Hi my pc:
108500K stock 4800mhz
2x16 GB DDR4 GSKILL 3200mhz 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 10 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 suddenly freezed. I mean i was able to touch/move mouse, but all stops resonding. Chrome,search bar,start button stops responding. Then i make ctrl alt delete and black screen with blue circle. So i make hard reset by finger.
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 suddenly hangs. I checked EVENT VIEWER: Nothing,0 entries about any errors.
Thx.


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


PS:Running currently Karhu Ram test no errors.
. Also Metro Exodus Sam story running now overnight to be sure about stability. But i will be greatful for advices :)

I know you said your CPU is stock, but this isn't that uncommon when overclocking CPUs. It's caused by the sudden voltage spike when coming out of C-States (low power states).

If you can easily replicate the hang, try disabling all low power modes and C-States in your BIOS and see if it still does it.

Last question. I remember that when i make CTRL ALT DELETE ,then black screen apeared with blue circle ( instead of mouse arrow ) and then mouse stops responding and keyboard. Caps Lock stops worked. So Windows 10 get locked. Anyway it doesnt mean hardware issue necesarry?

Computers crash occasionally. it`s normal. You had one crash in 10 months. That`s normal. Forget it!!

A few months ago I worked on a computer with a faulty GPU that crashed many times a day. I replaced it. That was a problem that needed to be fixed.

Hey last question. Somebody said this to me:"check reliability monitor. If software issue it will show what software. If reliability dont show, then is hardware"

So i dont had any entries during that time in reliability. So it was hardware issue like he said or not ?

Last question , i swear. Somebody from tenforums said this to me:"
Many possible causes- you name it, it could happen.
PSU, RAM, disk, timing issues, dodgy hardware, overheating (any evidence?), overclocking (are you?), software bug, mismatched RAM (is all correct and consistent?).... "


So it was because i have dogdy hardware?

It could even be caused by Cosmic Rays. No joke; PCs can have memory or registers change state by a cosmic ray particle, causing a crash. Little you can do to avoid it without using ECC memory or going underground.
