HELP! Freezing Custom Desktop
Hey everyone,
I have a custom-built desktop, revamped from an older custom-built desktop. I have replaced most of it since my last mobo died, and ever since, I have been getting some strange instances of freezing. It happens fairly often, and doesn't consistently adhere to any patterns of operation, but definitely tends to freeze at certain times.
To clarify, I notice it often happens not long after coming out of sleep mode or powering up. I'll often get a few seconds/minutes of use, then it locks up. I suspect it might be video related since I've noticed 25% of the time, it seems to freeze up once a video starts playing when I'm checking Facebook. Still, these are just things I've noticed, and might be entirely coincidental. I should note that I have replaced the power supply already since my previous one went bad, but it's still behaving exactly the same.
Here's my specs:
Windows 7 Ultimate
Asus z97-ar motherboard
Intel i5-4690K 3.50GHz
8GB 1600 DDR3 memory
Nvidia Geforce 9800 GTX +
2x Crucial Ballistix Sport 4GB
Thermaltake Smart 75OW PSU
Western Digital Black 3 TB HD (master)
Western Digital Black 1 TB (slave)
