So, since about the 5th of this month I've been having a lot of problems with my relatively new build (Built in mid-Jan).
Onto the numerous problems...
I've been having random BSOD crashes, these have been completely unpredictable.
Firefox has also been extremely random and frequent in it's crashes; sometimes it will crash multiple times as I try to start it up.
Today, I've had the Catalyst Control Center crash and not come back up until reboot.
Sometimes, my Avira will not be enabled nor will it open; this is also very random in it's occurrence. The other day it would not open at all until a reboot(Rebooting also fixes the other issue of it not enabling).
Up until recently, Avira also crashed during it's virus scan with no reason, however that didn't happen the last time I scanned.
I've been looking online for the past three or so days and haven't found much. I did decide to take some advice and used memtest86 to test my ram.
Yesterday, I decided to DL and use it while I was gone most of the day(Started it at around 9:30am, finished at about 5-6ish). I wasn't entirely sure at how to READ the results but they didn't look too good. For the number of errors it was around the 300,000 mark with few passes; I'm guessing that's absolutely terrible? I've only tested it with the computer as is, do I need to try one stick at a time or something?
The only other thing I've tried is multiple virus scans with Avira and Malwarebytes (they found no viruses) and reinstalling my video card driver
I could use any help on this issue. I've also tried to be as detailed as possible(Random firefox crashing has not helped while trying to type this).
System specs:
Intel core i3-3220
Sapphire Radeon HD 7850 1GB OC
8GB G-skill ripjaw ram
ASRock H77m
Rosewill Challenger U3
Windows 7 64bit
