Problem

Randomly, my computer just freezes up. Either if I'm Skyping, browsing the internet or gaming, my whole computer just freezes with no error or a BSOD. Also, if I am listening to audio, the sound gets looped which is really weird. I always have to restart my computer manually to fix this issue, but it keeps happening almost every other hour now.

I haven't tried much to fix this since i have absolutely no idea why it's happening or how.

I built my computer about 8 months ago, didn't have any problems until last month. A ton of problems started showing up! I'm thinking about just throwing my PC out the window, i can hardly even use it anymore. But this freezing is one of the problems; hopefully i can fix this one.

Computer Specs
OS: Windows 7 64-bit
Graphics Card: GTX 670 FTW+ 4GB
PSU: CORSAIR HX650 650W
CPU: Intel i7-2600 CPU 3.40GHZ
Motherboard: Gigabyte H67MA-USB3-B3
RAM: 16GB of DDR3 SDRAM
Hard Drive: 2TB SATA hard drive
CD Player: 22x DVD /-R/RW drive


Would really love some help, can't live with this happening :( ...thanks!

Freeze is usually the RAM memory. Run Memtest 86 for a few hours. I see you have 16 GB, assuming you have more than one stick try one at a time, and in different slots, I would guess its either a bad stick of ram or a bad socket on the MOBO.
