So I have had my computer for about 2 years. The only problem before this was a bad PSU which I promptly replaced. Now the system will freeze, cursor, windows, sound, video, everything will freeze and the only way to get past it is a hard restart. While it fairly consistently freezes right after I get out of Battlefield 3, it will also freeze a few minutes after startup, with no games, videos or anything besides a browser window open.
I do not believe this to be another PSU failure because it happens both when it is under heavy and light load.
System Specs:
CPU: Intel(R) Core™ i7-960 3.20 GHz 8M
GPU: AMD Radeon HD 6870 1GB GDDR5 - (Like I said it does run hot, but it always has without problems)
MoBo: GigaByte GA-X58A-UD3R Intel X58 Chipset
Mem: (12GB 1600Hz Trichannel Memory)
PSU: Antec ATX EA 650W
HDD: 120GB SSD
Things I have tried:
Memtest - No errors
HDD - Moved the SATA cable to another port on the MoBo.
Dusted EVERYTHING. My GPU gets pretty dusty but I try to clean it frequently.
Checked MoBo for any obvious hardware malfunctions or capacitor leaks.
HDD - Replaced the HDD with another and installed windows, still freezes (Pretty much eliminates any hard drive as the culprit)
Played with Mem speed and a little with voltage. I have changed the speeds from 1066 to 1600 and 1333Hz but it still freezes. I have also tried changing the mem voltage from auto to normal, but no results so far.
Any help will be appreciated!
