My Windows 8.1 computer freezes every time at the Windows spinning circle after the BIOS. If I start it with the Windows 8 disk/recovery USB, the same happens. I tried the Windows 7 disk, it loads the files then freezes at the glowing Windows logo. A Ubuntu disk freezes as well.
I am able to boot Memtest and it'll run for a day no problems, the same with the Ultimate Boot CD, however many programs on it cause the computer to freeze straight away.
I am able to load the Mini XP from Hirens boot CD and run everything on there fine, but a Windows XP install disk BSODs with 0x0000007B (0xF78D2524, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000).
I have swapped the sticks of RAM around, used a different GPU, a different PSU, tried different hard drives, updated the BIOS, reset the CMOS, changed the heatsink, but it still freezes after the BIOS.
It's a self build PC, running fine for a year, until last month when it froze in Premiere Pro.
