So this is like the first time in years i've had to do this, I do know my stuff a bit but this one has me stuck, if someone can explain the issue and why its happening i'll throw a couple paypal dollars at you for saving my time :p

Short explanation:
I just upgraded my PC with a new mobo/processor/videocard and replaced the OS hard drive with an SSD, running windows 7 ultimate 64bit
The issue is, completely randomly, all usb devices and onboard audio die, the computer continues chugging along fine, unplugging/replugging usb's in different ports does give the "searching for device" in the corner, but never finds the device (the green dot spins forever) sometimes i'll get a "BLURRP" from the audio at the time it happens, but thats it.
At the same time, I also lose network connectivity, i'm guessing there is some communication (physical?) failure on my new mobo but i'm not sure here
There doesn't seem to be anything reproducible to aggravate the issue

I'm also getting occasional non-input lockups, the start menu, current window, just about everything but the mouse pointer will freeze up, I can still change window focus and such but the system is locked, if I control+alt+delete the system will wait until it is unlocked (usually about 30 seconds to a minute) before it responds to the keypress, again, no correlating events showing a timeout

What i've done:
Looking through event viewer, there doesn't seem to be an event that triggers this, i've disabled all unnecessary services. I've tried safe mode and it hasn't happened as well but as i've said it is completely random so it just might not be decided to happen.
It doesn't seem to be temperature based, I've played planetside 2 across 3 screens for hours with no issues, and this has happened within moments of entering windows
I've pulled and reinstalled windows, I've reinstalled down to windows 7 home edition as well, did not resolve the issue
I've updated mobo/video/directx

Not yet but I'm thinking of bodging together another pc so I can RDP into this desktop while the issue is occurring, but I'm not sure how much that would help with no logs or events to work from. Since network connectivity dies at the same time I'm pretty sure this won't work. I have a feeling this is a driver conflict but usually those hemorrhage errors that I can look up.

The "new" parts are:
Video GIGABYTE GV-R927XOC
Processor AMD FX-8350
Motherboard GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3 AM3+
