Random BSOD and Lockups
I'm getting close to my wits end have viewed several posts and threads to no avail. My computer will randomly lock up for sometimes a few seconds to maybe a few minutes, at times it will even blue screen on me. I've tried to reproduce the issue by running various stress and integrity tests on my memory (memtestx86) my cpu, and GPU. After passing all of the tests I called up asrock and intel and had them replace my motherboard and CPU. I've also reinstalled windows 3 times now and have run Sfc -scan on several occasions. I also uninstalled and removed driver software for my GPU, SoundBlaster, and GPU and waited for windows to find and reinstall, but issue persisted. I can run every stress test simultaneously and not have any problems, then open up Firefox to look for another thread to have it freeze up while typing in google search. I'm about to reinstall windows 7 back onto my SSD and am wondering if Windows 7 is not detecting my SSD correctly, or my BIOS settings (even at default) are not setup correctly for what I'm doing. Can someone chime in? I feel like this is something in the BIOS or that I need to load some drivers before hand to make this go correctly, but anything is helpful.
