Windows 7 crashing under certain circumstances
My computer specs:
- asus rampage II extreme motherboard
- intel i7 920 processor
- Nvidia GeForce 9600 GSO graphics card
- Windows 7 Ultimate x64
The problem first occurred when I came to my room and turned on my tv to find my desktop screen all frazzled (my computer had been on). I first assumed it was my tv so I connected it to a CRT monitor and the display was the same. I could not see my mouse moving and I could not get into the task manager so I had to turn off my computer by holding down the power button. I turned my computer on and entered into safe mode and the problem did not occur. In safe mode I saved all my files in the library (videos, documents) and cleanly installed Windows 7 (I made sure to format my drive). After windows had installed the windows aero theme was not on so when I turned it on the problem started happening. First the screen frazzled slightly and I had limited mouse control but after a couple of second I could not move the cursor or any thing else. On the Windows SevenForums I was lucky enough to find someone else with a machine with similar symptoms. https://www.sevenforums.com/crashes-d...tem-resto.html
This person's solution was to to perform a repair and there was a guide for the repair on the post and I followed the guide, but the problem continues to persist. After completing the repair I also ran sfc /scannow and had I a clean report. Currently I have windows 7 running the classic theme. The freeze occurs when I change my theme back to aero, and every time during the windows experiance index where windows rates the machine. To be exact it happen when it is performing the direct3d 9 Texture Load Assessment. The freeze has also occurred when I ran certain browser videos. A youtube video, a live stream video from own3d.tv, and an hd stream from netfliks.ca. An sd stream from netfliks gave no problem and I also watched a 720p .mkv file without trouble.
I have no idea what is wrong and I would appreciate it if some could tell me whether the problem is hardware based or software based.
I am attaching some picture that i took with my phone of the freeze up.
