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?
