I've tried to do everything I can to figure out why my computer is acting up. Whenever I booted into Windows 8.1, my PC would freeze or sometimes even restart after a few minutes of use. If I plugged something into the USB ports on the back of my computer (connected to the motherboard), my entire system would freeze, guaranteed, and would require a hard reboot for it to start up again. I took out the hard drive and put another one in there, but the same thing happened. I figured maybe it was my operating system that was freezing and not any of my hardware's fault, but I installed Ubuntu and my PC still freezes. I have no idea what to do. I don't have any spare power supplies, graphics cards, or motherboards to switch out and see if they are the problem. My BIOS has never freezed on me if that helps.
I've run Memtest86+ and it doesn't detect any errors with my RAM. Quite frankly, I'm at a loss at to what I should do. Anybody got any ideas?
