So I've had this problem since also day 1 of my new Build.

Chrome and Firefox will freeze regularly. Whether on Facebook, scrolling through Google, whichever. It recovers after a minute or so, but will freeze my entire computer while it is recovering. The ONLY browser that will run reliability is Internet Explorer.

I seriously need to sort this issue out.

My build:

Mobo: AsRock 970 Pro3
OS: Windows 8.1
SSD (OS): Samsung 840 PRO 120GB
HD: 1TB Caviar Blue
CPU: AMD FX8320
GPU: HD 7770 Radeon
RAM: 16GB G.Skills 1600
 
Solution
make sure your motherboard bios is up to date to rule out a bios bug. are you using 4 dimms or two. sometime there are issues with mb and 4 dimms. if you are running 4 dimms try pulling 2 and see if the error stops. check that the ssd firmware is up to date and run hdtune on the data drive see if there any warnings.
