i installed windows 8.1 pro perfectly fine everything apeared to be running perfect then it froze. thought nothing of it was thinking new drive might be some issues on first launch or something so didnt think anything of it, hard reset my comp got back into windows 8.1 launched IE so i could download chrome got it done seems everything is running good now then it froze again. this time when it froze i thought something was off but didnt really care for it much so hard reset it again. so now after i launched it up again got into chrome synced everything i needed and got it all set up started to transfer my files from old comp(one im using now) to it and crashed again, this time it started to annoy me so i did another hard reset got back in and finished transferring everything, didnt have much just some important files. then a few minutes after i finished it froze again. did another hard reset then went searching online for something/anything to fix this problem and tried a couple solutions that people used to fix windows from crashing wich were changing out of quickstart and also changing power to high performance.

then i ran a mem test to see if that was the problem i came up clean then did a graphics card stress test the results came out good. i also tried to use ubuntu to see if it was just a windows problem but same exact thing happened got frozen again even with ubuntu. really not sure what to do now looked at the stand offs and they were all on correctly and secured nothing is overheating at all just freezes about every 5-30 minutes. when the comp freezes keyboard LEDs stay on but is completely unresponsive same exact thing for the mouse. was listening to music while setting everything up and each time the freeze occurred and mouse keyboard stopped working an audio loop began had it sit there for about 10 min and nothing happened i am forced to hard reset the computer. on the motherboard it is showing A0 when the freezes occurs which means that everything is suppose to be running good but i know that is not the case

i really dont know what is going on at all any help would be very appreciated
 
took out the graphics card used the on board graphics and now it finally gave me an error code whea uncorrectable error, which i was told since i got that it is the MB that is causing me the problems

also yeah it is a z87 motherboard
