Computer randomly freeze/hungs up at radom intervals - Forces Reset
Hey I have been having this problem for the past few months;
My PC will just freeze, everything become unresponsive and I am forced to reset the PC.
This happens at a random time, can be anything from 5 min to a few days after I turn my PC on this will happen - if I am watching a video or playing a game the audio will still transmit for about 10-20 more seconds then will start looping/stalling
This problem has happened the most while watching videos/movies etc on my media player (i have tried multiple media players, will still get the same problem)
It has happened about 2-3 times while playing games
I have tried a few things that I got from google searching this problem
Replaced my SATA cable from mobo to HHD.
Replace my HHD with a brand new one. (I have two HDD now - one is no longer connected, specifically the old drive)
Multiple fresh installs thinking that there was a file conflict.
I actually do not know what to do at this point - I have a feeling that there could be something wrong with my mobo, but as I am a uni student I do not have the funds to go out and buy a new one to test this theory.
If anyone else has ANY suggestion or even better A SOLUTION to this problem, please do tell.
Side note - when I was checking my my system info I noticed that there was a something wrong with my RAM - its says i have 16gb installed but only 13.4gb available (http://puu.sh/gGkkw/229726295c.png)
Just cheeking, does that mean my RAM chips might be damaged and need replacing?
