hello everyone

this is my first post here, and im seeking help to fix this weird problem that is happening for the past few weeks

first of all, i'd like to apologize for my english, it's not my native language and i'm not very good at it, but since i couldn't get any help from sites/forums of my own nationality, im asking here

so here's the problem:

my computer randomly freezes, several times a day, EXCEPT when i'm playing something, wich is pretty weird, because it is usually the other way around

here's what i've tried so far, that hasn't worked:

-i already checked the temps, and everything seems fine
-removed and cleaned the memory and video card with rubber and a brush in the contacts
-reinstalled the graphics driver, tried to put different versions, nothing changed
-even formatted the computer, from windows 7 to 8 and back to 7, but the problem persist
-Tested with just one stick of RAM
-Tested with the other stick of RAM

i was suspicious that the problem could be the HDD... i have two old ones, both SATA, a 200gb one, wich is the primary, with the system on it, and a 500gb one

i tried to use only one, even tried to install windows on the 500gb one, but the freezes continued

my config:
i7 2600k @stock
2x4GB corsair dominator 1333mhz
GTX 560ti
mobo asrock p67 pro3
XFX pro 650w

so that's it, i have no clue what it could be, so if anyone can help me, that'd be great

again, i apologize for my bad english, but i hope you guys can understand what my problem is
