My pc recently started having freezing issues. The pc is new (4-5 months old) yet im finding out of nowhere my windows bar and desktop will freeze up but other programs sometimes work. For example if it were to happen if I moused over the widows button it wouldn't light up and wont respond to clicks, same usually goes for the desktop and the icons on it. On the flip side if I was running a game like say dota or something I wouldn't notice a problem even if freeze's were occurring and my game would work fine. Additionally the only thing that seems to fix it is if I press ctl-alt-del and bring up task manager, that somehow remedies the freezes for about five mins or permanently in some cases.
Another thing that has happened in the same time frame that im pretty sure is related is my pc seems to randomly go back on its own. For example if I opened chrome and went to a webpage after a random short period of time my pc will take me back to my homepage, this also happens with other things like say if I went into control panel and clicked something it would go back to the first page I opened. The funny thing is, this is also randomly sometimes fixed by opening the task manager.
I think its also worth noting that I had a game crashing that said it was due to memory issues, at first i thought it was just the game having a weird issue but recently wow crashed on me and also had something about memory in the error message so maybe that has something to do with it?
Since this has started happening I purchased a new hard drive and did a clean install of windows but I've already had a few freezes since then so I doubt it has to do with software.
Im running widows vista 32 bit with an amd fx 8350 processor, 8g's of ram and a radeon 7950 card.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
