My home was struck by lightning via the cable lines which fried an older TV and damaged 2 PC's. My main machine still worked but it was giving me random freezes during gaming or after I started using my machine for 20 - 30 minutes. The odd thing is it doesn't hard freeze the machine, it pauses everything for 5 - 10 seconds then keeps working for 5 seconds, then pauses for 10 - 20 seconds, then works for another 5 seconds, then it pauses for 1 - 3 minutes, then it starts working again for a while. The ethernet port on the motherboard was fried along with a DVI port on the video card. After replacing both of those I went to install windows and the PC froze before allowing me install windows, but I restarted using the restart button and everything installed fine. Then once I started playing games again, the problem persisted. Random freezing.
I've ran Memtest for 26 hours 0 errors, I've ran Prime95 small FTT's for 13 hours, 0 errors 0 warnings on all 4 cores. I'm thinking power supply is the next logical thing to replace but I'm just wondering if anyone has experience something similar in the past or just get everyone's thoughts.
Specs: I5 - 750, P55A-UD3 mobo (replaced with new one already), GTX 460 (replace with me one already), PC Power & Cooling 750 watt, raptor 150 gig HD + 640 WD storage drive, G.Skill ripjaw 2X2gb memory
Thanks in advance for your opinion!
