Hello, 4 months ago I have built my new PC. And since that day I had only problems with it. Currently, my main problem is sudden PC freezing. It happens randomly, once a week or any other time. There is no bsod, the event history has no errors( apart from the reset one).
For the past 2 months, it happened 5-6 times. Most of them were when I was playing a game, but there were 2 times when I was just browsing the internet( no load, I was just reading news and the PC froze). I have reinstalled the OS several times , nothing changed. I have watched and checked my temperatus, there is no overheat . The temps are fine, GPU is almost never above 50C, CPU is around 50-60 in games. I tried memtest, after 7 passes 0 errors. Tried antiviruses, ccleaners and some other prgrams, no viruses or anything. I have checked my HDD for errors one month ago( when the freezes started to become frequent). I had no errors back then.
I went to the store and gave them my PSU and GPU for a check. They said both were just fine. I am thinking that it can be the mobo, but I am unsure, since I had some other wierd errors before. One of the reasons I think it is the mobo, is that for the past 4 months two of my RAM sticks died( at least one of them was fine, since after I RMA'd my first one, I checked the new one, and it had 0 errors, yet died a month later.).
The other problems I had was with my graphics card. I did not buy the graphics card, with the rest of the PC immidiately, since I had no money, I got it only 2 months later( the first RAM died on the 2nd day of using the PC however), After one week of using the Graphics card, I started getting video driver crashes( i got the Nvidia driver has stopped working error). Updated the drivers, nothing changed. The way how I fixed it, was, I borrowed an old gtx 550, installed it, and the errors did not appear. Then I installed my 660, and the errors never appeared again. One month later, the freezing issues started( the next day after the first freeze one RAM stick died).
I reinstalled windows again, and decided not to install any games or programs I have used before. The PC worked for 25 days , but today it froze again ( I was playiying Hitman Absolution on medium-high settings, the game ran perfectly without any lags or freezes)
I have tried updating my drivers, the chipset ones and gpu ones, tried diffirent ones, nothing changed. I have no idea what can be causing it, I find it strange that the driver issue was fixed by just installling another card. Im thinking it is the mobo, but I am not sure. I was told that my PSU is powerfull enough to handle my system. I am desperate to know what the hell is wrong. I dont have any money to buy a new mobo or any other component.
My build:
Asus P8H77-M
Intel i5 3570 3.4Ghz
Asus Gtx 660
Corsair CX500
