hey guys
I pre-apologise for the long post, i want u guys to know exactly what happened
ok ill try and provide as much detail as i can, basically 2 days ago i decided to go out and by some new pc parts, i got a new processor, cpu, psu, gpu, and motherboard
And last night overnight i left my pc running some tv shows i was watching and it froze overnight, i woke up to a frozen screen
Now ive experienced 2 freezes when tabbing out of a game
My current setup since the upgrade - ive put old next to the parts i didnt upgrade
Corsair VS650 W PSU
Gigabyte 78LMT-USB3 Motherboard Rev 6
8GB DDR3 G.Skill ripjaw X 8GB 1333Mhz RAM ( old )
AMD FX-8320 CPU
1TB WD Black HDD ( Old )
ASUS R7 260X DC2OC 2GB
Now ill take u guys through my setup process and some custom changes i made so u guys get the full story and can help me diagnose the issue
So, installed the parts, all ran fine
Installed windows on the 1TB WD Black
installed drivers ( plus the manual network driver )
everything worked fine
now, the first complication, i dont have a DVD drive, so i had to copy the dvd contents to my laptop, then to a usb, and i installed my network drivers, by going to device manager, and upgrade drivers, and located the network folder on the USB and windows installed drivers
( ill explain why this might have caused an issue soon )
Second change was my Graphics card, the ASUS R7 260X had a known issue with black screens and freezing due to a fail BIOS by the creators, i found out thats why my GPU was always at max clock speeds, the creators disabled power saving to stop the issues
So after a crapload of research, i found that Alot of ASUS users had found a sapphire BIOS Flash, and Sapphire had fixed 99% of the problems and enabled power saving

So i flashed my card and it runs beautifully, no issues that i can tell, and im not even sure if the freezing is related
Now, after all that was done , everything seemed absolutely fine, all temps are fine, no freezing, games run beautifully
Then suddenly the freezing starts to happen as i menchoned above in the start of the post
Ok now, onto the event viewer research, since i had 3 freezes in short periods, i decided to look
Now i noticed the following events at the time of the crashes
Audit events have been dropped by the transport. %0
This article i found on the audit error
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc727052%28WS.10%29.aspx
Though i also read on a forum that somebody had problems with his windows 7 network driver and bought a new network card and it solved the issue
This error occured twice when tabbing out of a game called Eve Online
At the time of the video freeze i recieved this error
The following boot-start or system-start driver(s) failed to load:
UsbCharger
ill get a more detailed error log once i reboot, currently my event viewer is failing to load the snapin
Problems i suspect
Gigabyte ON/OFF Charge software - ive removed it going to test
Mixing VIA USB3 Drivers with AMD USB Drivers ( im not sure if this is conflicting )
Reinstalling network drivers
Im preying its not my hard drive slowly dying and freezing, since ive spent enough money as it is
