Computer freezing and power on problem
Last response: in Systems
I recently just built a new computer, and am having some trouble with it.
When I am using my computer, sometimes it randomly freezes, sometimes after hours, sometimes after just a few minutes. I have been downloading from Steam, and have heard that this could be caused by Steam, is this true?
Secondly, when I have reset my computer after it freezing, it powers on for 2 seconds, then turns off, then after another 2 seconds turns itself back on.
This can happen a number of times before it decides to work and load Windows. What is the problem here?
Any Help will be appreciated.

More about : computer freezing power problem
I have the same mobo.
Similar issues. Screen gets distorted and freezes. In windows 7 startup, it freezes before the 4 color animation logo dots come in so it just says "starting windows." There's also been tons of weird errors like program names missing and dll files being damaged or corrupted. Also bios screen freezes and the reboots after post that you mentioned. This particular mobo has this issue. I am still working on fixing mine.
