I recently installed a g3258 and an ASRock z97 anniversary. during the installation i performed a clean install of windows 7 home premium on my SSD.
The system crashes frequently mostly when operating within windows related services. windows update seems to trigger the freezing 9/10 times.
Since seeing these issues i have performed many more clean installs of windows due to corrupt updates and failed system restorations. I believe my issues lies in a faulty motherboard or perhaps an issue with my windows disc? i have used the disc before with success but it is a bit scratched possibly corrupting some data? Is it possible a faulty HDD could be the cause?
