Quite often, usually at least once a day, my system will completely lock up. I might be browsing the internet or playing a game or the PC might have been idle for hours but when I return it will be completely frozen.
Usually when this happens and I use the reset switch on my case the PC will boot but get stuck on the Welcome screen to Windows 7. It will then freeze even though the HDD light will occasionally blink. If I continue to use the reset switch it will keep doing this until I hit the power switch to turn it off and then back on. At this point it will boot normally until to freezes again which may be hours away or just minutes.
I've tried messing around in the BIOS quite a bit with RAM voltages, disabling power saving functions and stuff like that and am prepared to do it all again if you guys have any suggestions.
