Far Cry 4 - computer froze. Only hard reset helps.

Hello dear forum.
First my pc:
4790 stock
8gb ram
Sabertooth Z79 Mark2
Msi Gaming 980 ( Oc factory )
Corsair 750 RM
HDD 500GB SATAIII
So 5 days ago when playing Far Cry 4 my computer suddenly freezes with "BZZZZZ" sound.
( ctrl alt del and so on didn't work I had to pull the power and restart. )
So only hard reset helps.
Question of course . Why i was had one single hard freez 5 days ago?
There is no any minidumps file to analyze. Minidump folder is empty.
No minidump file.
Nothing appears in the Event Viewer other than the typical error messages stating that the previous shutdown was unexpected.
On windows event log i have this:
Log Name: System
Source: Microsoft-Windows-Kernel-Power
Event ID: 41
Level: Critical
Description:
The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.
It can be game or something with hardware?
After that i run even Prime95 Blend for 10 hours, without errors.
I test Watchdogs for 2 hours , no crash.
I test Metro Last Light for 2 hours, no crash.
I test Unigine Valley for 1 hour, no crash.
I test 3dmark 11 Extreme loop for 1 hour , no crash.
Also i dont OC my pc, all is stock.
I am using 334.75 WHQL drivers.
What you think that freeze was game\software or hardware related?
Like i say all is fine now, but i am worried about that one single freez ( only hard reset helps ) from 5 days ago.
Thank you for any suggestion.
Should i be worried?
Yes it happens only once, so thats why i create a topic problem. Because i want to know , what caused that one single freez. I never had freez like this even before.
The most strange that my freeze happened once, 5 days ago. I am now 100 hours in game ( Far Cry 4 of course ) and nothing happened again.
It can be software or hardware problem?
Freez was related to software or hardware then ? What you think?

  • IPod Classic 120GB is not recognized by computer even after hard reset

    I have an iPod Classic and it recently would act like it was playing music but was not in reality. I ended up having to hard reset the iPod. Now that it has been reset it will not sync with my computer. I hook it up and the screen reads +do not disconnect+ my iTunes will not recognize that there is an iPod connected and when I open My Computer it often freezes or tells me that I need to reformat the iPod for it to be recoginzed by Windows. I do not have the option to format it to FAT 32 though. What do I do??

    This is my iPOD
    iPod (touch wheel)
    All iPod (touch wheel) models have a FireWire port cover. Scroll wheel models don't, and dock connector models don't have a FireWire port. The iPod (touch wheel) model controls look similar to the iPod (scroll wheel) but the touch wheel itself does not turn. iPod (touch wheel) models are considered second generation iPod models. The top of an iPod (touch wheel) model is shown here:
    I went into the link and looked at the 5 R's. Nothing there. I couldn't restore the iPod if I wanted considering I would need to connect my iPod to the Computer which I cannot do.
    Putting iPod into Disk Mode - did not work - I tried the click wheel instructions, but it did nothing at all....it was totally unresponsive. then I went and did the *If you have an older iPod model without a Click Wheel* instructions get to the fourth step where it says
    *When the Apple logo appears, immediately press and hold the Previous and Next buttons until the Disk Mode screen appears.*
    but the Disk Mode screen does not appear. It goes straight to ""ok to disconnect"
    Is there something else going on or something trivial that I could be doing that could be messing up these instructions?

  • My ipad quit backing up and it cannot find the file.  I tried putting on another computer after a hard reset but it says it cannot back up there either.

    My ipad quit backing up because it cannot find the file.  I have tried a restore and hard reset and adding itunes to another computer and putting it on there but it still will cannot add the ipad to the new computer and back up.  I have an iPad (not iPad 2) and 5.01 OS.  It appears that my iPad is not fully fuctional since I updated to the new OS which is when my ipad stopped backing up.  I lost data too and some apps don't work anymore.

    Have you previously synced photos to the iPad, as that occasionally causes the 'missing file' error. If so then try deleting the photo cache from your computer and then re-try backing up - the location of the cache, and how to delete it, is on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314.
    In terms of apps not working, if it's happening on all the apps that you've downloaded from the App Store, but not the Apple built-in ones, then try downloading any free app from the store (as that appears to reset something) and then re-try them - the free app can then be deleted.
    If it's happening on all apps then try closing them all completely and then see if they work when you re-open them : from the home screen (i.e.not with any app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of each app to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • IPod won't start after hard reset - help appreciated

    I had a problem with syncing my iPod with iTunes. I connected and it strated syncing alright. After a couple of seconds everything froze. Smart as I am I thought there might be some errors on any of my disks the syncing process is reading from. Couldn't find anyhting though. My secodn guess would that I just bought a new external hard drive to which I transferred my library (maybe the iPod didn't knwo where to look).
    So my best guess was to perform a hard reset and re-sync everything. So I hooked up the iPod and quickly pressed the stop syncing button before nayhting could freeze. That worked well. You probably can guess what happened when performed the hard reset.....everything froze. And now.....my iPod is trying to restart, but at a certain point I hear the drive disconnect and starting up again. This keeps repeating over and over again. Hooking it up to my macbook has no avail. Any suggestions?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    It is very ikely that there is no way to recover any data from the iPod

