Hi! First let me say I've been lurking on this forum for all kinds of issues for a looong time and always ended up finding an answer to my problem here for which I would like to thank this community.
Sadly right now I'm facing a problem I have not been able to solve for over 30 days and I'm getting desperate.
So, I have the following build:
Power Unit: Recom Power Engine 580W
Motherboard: ASRock 870iCafe R2.0
2 Corsair Value Select 4GB DDR3 1333MHz CL9
2 HyperX Savage 4GB DDR3 1600MHz CL9
And along those an Amd phenom II cpu, a 1gb 128bit graphics card and 500gb hdd that I've just changed.
I've had this system for about 4 years, 1 month ago I've added the following:
CPU AMD Vishera, FX-8350 4.0GHz (8cores processor)
GPU GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 960 OC WindForce 2X 4GB DDR5 128-bit HDMI
2TB SSHD 7200RPM 64MB SATA-III
Running windows 7 ultimate with all the updates.
After adding these 3 new components I've noticed my PC would randomly freeze every 3-6 hours(the image would just get stuck, no sound, no loading, no anything, can't move cursor, can't do anything, the only options being to restart my PC).
So I've started troubleshooting, I've updated all the drivers, reinstalled my OS, switched storage type to AHCI in BIOS, reinsatlled, uninstalled and all that good stuff.
I don't think it is a software issue at this point because my PC froze 2 times when windows was loading and once in safemode.
I've tried testing the components one by one, I replaced the GPU with my old one and the problem persisted, I replaced the CPU with my old one and the problem persisted, I removed my SSHD, installed windows on my old HDD and only used that one and the problem still persisted(although it seemed to last a bit longer before freezing, not sure about that).
I removed and re-inserted the RAM and the problem persists.
So right now it seems to behave this way even with my old components which makes me think it's a motherboard issue... although I am 100% sure I have not scratched/damaged anything when changing the components. I really don't understand how this is happening as I never had this issue before.
I have my BIOS updated to the latest version for this mobo(it wouldn't even read my new processor without it anwyay)
There is no overheating.
I'm just completely out of ideas on what I can do. I will order a new motherboard to try and see if it works with a new one, but untill i get that(which is 5 days) I want to see if there is anything else I can try. My biggest fear right now is getting the new motherboard and finding out that's not the problem.
If anyone here has any suggestion as to what I could try I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you for taking the time to read all this.
