Hello everyone. I'm having an issue with my current PC running BI (dedicated to BI only) and running my cams, the computer will be completely frozen sometimes after half a day, sometimes after a week, and anything in between. I'm wondering if it may be that I have too many cams on this G4560 processor, but I've run the frames down quite low. Sometimes I can see the monitor frozen, others the monitors goes to sleep and wont wake up to mouse/keyboard input. PC appears on (CPU fan is running).
Rig:
ASRock Deskmini 110W Intel Socket LGA1151 Intel H110 Steel Body & Plastic Bezel Black Barebone System
Intel Pentium G4560 - Pentium Kaby Lake Dual-Core 3.5 GHz LGA 1151 54W Intel HD Graphics 610 Desktop Processor
G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB 260-Pin DDR4 SO-DIMM DDR4 2400 (PC4 19200) Extreme Performance Memory Model F4-2400C16S-8GRSB
Noctua NH-L9i, Premium Low-profile CPU Cooler for Intel LGA115x
2.5" 250GB SSD, Mushkin I think
Cams:
qty 2 DH-IPC-HFW4433F-ZSA
qty 10 DH-IPC-HDW4433C-A
Cams are configured to (on web portal):
Main stream: H.264H, smart codec OFF, 2560x1440, 10 fps, bit rate type CBR, bit rate 2048, I-frame interval 20, SVC 1(off)
Sub stream enabled: H.264H, (D1) 704x480, 10 fps, bit rate type CBR, bit rate 1024, I-frame interval 20, SVC 1(off)
Some other details:
Do you think I'm jus trying to run too much stuff and it's causing a hardware failure? Any recommendations (if this is the case) on what settings I should drop? Should I try reducing the FPS on the main streams (recorded in BI at 10 fps on motion trigger), or sub streams (used for phone app live view, not recording - I do use a VPN server for this).
Thanks!

Some other details:
- Windows 10 Home, fully updated
- I have latest BI drivers, maintenance/support plan installed, I've tried both version 4 and 5 (I think 4 is the only one that works for me)
- I don't record anything continuously, only on motion trigger, and one file per 24-hr
- Direct to disk
- Hardware acceleration enabled
- Running as a service
- Have never seen a temperature excursion, and CPU seems to sit around ~25-30% (if I'm remembering correctly) when no motion trigger events. When there's several concurrent motion triggers it goes up to maybe 80%? At least that's what I've been able to see.
- I've tried wiping the drive and starting clean install of Windows, BI, etc.
- I've removed bloat from Windows 10 Home, and no other programs have been installed on the machine
- I've tried to check Windows crash logs and couldn't find much, it happens at random times, and I'm never using the PC for anything else
- Cameras have static IPs and al of that, I can see the cameras just fine
