I have been having this problem for a few months now and I am at my wits end. my computer will freeze several times a day. And sometime it will blue screen on me. Most of the time its when I am clicking something, like trying to close a window and I will be able to click it, but the window becomes unresponsive and then so does the whole operating system. Sometimes my USB ports don't work properly either. I have checked my RAM and all my Video drivers. I was hoping someone could help my interpret these errors I found and maybe offer a solution if there is one available. Thank you so much in advance.

Might monitor both CPU usage and GPU at the same time, if CPU is real high and the GPU isn't when gaming or running something like unigine heaven then it's bottlenecking, and might want to OC the CPU, not the best mobo for it, but the Q6600 is one of the best OCers of all time, I've still got a couple that have been passed down that run at 3.6 and 4 respectfully and go 24 hours
Its about a year or so old, maybe a little under. I also want to add, I don't believe it is due to any overheating, I have had this happen on start up after the computer has been off overnight. If its the CPU, is there a way for me to verify that is the problem?
