Ok. So, I've started having a problem with freezing. I would be doing something then I would switch over to another application, and it would stop responding, and I can't end it. It won't let me open up anything either, so I can't get to Task Manager to close the application.

I've eliminated malware, and drivers as I did a scan and I updated. What I was thinking is that it may be the RAM. I have 4 sticks of 4GB inside. They're both from the same company and they're both DDR3 and 1600MHz, but one has a heat spreader and the other doesn't. The RAM has caused problems before, so I think it's possible.

Oh and before you ask,

CPU: AMD FX-6300
RAM: 4x4GB A-DATA DDR3-1600
GPU: Sapphire Radeon R7 260x
SSD: Sandisk 256GB
HDD: Some seagate drive
