Completely Random Hangups / Freezes
For a week now, my computer has been locking up, freezing, hanging, whatever you want to call it, at completely random times. Sometimes I am using it, sometimes it's been sitting idle for an hour or more.
I reinstalled Windows on a fresh hard drive and recovered my pictures, documents, and music from a backup and still have the same problem.
I pulled out all the RAM and reseated it, and ran Memtest86+, which it passed with flying colors.
I was cooling the CPU with a Corsair H50, and the intercooler was full of dust. I removed it and replaced it with a regular heatsink (yes, I applied thermal compound). The CPU is now running around 40 C.
Any help that can be provided is greatly appreciated.
