Problem With Compuer Freezing

Last response: in Systems
Share

So, few weeks ago I finished my first build. Since then I have had nothing but problems with it. It freezes at least once every 2 hours, but it can happen within a minute of start up. This problem is getting very frustrating.

Here are my specs:
Mobo: ASUS P8Z77-V LX
CPU: i5 3570K @ 3.4GHz
RAM: Corsair Vengeance Blue 4GB (1x4GB), 1600MHz, 1.5v
PSU: Corsair GS 700
Graphics Card: XFX HD 7970 Black Edition
HDD1: WD Caviar Blue 640GB (OS)
HDD2: Segate Barracuda 2TB
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

Here is everything that I have tried so far:
- Removing and re-installing RAM.
- Ran Windows Memory Diagnostics, default settings, PASSED.
- Ran memory in XMP Mode.
- Ran Intel CPU Diagnostics tool, PASSED.
- Ran Seatools HDD Diagnostics tool on both drives, all tests PASSED.
- Re-installed Windows, custom instillation.
- Downgraded catalyst drivers, and network card drivers

Can anyone give me another suggestion? Would installing another 4GB of RAM help? I’ve been told that 8GB is recommended for my system.

When you say freeze, do you need to reboot the system, or it will response in a few seconds?


Sorry, I should have been clear about what I meant. It stops responding completely, so I have to reboot. I did try leaving it for 10 minuets once, but it still wouldn't respond.

The only thing I do not see is Heat readings from bios as well as from windows. Other than that PSU voltage fluctuations, get voltage tested.
What voltage is the ram ? What voltage does the MB provide to ram by default ? Is your system OC-ed ?
