The issue is multitasking. PC cannot handle multiple installations at all. Fresh install and yet it becomes unresponsive at the slightest usage of multiple installations and randomly during other usages. Playing games at max settings is no issue. I have checked all HDD and SSD with HD tuner and they are all new with no bad sectors or anything out of ordinary. Something dying? My ram and system usage all are under less than 30% running 2-3 installations simultaneously. Was wondering if maybe a bad driver is installed. I used Driver Pack Solution for my install was that bad?
Basically i just built a new system with the following specs
Asrock z77 Pro3 mobo
I5 3570k cpu
2x4gb Hyper x kingston ram
AMD HD radeon 7950 vapor x 3gb OC edition
2TB Seagate Barracuda 7200 rpm
1TB Seagate Barracuda 7200 rpm
256gb Crucial SSD
Antivirus is Avast Internet Security

Ok sounds like all your hardware is fine.

Make yourself an ultimate boot disc.
http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/index.html

Use this to burn the ISO file to make that ultimate boot disc.

Put the newly burned disc is your computer and restart.
At the bottom of the first list will be the option for "Parted Magic" launch that.
Once in "Parted Magic" check your hard drive for error codes, if you find none your hard drive is fine.

I wouldn't use a driver pack solution, its one of those auto driver finders and installers right?
Manually install everything. Windows, Motherboard drivers of the ASrock website, and AMD 13.10 beta Drivers, then whatever program you want after that. Store those drivers on a 8gb usb...

Don't use Avast anti virus, I have seen it cause troubles before on a friends computer. Use the one Microsoft lets you use for free, Microsoft Security Essentials.

Use the "Parted Magic" software on the ultimate boot disc to wipe your boot drive for a fresh install. Then install windows. ANd so you know the ultimate boot disc only loads the programs into the memory and not the hard drive so it won't over write anything.

When my last motherboard went bad the clock on the motherboard had to be reset ever reboot. I replaced its battery 2 times, still had to set the clock, bad motherboard.

Also on the ultimate boot disk in the memory test section, is memtestX86 ver 4.0, test your ram with 3 passes of that to see if it is good, a word of warning this will take 6 hours or so.

Hope this helps.

Sounds Good i will try it. I only used it because it made it all easy. Avast is fine for me so far not like bit defender which would duplicate files in the back ground. And as for why i do not and will not use Microsoft is that it does not detect android viruses :p
