Hello guys, my first post on the forum, but I recently have some problems with computer freezes in middle of the game (Dota 2). I'll give you full configuration and hopefully we can sort this out.

CPU: Intel Xeon X5687 (3.6ghz)
MB: AsRock X58 Extreme6
RAM: Corsair Dominator 3x2gb 8-7-8-20 1600mhz
SSD: OCZ RevoDrive3 120gb
GPU: MSI 7850 1gb 900/1200
PSU: Cooler Master M520
OS: Windows 8.1 9600 build

None of the hardware is OC-ed, all of them are updated to latest firmware/drivers

It started recently, it's completely random, sometimes happens 3 times in an hour, sometimes it doesn't happen for whole day.

I'm doing backup right now for clean OS install but I doubt it will fix the problem since I don't have the habit on installing things I don't need.

Hope I gave you enough information, most of the configuration is 3+ years old.

Thank you in advance,
Nes

Well not yet, I did OCCT test for full hour on CPU/RAM/GPU so I didn't really try to change RAM slots.
Yeah, my BIOS is up to date, 1.60 version.

I will download memtest and try it.

Did 1 test on memtest86, without errors. Weird thing is that I can move mouse when it freezes, but it's not responding to anything
