Hi, I built my PC back in April and for as long as i can remember every now and then my PC will freeze on boot just after the Asrock loading screen or sometimes it will freeze after a few minutes on windows.

Its been getting worse over time but sometimes little things will fix it, Like today i had installed Asrock fast charge app from my mobo disk and after installing that it started freezing and as soon as i uninstalled it started working again.

another thing that fixed it was removing my GPU and reseating it in the PCI Slot and reattaching the power lead. (Only reason I done this was because my games were going all untextured and not loading/crashing)

I think it could be the GPU as this is the only part that is over a year old as I took it out of my old build that i had last year but i want to be sure before i buy a new one. The PC works fine off Onboard Graphics but i just find it weird that the ASRock fast charge made it start crashing again and as soon as i uninstalled it worked again...

Any help with this would be great!


Think my Specs are in my signature thing but if not ill post them in a sec

Thanks
