This started happening yesterday as I was trying to open a jpg. My pc just froze, and would not respond to anything forcing me to do a hard restart by holding down the power button. It has been now doing this completely randomly anywhere from not posting, to about 30 to 50 minutes of use in. I have a backlit keyboard and mouse that will sometimes act as if the power has been cut when the pc does freeze and the lights turn off. It has frozen and gone blank in safe mode with networking as well. Ran Avast! and nothing came up, have done chkdsk and the windows ram test thingy as well and everything seems to be fine.
My Build
Biostar TA970
Sapphire Radeon 4870 1GB 128bit
12 gigs of ram (2x4gig kingston, 2x2gig Gskill, both running at 1333)
WD HDD not sure the model number specifically 320gig
LG DVD-RW drive
OCZ 700sxs2 700w psu
random usb devices attached (wifi dongle, mouse, keyboard)
This motherboard was installed about 10 days ago and it has been fine running whatever I throw at it untill yesterday. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.
