    Random Computer Freezes, No BSOD Error


    Hello Everyone!

    I've been getting some random freezes with no BSOD error since I put my computer together. I've already been told by several others to replace my power supply, which is exactly what I did. However, I have a feeling it's something else.

    Here's exact build:

    1 x Diablotek EVO RPA-6170 Black 0.6mm SECC ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
    1 x ASRock Z77 Pro3 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
    1 x SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 6850 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card with Eyefinity (100315L)
    1 x Antec High Current Gamer Series HCG-620 620W ATX12V v2.3 / EPS12V v2.91 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply
    1 x Intel Core i5-2500K Sandy Bridge 3.3GHz (3.7GHz Turbo Boost) LGA 1155 95W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 3000 BX80623I52500K
    2 x Crucial 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Desktop Memory Model BLT2KIT4G3D1337DT1TX0
    1 x Seagate ST310005N1A1AS-RK 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive
    1 x LG DVD Burner Black SATA Model GH24NS90 - OEM

    2 x Acer S231HLbid Black 23" 5ms HDMI LED-Backlight LCD monitor Slim Design
    1 x Hauppauge Colossus - Record your high definition video gameplay and TV programs by H.264 for resolution up to 1080i, PCI-Express x1 Interface

    Windows 7 Ultimate

    I've already checked all my connections, re-seated all of my components, and made sure to blow out any dust or debris with some compressed air.

    I also ran sfc /scannow, and there are no errors reported.

    What do I do now?

    I found the solution.

    My motherboard automatically set the memory timing to 9-9-9-24. The spec on the RAM I bought calls for a 7-7-7-24 timing, so I went into BIOS and changed it to that.

    So far, no problems, especially after a 4-hour Prime95 stress test.

    Case closed.
