Ok, I'll start with my hardware specs, then the problem:
AMD FX-6350
MSI 970a-G43 Motherboard
G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 2*4GB
Asus AMD Radeon 6670
WD Caviar Black 500GB HDD
500W Coolermaster Powersupply
Windows 7 OS
So I'm just going about my computing, minding my own business, when my processor randomly decides that it's gonna stop doing it's chores like a good boy. The first time it happened was when I was playing Battlefield 3 and the game shut down, Google Chrome stopped responding, and I could not reload any program. So, I checked task manager and, low and behold, all 6 cores are at 0%. So, I thought it was an issue with the cooling. I opened up the case and slapped a big fan in front of it. The CPU temps stayed around 20 Degrees Celcius according to AMD Overdrive. No problemo there. It happened again while watching a Youtube video... Google Chrome shut down and I was unable to restart it, or any other program. 0% again, dead. The only way to fix the issue is to do a hard shut down and start it back up. I'm out of options and out of patience. Any suggestions?
