Hello,
I've recently been having a lot of trouble with my computer. It first started with my internet locking up every once in a while. The window would go grey and it would say "not responding" for about a minute. Eventually it would either fix itself (after a long time) or i would shut it down. Eventually i purchased a new motherboard for my system. It was after this that the problems seemed to get worse. The problem with the internet continued as normal, plus when i was in games it would sometimes lock up, and then fix itself a while later. I figured i may have purchased a bad motherboard so i had it replaced.
Throughout all of this I did extensive testing on different parts of the computer. I ram memtest on the RAM, and seagate seatools on the hard drive. I also ran prime 95 for the CPU. No errors were ever found. I then downloaded a program called Burn in test and it tested every component on my computer. No errors were found. So we come to the present where i have now received my replacement motherboard. At first everything was running fine, (except the internet problems again) (don't say it's a virus, or spyware, because I also reformatted my computer and that didn't fix the problem)
Anyways, a day later my computer blue screens and shuts down. I turned it back on and every once in a while it would error and turn off again. Now it's to the point where it loads and it gets right before where you would be able to log into windows and it will freeze on a black screen and not go any further. If i put in the windows disk ( to attempt a windows repair) then it freezes when it gets to the point where you can select options. I swapped out the RAM, and it did the same thing. I swapped out the video card, and it did the same thing. I've checked my heat and it's at a constant 37 degrees Celcius.

I apologize if this is long but i was trying to be as detailed as I could. Does anyone know what the problem could be? It seems like i've tried everything. Any help would be appreciated.

what components are you using? Is there anything you changed about the components (other than the Mobo) recently that might be causing a compatibility issue?

What is the error code from the bluescreen? This can be found in the log files. should be something like "0x0000004E" or something. A hex value.

what antivirus you using? is your copy of windows legit? when you re-formated did you do it from a cold start (ie the pc had been off for more than 5 mins?)
as for your internet have you had the connection checked?...
