need a new one.
|
I had a spare 150gb HDD lying around. It was corrupt and I couldn't boot it but I deleted the partition and hopefully W7 will work. I should be able to run W7 and my games on this drive while using my other drive (the one that freezes) for movies and stuff, right?

If you self-built this PC from new parts in December, there should be a manufacturer's warranty on the hard drive. Some of them even do advance replacement.
