For some time now my computer has been randomly freezing, happens at random times while watching movies, surfing the web etc etc sometimes for seconds sometimes for up to a minute never had to manually restart because of this. It started a while back and I tried to update my bios and ended up bricking my MB, computer completely froze in the middle of the update so I sent my motherboard back to MSI and got a new one, so I know it's not the motherboard. I've tested the ram I come to you guys cause I do not know of anything else I can do to figure this out.
I've noticed recently that while watching movies and it freezing it loops the movie say 5 - 10 seconds backwards from it's current position and plays it over and over until it's done, used to do that before but now the video is really pixelated for about 5 - 10 seconds afterwards. Makes me wonder could it be my GPU?
So what I am asking is what can I do to test the rest of my hardware or what can I do to attempt to figure out why my computer is freezing randomly. It's really irritating, tried windows 7 still did it reinstalled my OS still did it. Tried windows 8.1 still doing it. Please can anyone/everyone throw some advice or suggestions on the table it would be greatly appreciated. Thank You
