Daily full system lock up on fresh installs of windows 7 64 bit
Hi I haven't been on here in quite sometime because I've never really been this stuck before. My computer and my sisters new computer both have the same freezing problem. Randomly, things like opening chrome or accessing drives will make the computer start to slow down, freeze, and then require a restart. This never happened for me before until I got a new SSD and reinstalled windows. However I'm fairly sure it has nothing to do with my SSD because my sister's computer doesn't have one. The only hardware our computers have in common is Gigabyte motherboards (she has 970a I have 990fxa) however both boards seem to work, and mine has worked fine since the beginning of summer. The computers can run linux fine, as well as windows 7 in safe mode. Once in normal start up though, the freezing will occur again. I've been pulling my hair out for weeks and I can't figure out ANYTHING that could be doing this. Since it's isolated to windows 7 in normal boot, and since I have tested most my hardware for errors (and it's all new anyways) My best guess is that it is some type of crippling driver problem. I don't know why though, and I don't know why it disappears and reappears so much. For instance right now my computer is fine and I'm using chrome, however at any time, launching chrome or closing chrome could start hanging my system, as well as doing literally nothing could. I have re installed windows on both computers, time after time after time. I have tried installing MOBO drivers and leaving them out, I have tried every combination of MOBO settings I can imagine, no matter what i do inside windows or out, it KEEPS crashing, on both computers, at complete random. I'm turning here because I have exhausted my mind, options, and time and have not made an inch of progress to getting these computers stable. Please help!
