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?
