Ok, I'm so desperate for help right now.
I decided to upgrade my old computer with some new parts. I bought: a new motherboard (AsRock z87m pro4) a new CPU (i5-4670k Haswell).
From my old computer I kept the 5 months old GPU: (Sapphire HD7870), SSD (Sandisk extreme), ram memory (2x4gb Micron Technology 1333 mhz) and the PSU (corsair CX430).
Windows installed smoothly but when I was about to play World of Warcraft and CS:GO I had crashes and error messages all the time. What happens is that WoW gives me error messages and the application is automatically executed, but more often I either get Black Sreen with buzzing sound loops or just any kind of sound loop or a freeze combined with a sound loop. The computer does not respond to anything when this happens and the only thing I can do is to power it off and on. CS:GO just crashes to the desktop. Somestimes youtube videos or just normal content in Chrome has some plugin error with (shockwave?).
What I have done so far:
*Put my GPU, PSU, Ram and SSD into the old computer and it didnt crash one single time for weeks. (So in the old computer I only had a different Motherboard and CPU).
*Checked all temps they are max 55c during load. I even bought a new CPU fan to make sure it wouldnt get overheated.
*Reinstalled different windows 7 like ten times.
*Updated BIOS and reinstalling all drivers and tried old drivers as well.
*Ran memtest, and other test without any errors.
*Updated SSD firmware. Changed SATA Port, New SATA Cable.
*Reinstalled all games.
*Cleared CMOS. And made sure SSD was set with ACHI.
*Remove the GPU and play the games with integrated graphics from Motherboard, still crashes as much.
*Bought new RAM-Memory and new PSU (600w). Still the same amount of crashes.
*Tried one ram stick at a time and in all different slots, still crashing.
Since the temps are fine and the GPU and the rams works perfectly with my old motherboard I suspect it's the new motherboard that is faulty. HOWEVER I did return it for a problem check and they didnt find anything. The CPU is brand new and I cant see how the CPU would be the problem in this case. All the pins in the socket is fine as well.
Could it be the motherboard that is faulty?
I have a very hard economic situation since I just kinda got kicked out from my parents house, and I really want to locate the problem before I buy new parts. I have fighted this problem now for 6 months and I've done so much research on every forum without sucess. The one who can help me fix this should blessed. Thanks so much in advance for any help.
