Alright, here we go!
Loooong story short, I've come to the conclusion that NO MATTER what I do, my PC freezes as soon as anything Windows pops up.
It started with me upgrading a few parts, and trying to turn on the PC but I thought my drives had died on me.
So I bought a new SSD and a 3TB HDD.
Same thing.
I put the disc in to install windows, and it'd freeze at random points. It got to the point where as soon as the windows logo popped up and asked what I wanted to do, I'd basically do a speed run of selecting my drive, formatting, and installing. But no matter what, It'd always freeze between the actual Logo and 4 spheres loading, all the way to when it said it was finalizing the installation after the restart.
So I went to my father and begged him to let me put my SSD into his PC and use his disk drive to install windows. (I thought my Disk Drive was going out)
Well, it worked, first time, everytime.
I came home, plugged it in, and got the "Boot MGR is missing".
So I went out and bought a USB drive to load an ISO onto it and install it that way.
Same thing happened; the freezing.
So then I did something stupid and pirated a copy of Windows to see if maybe mine was bad, and holy hell! It worked! First time in 3 whole weeks, I finally managed to get to a desktop!
...
Then it froze. And it keeps freezing. But now, it's anywhere from the first second that my desktop loads to 30 seconds after it fully loads.
I tried installing windows to my other drive, and it's still freezing so I don't even have enough time to select the damn drive to format it!
I've switched my RAM out, the CMOS battery, Harddrives, and peripherals.
NOTHING WORKS!
Bios is fully updated and it never freezes once when I'm there. I know it's none of the sata cables because I've switched them all out between 5 different harddrives. I've gone from discs, to USB, to even different versions of windows.
I am running out of ideas and possible causes for this! 3 weeks later, I am still stuck and have gotten nowhere except more broke...
Someone, please help me before I throw this thing out the window of a moving car! D:
The parts I upgraded/added, just in case anyone is curious.
