Ok, So my PC has been acting pretty strange lately. Usually after I wake it up from sleeping. It will work fine, the first 2-3x after sleep, but after a while it will start up, then the screen will go black, kinda the a GPU failer, except, the mouse and keyboard are both 100% unresponsive to setting changes (IE: Num Lock on/off, Caps lock, Backlights[Razer])

I reboot it, and it has about 50% chance to do this after Reboot, right after logging in. Then on the 2nd reboot everything is fine.

I am, confident this is not a memory problem, regardless im running a test on them next start up after this post. I do run Windows 8, so it could be a software problem, but I want to double check my CPU/Mobo, even my GPU, with some sort of program, tho I am not sure what the best/easiest is.

Like I said I am not 100% sure this is a hardware problem, but I want to double check anyway. Especially since my big fan on top is starting to make noises at high speed So i've set it to low speed for the past week.

does it work ok for 4-5 hrs under full load? or this problem occurs only after
awakening from sleep? if it's the latter suspect memory or hard disk.
