I've had random freezing while playing games and on PC boot the desktop takes a while to steady out. Any reason for the freezing? I assumed that my 3 monitors with multiple windows might be having an effect on my slower ram. I really went cheap on the ram when I built this gaming rig about 4-5 years ago. Since the first build I have upgraded the GPU.

Operating System
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit

CPU
Intel Core i7 2600K @ 3.40GHz
Sandy Bridge 32nm Technology

RAM
16.0GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 799MHz (9-9-9-27)

Motherboard
ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. SABERTOOTH Z77 (LGA1155)

Graphics
BenQ XL2420Z (1920x1080@144Hz)
ASUS VS238 (1920x1080@60Hz)
BenQ RL2455 (1920x1080@60Hz)
3071MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Ti (MSI) 48 °C idle

Storage
238GB KINGSTON SV200S3256G ATA Device (SSD)
1863GB Seagate ST2000DM001-1CH164 ATA Device (SATA)

Thanks! :>

800 MHz RAM = 1600 in dual-channel. That's fine.

Honestly it might just be Windows itself if it's been on there for some time. One of my laptops just got a fresh re-install, and it's very zippy and doesn't stutter when downloading files and attempting to play music/video anymore (it's a 4-core i7; don't know why it was doing that).
