Freezing / locking

Hey guys and gals. i'm at my wits end w/ this machine. i've been having some weird freezing w/ this thing for about 6 months? I can be in the middle of just browsing or doing school work and just freeze. i go to restart and sometimes it would freeze upon the restart. sometimes i have to push restart button several times to finaly get it to start up because it would freeze and different points in the restart.

Ive since done, RE-install of windows, changed CPU from I7 960 to a 920 cpu, new 256SSD previous was a 128, and just installed different memory "compatible memory" I was on 16gb Corsair dominator, thought that was the issue so i purchased 8gb of compatible Kinston ram.

it seems like a hard ware issue but i'm not sure. just kinda tired of it. cant plan to do anything because of the random freezing. ive contacted windows and they said ram. so i switched to their recomended ram. so now it leaves me to believe its the Mother board unless its a windows problem.

thank you for your help.

my build is
System Model DX58SO2_
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 930 @ 2.80GHz, 2794 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s)
Installed Physical Memory (RAM) 8.00 GB
Nvidia gtx 550

windows 7 64 bit.

thanks again.

Uninstall Norton and all Symentec products using Norton Removal tool. Use Microsoft Security Essentials as your antivirus with windows inbuilt firewall, and free MBAM as the on demand scanner.

Download, install and update those, and then run full system scans with both of them, one by one. Also, scan the system for possible virus infection with the following programs.

• Anti-rootkit utility TDSSKiller
• Windows Defender Offline

Let us know the results.

There are other failing modules, but it is to look at those again after removing the primary crash causer Norton.

Have you done it as stated in post #2?

Also, scan the system for possible virus infection with the following programs.

• Anti-rootkit utility TDSSKiller
• Windows Defender Offline

What are the results?

When you installed Norton it may have turned off the built in Windows 7 firewall.
Make sure the Windows firewall in turned on. Then try to install MSE and update it.

I have never known Malwarebytes to ever stop MSE or damage it.

Please attach the TDSSkiller logs (on C:\ - easily identified).

Also, run AdwCleaner by Xplode:
Follow only these steps in the General Changelog Team tutorial:

1. Download
2. Scan
3. Clean

Full tutorial: How to use AdwCleaner version 3.x

Malware is often difficult to erradicate - it is even more difficult if more than one path is taken on different sites.

As you have posted the issue here on SevenForums, also post any logs here on SevenForums - not on the General Changelog Team (GCT) site. SevenForums members might ask you to launch other on-demand scanners that are not familiar to GCT.
Logs can be found in C:\AdwCleaner.

When your system is clean of malware, launch AdwCleaner a final time and click the Uninstall button.

- check all motherboard connections..
- make sure that everything is secure, especially any HD or SATA drives..

Did you or did you not check Windows 7 firewall to be on?
