Hi everyone,
I've been having a problem with my PC performance recently after upgrading my motherboard, i had a problem with my previous motherboard after updating bios, it kept going through restart loops, and then got a physical damage while i was returning it, anyway, i bought a new one Asus B150M Pro Gaming (used the same previously used hardware with it). So after i got it, i installed Windows 10 x64 and same usual apps I've been using, after a couple of days i started to notice something, the PC constantly freezes, randomly the mouse cursor just stop or become very slow, and then everything goes back to normal again, i tried:

- Update all used apps to latest version available.

- Downloaded the latest drivers from the official website, including drivers for motherboard and video card.

- Reinstall apps.

- I even started to use alternatives, like a different browser or different anti-virus, etc.. .

- Windows Memory Diagnostic and got no errors.

- Corsair SSD toolbox showing no fails or errors.

- Double checked all data and power connection on the motherboard, i even re-installed RAM and VGA to make sure everything is placed correctly.

I'm not sure what else i should try?, and i'm assuming it's a motherboard thing, since everything used to run smoothly before upgrading it, so anyone know what could be the problem?, cheers.

Specs:
- Motherboard: Asus B150M Pro Gaming.
- Processor: Intel Core i5-6500, LGA1151 with stock fan.
- RAM: Crucial Ballistix 8GB DDR4 - 2400 (1 only)
- VGA: AMD Sapphire Dual-X R7 265.
- Disks: Corsair Force LS 120GB Sata III + Western Digital 1TB Black.
- PSU: Seasonic 520W.
- Case: Corsair Spec - 01.
 


The only thing I can think of is that the motherboard is either broken or you have high temps. Can you check your temps whilst under load?

Hi jaslion, I've been running Aida64 (Extreme) System Stability Test for an hour and half now, and using HWMonitor to monitor temperature (since core temp didn't work for some reason) , i'm noticing that the maximum CPU temperature is 70 C (158F) while under stress, which is ok i think?
 


That is actually surprisingly cool even.

Yeah, i guess, so what should i try next?, the freezing happen very randomly, like it wouldn't happen for hours, and suddenly it do that silly thing, where i won't even be able to move my mouse cursor, or it moves very slow, then everything goes back to normal.
