Hey people, i have a problem and i hope someone knows what to do about it.

I buildt at whole new system so i will write down the hardware first.

Hardware:
Asus Maximux VI Extreme motherboard
Intel i7-4770K processor
Corsair Dominator Plat 1866 htz 2 sticks total of 16Gigs
Asus ROG Xonar phoebus solo Soundcard
Nvidia GeForce GTX 580 GPU
Samsung 840 Evo 250GB
2 x WB green Harddrives both on 3 TB
Corsair AX1200i PS

Software. Windows 8.1 Home Edt.

Problem:

I turn on my pc, and when i get into windows, doesn't matter if its in the app window or desktop window. Then it freezes, like i cant do anything. I cant move the mouse, i cant write or press Alt + Del. Only thing i can do is to turn off my pc or restart it manuely. I dont even have time to open a game, or search on the internet, its like it comes a few seconds after i windows started and is turned on.

Im not sure what made this come, i came today after i restartet my pc since i thought it was acting a bit weird. and after that it just start to screw me over.

I'v tryed to repair windows and am trying to reset windows totaly now. But to be honest im not sure if its windows or some other problem.

can someone tell me what i can do about this problem?

i did a reinstall of the whole system, it seems that it alright stable atm, but i have not updated windows, and last time it messed up, it was cos i installed the audio drivers for my soundcard, so atm i need to do those two things. Im not gonna update windows yet, and i will try out some trouble shooting with the audio drivers soon when i try to instal them :)
 
I don't think Windows update will give you a hard time, but it could be your audio drivers. If the problem comes back again with audio drivers, then try to update the driver from vendors site or remove the sound card from system and stay with on-board sound. Good luck.

P.S. please watch your language when posting. I edited the bad word.

Yes i am asking.
 
Sometimes Malware Bytes causes PC to freeze while on desktop, as the OP described, and sometimes not. I have seen this happen with many PC's with WIN 7 64 bit and WIN 8. Surprisingly it doesn't happen with PC's under 32 bit architecture. Maybe its a driver issue with 64 bit systems, I don't know.

The solution was that my SSD from Samsung was a faktory every drive, and i had to send it back becouse it did not work properly. The controler on the SSD was not connecting with windows the right way and that was the reason for the failers and freezes :).
But thanks for the help anyway. And yeah sorry for the language it was not on purpose :).
