Windows 7 PC freezes randomly (games, Internet, Skype)
I bought a custom PC recently and I'm facing this problem since then. The RAM which they provided gave BSODs. I replaced it with a new RAM module. The weird thing is that now there are no more BSODs but system freezes and hangs when I browse internet, play games, watch movies. I couldn't really identify a pattern. I've not yet tested the new RAM with Memtest. I also tried the same activities in a Linux environemnt (Linux Mint) and everything works fine out there. No freezes or lock ups.
During a freeze, Mouse and Keyboard won't work. CTRL + ALT + DEL won't help either The only way to get out of it is to hold down the power button or hitting the reset button.
The drivers that came with PC are not compatible with Windows 7. I tried Driver Genius and installed NVidia drivers.
Here is the detailed system information.