  • Keyboard (hardware & onscreen) suddenly don't work anymore - only factory reset helps

    I have my Passport for about a month now and just experienced the following problem for the second time: all of sudden the keyboard (both hardware and onscreen) don't work anymore. I cannot enter my device password anymore, I can focus the password dialog, but then simply nothing happens when I press keys.
    After a restart of the Passport it asks me for my SIM card PIN. Again, I can focus the text field in the dialog, and I can touch numbers of the onscreen keyboard, and the number keys light up, but no input gets to the dialog.
    There is simply no way to activate the device anymore. I can do a backup using BlackBerry Link, and I can access the device with BlackBerry Blend - but the device itself is useless. No kind of restart or reset helps. The only solution is to do a factory reset, after that the device works fine again - for some time.
    Once this happened while I was on the road, without doing anything with the device. The second time it happened when I was trying to deploy a self written app using the Momentics IDE.
    Additional information:
    - development mode is on (needed since I want to develop Apps for BB10)
    - Snap is installed
    - a handful of Android apps from Google Play store are installed
    - two BlackBerry World apps are installed (whatsapp and HUB++LED)
    Did anyone experienced similar issues or has an idea what might cause this problem?
    Thanks!

    Have you tried using a usb keyboard/mouse?
    I don't use any usb, only use PS2. Maybe it is possible to use some sort of a PS2 to usb converter, but I would rather like the PS2 to work.

  • N85 going slow after hard reset - help

    Hello
    I did a hard reset on the phone and now everything is going really slowly, especially messaging. Any solution please? Do I download new software and how?
    thank you.
    Message Edited by mark24601 on 05-Nov-2009 02:48 PM

    Make sure there is nothing installing in the background at times after hard reset the phone tries to install some applications that was stored in the card, so wait for sometime or try installing applications on the phone removing the memory card.

  • My Iphone 5c is not turning on even after hard reset, help

    Iphone 5c is not turning on after i charged it last night. I have tried holding down the sleep button and home button, not helping.

    Hello there, mila's mom.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers some great steps for troubleshooting the very issue you're describing:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    Contact Apple Support.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • Hard reset damage on freezing issue

    What is the likelyhood of damaging my iMac after about 40 plus hard resets and counting since update 1.1 has come out, freezing my computer.

    I believe hard resets (with the power button) are safe. As I understand it, the button generates a "non-maskable interrupt" -- causing the system to shutdown under processor control. That's very different from removing power by "pulling the plug."
    Even "pulling the plug" is very unlikely to cause permanent hardware damage, but it can lead to data corruption on the hard drive -- such that the OS will no longer boot. In that case, the only repair is an OS re-insall.

  • Endless backup after hard reset

    After i hav had a hard reset of my macbok pro my time machine (with time capsule) always start doing a full backup even though it's not necessary.

    Thanks!

    What do you mean by that?  A forced power-off?
    If you're having to do that frequently, you have some sort of serious problem you need to address.

    Do you get any messages?  If so, what? 
    A forced power-off might cause corrupted backups, especially if a backup was in progress.  But that would prevent new backups, not make Time Machine start fresh, unless you get this message:
    If that's it, see #C13 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.

  • Memory full/freezing/want hard reset

    I have a palm pilot Z22 that has been freezing up lately.  The memory is getting close to full.  So I thought if I do a hard reset and delete evrerything I could start over with a clean "hard drive".  I am wondering if I do a hard reset, will I lose all the contact info that has been synced with my computer after the hard reset?  For example, with iTunes whatever is on your ipod is on your computer itunes and vise versa.  With my palm, I want to keep all the info in contacts but now add more to it with a freed up memory.  Any suggestions?
    Post relates to: Palm Z22

    Make sure you hotsync to make Palm Desktop or Outlook (whichever you use) to make it current. Hard reset the handheld, change the hotsync conduits to desktop overwrites handheld and then sync.
    For reference purposes, click on the following link for the support page for your device on the kb.palm.com webpage.
    http://kb.palm.com/wps/portal/kb/na/zire/z22/unlocked/home/page_en.html
    There are links on the page to the user guide, troubleshooting, how to's, downloads, etc.
    The best way to preserve your data is to export the data in each category in Palm Desktop to a seperate folder on your PC.
    Create a new folder on your PC somewhere that is convenient. Name it something like Palm Desktop Data. Click on the link below and follow the instructions on that page for the export procedure.
    http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=28734
    Make sure you select all for the range in the export window.
    With the data saved in the folder you created, make a copy of that folder and save to a flash drive, cd-rw or external hard drive.
    Anytime you make a change in Palm Desktop, export the data that was changed to that folder and save again to the external media.
    With this process you can always import the data back into Palm Desktop anytime you have a problem with the data in Palm Desktop or if your computer/hard drive/device crashes.
