So I recently built a whole new computer and once everything was installed I began to notice a major problem that happens at seemingly random intervals. My screen freezes, it's not a simple error message or crash but the screen simply freezes as if frozen still. The computer accepts no commands from peripherals but they still act as if connected with lights and everything.
Nothing besides resetting or powering off the pc manually solves the issue. I can't ctr/alt/dlt, I can't alt/tab or anything within the pc to try and resolve the issue. When my PC boots back up I have no error messages nor do I have any evidence that such issue has occurred.
It's not a heat issue from what all the monitors show, my GPU is well between 30-65c with minimal and full workload. My cpu runs between 3-30c.
I've narrowed it down to not being the RAM or the OS, I've used alternate RAM and the issue persists. Plus I've reinstalled Windows with a fresh clean install.
My build:
AMD FX-9590
Asus Crosshair V Formula-Z
CORSAIR Dominator Platinum (4x4)16GB 2400
AMD Radeon Asus R9 290x DC2
ASUS ROG RAIDR Express PCI-E 240GB SSD (OS)
WD 3TB Black
Thermaltake 1000W PSU
Windows 8.1 Pro
Nortion AV (I've never had a problem with them, used them since the dawn of mankind)
Othernotes:
I've since re-installed my OS and cleaned up any issues I previously had with the OS.
