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.
