Hello,
Okay so I'm going to try and explain everything that has been happening with my new PC that has been bothering me since I built it.
Thank you!


Problems:
Freezing - first one I encountered. (Random freezes while installing windows, when browsing the web, anytime, anyplace.)
Rebooting - Usually happens after freeze but not all the time.
Little White Dots - apper all over the screen while frozen.
USB 2.0 power lost - USB 3.0 Push power but not data.
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON-PAGE_AREA - this has only happened once.

Hardware:
AMD FX-6300
Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P (rev 2.0)
HyperX fury 8×1
EVGA GTX 750 Ti w/ ACX Cooling
Corsair CX500 power supply
WD 1Tb HDD

Could you include the OS you're on? As per the rest of your hardware, have you made sure your BIOS, chipset and device drivers are up to date? You can source the latest drivers for your AMD chipset on AMD's site while the GPU drivers can be sourced from Nvidia's site and remember to use display driver uninstaller while to uninstall your GPU drivers and reinstall the last known stable version if the latest one caused these BSOD's. If the BSOD took place during an OS installation then it could be due to an incompatible hardware/faulty stick of ram.

Is the single stick of ram populating the slot as per instructions in the motherboard manual?
