Ok, so about a year ago I built my own computer and for the past 3-4 months I've been having strange issues. Randomly throughout a "computer session" all of my programs will become unresponsive for ~30 seconds or so, along with most functions of my computer EX: Closing out a program, opening task manager, etc. I can still hear all sound, however. When I originally built my computer I don't remember having these issues. Occasionally a window will come up that says "The program Microsoft windows has stopped working" and I get the options of end program or cancel, If I press cancel it will still come back in ~30 seconds. I've tried everything I can think of.
* I've actually reinstalled a new operating system (I went from windows 7 to windows 8.1) to see if it was software related but I still have the same issues with 8.1 which leads me to believe it's hardware.
* I've tried different ram and I still have the issues.
* I've watched my temperatures and they never go over 30 Celsius really.
* I've made sure all cables are fully plugged in, all fans spinning, etc.
At this point I'm unsure as to where I go next, so all help/suggestions are much appreciated. Thanks!
