System freezes after start-up

[PitchR]

I've been experiencing a problem. The system freezes after the start-up, when loading any additional programs apart from my hardware ones. Programs like steam, for example, or puush. If I enable those programs to start when the PC starts, my system will freeze until I restart and until I disable the auto-start on these programs. I'm not entirely sure what's causing this, any help is very appreciated.

What are your complete system specs? It's very hard to help troubleshoot a problem without knowing what you're working with. Freezing problems are usually related to either overheating, RAM problems, or a cheap PSU. Have you monitored your idle/load temps for the CPU/GPU?

Here are my system specs. My PSU is the corsair HX750. Idle temps for the CPU and GPU are, on average, about 30 degrees Celsius.

I'll have to check it out later. Images are blocked on my work computer...

In that case, I'll post the specs here.

Intel Core i7 4770k @ 3.5GHz
16GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 1866MHz
MSI Z87-GD65 Motherboard
3gb NVIDIA GeForce GTX780

1TB Seagate HDD
Corsair HX750 80+ gold certified

That's a nice system. Did you enable the XMP profile for the RAM in the BIOS? Have you run Memtest86+ to test for RAM errors? That's where I would start.

Yep, I've enabled the XMP profile. I will run memtest and report back once it's done.

The memtest gave me a pass, so it was successful.

The problem still persists however. It couldn't have been the RAM.
