Hi guys, I've been having nothing but serious issues with my new computer. I ordered from AVAdirect just recently and the system should have no issues whatsoever. I installed Windows 7, WoW, and a few other smaller programs like CCleaner, AVG, etc. Since I've had it, it seems to just randomly freeze up at times...there's really not interval, sometimes it won't last long enough to load up the desktop...sometimes it can last up to 9 hours or so as long as it's not doing much. I'm mostly in the dark but I've done some things that were reccommended by the AVA people. I ran a diskcheck through the command prompt and it came up with no errors, they had me reset some voltages to ensure everything was running correctly, the temp is within normal range...somewhere around 36 degrees celcius or so I believe.
The biggies that might help towards the conclusion is this:
- EVERY time I run the defragger it is GUARENTEED to freeze at some point in time. I HAVE run a hard drive check through western digital and it comes back with 0 errors.
- I talked to a tech buddy of mine that builds computers up in Canada and he told me to try taking out the stick of ram furthest from the CPU and running the defragger. It ran to completion without freezing up, at a much slower rate you can imagine. When I stuck the ram back in, the freezing problem continues. He told me something like he would give it a 70% chance that it's faulty RAM, or a possible 30% chance that it's the CPU but he knows that it's definitely a hardware issue that should not be occuring given that it's a brand new computer. I'm sending it back to AVAdirect soon but I just wanna make sure they know exactly what it is so I don't have to go through this again.
Thanks guys, and if you need any other info please feel free to ask.
