Hi all,
In the past few months my computer has become prone to random freezes during Windows login screen, during normal usage, or while the computer is in sleep mode (it would power up randomly in the middle of the night and freeze). At this point, if I reboot my system, it will randomly freeze on the POST screen. It would take a few reboots to get back to loading Windows. The freeze on the POST screen is what makes me believe this may be a motherboard issue.
I really don't know how to troubleshoot this. If I look in the reliability history in Windows 7, the only issue it recognizes is that I didn't shut down Windows properly. Is there any way to better troubleshoot this? So far I was able to run memtest overnight with no errors and have run chkdsk on all harddrives attached to my system.
Here's my specs:
Motherboard: Gigabyte X58A-UD3R
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 950 @ 3.07GHz (Bloomfield)
Memory: 12GB (6x2GB) OCZ3G1600LV2G
HDD: WDC 1TB
GPU: evga Nvidia GTX 470
OS: Windows 7 (64-bit)
PSU: Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold 800 Watts Modular Power Supply
Can post any other information or the CPU-ID report somewhere if needed.
Thanks,
BW
