Intermittent System Lockups - Windows BSOD Dump
For the last year or so, (possibly ever since I've built this computer ) I have been experiencing intermittent lock ups while doing regular web browsing / excel tasks. Generally, the system will "lock up" for around 30 seconds to a minute and then resume functioning as normal. During this lock up any window I click will fade white until the lock up ends about a minute later.
This was only a minor annoyance and I would see it happen about 3 or 4 times over the course of an 8 hour workday.
Starting yesterday however, the system no longer returns from the lockup. Instead, it stays "hung" for 1 or 2 minutes before completely blacking out and restarting. For whatever reason the restart also seems to fail most of the time and I have to manually turn the computer off and back on. I've tried doing some basic memory testing, psu testing, and experimenting with the different applications I'm running with no luck.
While I'm not directly seeing the BSOD, I do have logs in the windows event viewer corresponding to the lockup times that state it is a Blue Screen Event.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
