Locked-Up System (no BSOD)
Hey guys,.
Some of you may know that I just rebuilt my rig, literally from the ground up. (The only not-new parts are my RAM and one of my hard drives, and 1 of 2 graphics cards).
Starting a couple days ago, I seem to come across an issue that locks up the system cold (no BSOD, though). It's happened twice so far. First was starting up Firefox. The moment I clicked the icon, it seized up. Second was when I tried to fire up Adobe Soundbooth CS5. The PC doesn't shut down, or blue-screen. It just freezes.
Usually pressing the hard reset button on the case works however after a doing that the 2nd time, Windows took 3 times too boot properly.
Startup repair found nothing. Eventually it booted as I am using it right now.
I want to lean on the RAM as the culprit. If it is, it's not a big deal to replace it. I've been pondering adding more RAM to go from 4GB to 6 or 8GB anyways.
Tell me what you guys think. Any ideas? (Spec in signature)
