I would like to pick your brains regarding one of my rigs that freezes solid after a few days. I have changed the add2psu, swapped around risers, changed PSU's but with 2x Zotac 1080ti mini and 4x 1070ti it dies on a regular basis. Specs:
Windows 10, latest updates
Latest nvidia drivers
Asus Z270-P with latest bios
4GB ram
intel G3930
m.2 SSD 128GB
1 EVGA 750W and 1 EVGA G1 1000W
When it freezes the fans are still running at whatever speed they were running prior to freezing. Event logger doesn't help but these are the only errors and stuff I can see there:
-License Activation (slui.exe) failed with the following error code:hr=0x80070422 (I assume it's because this copy is not registered)
-The description for Event ID 0 from source igfxCUIService2.0.0.0 cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer. If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event. The following information was included with the event: Received Post Shell Event 1
The other thing I noticed is that the mouse cursor is lagging in teamviewer on that machine.
I am completely out of ideas. The only thing I can think of now sending the ram, mobo and cpu back to amazon and getting new ones. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
The igfxCUIService2.0.0.0 warning is related to the Intel HD graphics on the CPU. Try disabling it in the BIOS. It will probably be called 'integrated graphics' or 'iGPU'.
Also Teamviewer can cause issues, try using VNC.
Thanks, I will try to disable it and run it without that. (the monitor is actually plugged into that in case I wanna sit in front of it) I do use teamviewer on all my rigs, so far no issues with it but I am happy to try anything on this rig as it drives me complete nuts.
If you have any other ideas please do not hold back!
Ps.: That raises another questions, if the igpu is screwed doesn't that mean that the processor is faulty?
not or maybe the cpu is bad. but windows and 6 cards with only a celeron and 4gb things happen.
look for how much cpu usage. See if you are over 45% do you use afterburner? it will show you cpu useage
you should try that rig with smos .
I have found smos can use a shit cpu and 4gb ram without much issue.
I have found windows need more cpu and more ram.
this happens on the bigger rigs.
I still use windows on a few rigs but much more rigs on smos.
What you said coupled with the iGPU problem I think I will return the G3930 and order something beefier. I just have to figure out which one would be good enough price/power consumption-wise.
I will give SMOS a shot see if it works with that.
Do you think this Intel Pentium® Processor G4560T would be enough or I gotta go higher to an i3?
That Celeron 3930 is working for me on a BIOSTAR TB250 MoBo with 9 GPUs on Windows 10. I did the tweaks mentioned here:

Having said that, the G4560T should be fine and won't "cost an arm and a leg".
yeah but the mobos bios and chipset is different which may be why you got the celeron to work okay.
