my computer randomly freezes while browsing the web, playing music and watching movies, but doesnt freeze when playing games such as BF3 or GT4.
i also cannot access BIOS(asus is working on this with me.. it's been like this since day 1)
specs:
p8z68v LX
i5 3570k OCed to 3.9ghz
128gb mushkin ssd
500gb WD hdd
ati raedon 6970hd
8gb ripsaw ddr3 ram
corsair 750w PSU
sony cd/dvd drive
asus cd/dvd burner
all computer temps are low.
only way to get back is to hard restart the computer.
windows memory test does a standard test fine, but locks up during an extended test at 24%.
since i cannot access BIOS, i cant do any other memory test that fully tests it.
lately(past 3 days) it has been happening withing 10 minutes of me turning on the computer.. and it happens repeatedly. i am suspecting the Mobo, but i am not sure. it could also be the RAM. i have ran the computer with each memory stick individually, and im getting the same results with each stick(computer freezes when browsing the web, but doesnt freeze when playing games)
any ideas? it's really irritating not being able to simply browse forums.
