No, that's not the name of my band and first album, that's the problem I've been having. I built a new computer and have been having random freezes since. Freezing during gaming, after gaming, doing nothing, loading webpages, loading .avi files.
At first I thought it was the RAM. I quadruple checked my timings and voltage, no fix.
I've updated my BIOS, all drivers, ran a memory test, and a hard drive test.
I think I might've narrowed it down to my USB 3.0, but I'm not sure where to go from there. Reason why: my devices plugged into them haven't worked. I've installed the latest drivers from ASRock's website. I did that and every time I'd boot up it'd ask me if I wanted to install them. Currently they're uninstalled, but my system is behaving the same.
The only time I've been able to recreate the freezing regularly is when I tried to open an .avi file from my external USB 3.0 hard drive into video editing software. I can open the files and watch them, but when I tried editing them in the program, it crashed 4 out of 5 times.
Specs:
Asrock Z77 Extreme3 mobo
8GB GSkill Sniper Series RAM
SeaSonic 650w PS X650 Gold
GTX 570
180gb Kingston SSD
I've monitored my temps, they haven't come near to being a problem.
Please help, this is driving me nuts!
