So built a new computer back in Dec and have been trying to track the source of this problem down since then.
The computer will freeze up for 5 to 10 seconds at a time, sometimes stuttering slowly through this time than catching up.
I tested the ram with memtest86 and found I had 2 sticks throwing errors so I pulled them out and the rest tested fine. So the computer ran fine for about a month after that, surprise, it came back and now another stick has thrown the same test 6 error the ones I took out were. So while this appears to be a ram problem, what might be causing more of the ram to fail? The power supply? The motherboard?
