I've been having this problem ever since I bought this custom-made computer off a trusted friend. Which was around 4-5 months ago. The issue that I've been having is that at random, windows freezes up on me, and sometimes crashes. It also crashes on me when I play certain games. For example, I play Left 4 Dead and Gary's mod with no crash "ALMOST" ever, but I can sit and play games like Sanctum, Killing Floor, and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City only for about 5, sometimes 10 minutes before it crashes. The thing i cannot quite put my finger on is that some of the times that I restore my computer completley, the problem seems to be worse. Meaning my computer would freeze up at lot more often that it did right before I did the restore. Also, I have used this Windows 7 disk for multiple computers, and have never had a problem with it. Therefore it cannot be corrupt. Plus the fact that the person I bought the computer from, already had it freshly installed and it also had these issues.
Here's what I have done to try and fix the problem:
- I've done at least 15 complete Windows 7 restores throughout the past few months
- Bought a Brand-new graphics card
- Bought a new hard-drive
- Bought a new battery that goes on the motherboard
- Updated every single driver manually
- Updated windows using Windows Update
- Downloaded multiple programs such as Speedfan and Afterburner to check temperatures (which never passed the normal limit)
- Did every diagnostic that windows provides
- Install Memtest86 onto my flash-drive and went through 2-3 passes
- Throughout my full system restores, I downloaded Bullguard, AVG, and Norton (only one at a time)
- Changed mouse, keyboard, and monitor to see if it was a driver problem of any sort
- And possibly a few other things that I cannot remember at this point
Specs:
Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 975 @ 3.33GHz (8 CPUs), ~3.3GHz
Memory: 6144MB RAM
DirectX Version: DirectX 11
RAM: 6GB (3 sticks, each being 2GB)
Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 Ti BOOST (Brand-new and installed as of 3days ago)
I know it may seem sad, but I will be very, very grateful if somebody could figure out this solution. Thanks for your time.
