Hello, I just finished my build of my new pc and it has been freezing constantly and my network card keeps failing to work.

750w corsair TX enthusiast V2 non modular
i5-2500k @ 3.3
MSI Z68A-G45-G3
Gskill 8gb ddr 3 1600 mhz 9-9-924 (running at 11-11-11-28 atm, had it at proper timings and same issues)
Xigamatek 1283SD cooler
MSI 460 GTX 1 GB
7200 rpm 1TB seagate
5400 rpm 230GB WD
LG basic CD/DVD burner/reader
Corsair Carbide 500r
Win7 64 bit professional

I have reformatted twice but my performance is very sluggish at times. IT runs games fine, but a lot of time when I try to multitask things will freeze up for 20 - 30 seconds. My network card will also tend to fail at these times and I need to reboot to get it to work (it doesn't detect networks and windows says the adapter is not recognized). Windows Explorer also crashes or locks up if I try to do anything immediately after booting.

I have the ram in the right slots, and nothing is overclocked besides the card that came pre-overclocked. The HDs and GPU were reused from my old computer that ran fine, but slow due to its age. Everything else is brand new.

I have tried running the PC with 1 stick of ram, switching both out, same results with either stick as the only stick in the first slot. Tried to run it without the network card, same problems.

I have also formatted and reinstalled windows 7 twice, same issue persists.

Strangely enough, my game performance is fine as long as I don't do anything but play the game.

What should I do?
 
Are you talking about the motherboard's network card or a separate piece of hardware? If it's separate, take it out.
Basically, you have to try switching out as many parts as you can. If you've got another HDD, do a clean install on that. If a friend's got an 1155 CPU, get hold of it and try it out. If you can try your CPU on their motherboard, do it.
 
Separate card, I can't switch out the mobo or CPU no friends with compatable parts.

I've tried swapping around the ram, taking out the network card, and am currently unplugging one of the hard drives.
 
Decided to run chkdsk on my hard drive to see if it was at all bad, when I restarted for it to run first I got a dsk read error, Ctrl alt del'd to restart, then it said something about NTSF and "the volume is clean"; so is there actually something wrong with my main HD?
 
No, the ram is supposed to run at 9/9/9/24, but I left it to what my mobo put it at; 11/11/11/28

I'll do that anyway.

My friend recommended I run HDtune, and this is what I got.

I am currently running memtest. I will use hdtune's scan for errors overnight, as the ETA on it is about 4.5 hours.

Edit: ran memtest of available mem/4 on each of my 4 cores, 0 errors on each instance, but my computer has completely locked up after ~13 mins.

Shut off via power switch, Reset switch non responsive.
Windows hangs at the logo
Hit reset switch after 2 minutes of windows logo "Starting windows"
startup worked, but felt a teeny bit slower

Trial 2:

20 mins, no errors.
50 mins, no errors.
80 mins, no errors.
110 mins, no errors.
180 mins, no errors.


Hangs at windows logo, "Starting windows" for a fairly long time. Hangs at "Welcome" After logging in for while too.
 
CAn't get into bios now, hit delete at the place where I would normally go into bios on boot, says "Entering setup..." and just hangs there/. ?Used a screw driver to connect battery things and now im in bios.

Trying to try a new HD, but I imagine at this pt its the mobo

Trying to boot off CD to install win7 on backup HD,

I don't think 3 of my HD have problems lol.


Sum up problems:
Random 10 - 30 second freezing
Booting problems
bios problems
Internal transfer speed problems
Net work card crashing problems
Doesn't recognize new HD in bios, however I can see it when I boot up and do Windows + e
front usb 3.0 barely work


What works fine:

CD Drive
RAM (no errors in 3 hours)
CPU (games run smoothly)
GPU (games run smoothly)
PSU (as far as I can tell!)
CAse (hehe)
 
Formatting got raped... can I send you the html or something?

says 10 errors, 8 warnings, 17 informational on cmd.

Platform Power Management Capabilities:Supported Sleep States
Sleep states allow the computer to enter low-power modes after a period of inactivity. The S3 sleep state is the default sleep state for Windows platforms. The S3 sleep state consumes only enough power to preserve memory contents and allow the computer to resume working quickly. Very few platforms support the S1 or S2 Sleep states.
S1 Sleep Supported true
S2 Sleep Supported false
S3 Sleep Supported true
S4 Sleep Supported true
