My ongoing Windows 7 freeze part 3

It might be, and let me know how it goes :)

Well I now know that it's not the streaming software I just got a hardlock while using chrome, it's sounding like the instability rate is increasing.
This is on the old mobo still.
After looking at similar problems to mine the fault may lie with either the Mobo or the CPU but im leaning towards the Mobo as im not sure about the CPU yet.

I think it may be more motherboard, you could test the CPU if you wanted.

Gave a 53 min test of Prime95 but i may run it for longer, well it's odd that the RMA didn't even detect an issue with this Mobo.

Give it a few hours at least, and run all three tests of Prime95: Small FFT's, Large FFT's and Blend Test.

Well I fitted in the new mobo it seems good havent tried most things yet since I need to reinstall some programs.

That's good to know, let us how it goes when you've completely sorted out the system again.

Sorted out my system which all works to a nice spec, but it takes multiple presses of the reset switch to actually get it to the OS splash screen, my mobo is ASRock Z77 Extreme 4

This may be helpful - My computer does not start unless I restart it multiple times.

On the previous motherboard everything booted up fine but as soon as I used this new mobo it happened.
Also from the ASRock manual handbook it said that a 93 is a PCI Hot Bus Plug Initialization, any idea what that is?
