Windows 7 random freezes and crashes.

    Hey everyone, I've been plagued with a computer problem since building my new setup and seeing as I am in the middle of college classes (with much of the work on-line), these random crashes and problems are becoming more and more devastating.

    My problems are random freezes and shutdowns. No BSOD's, the computer will just randomly freeze with the screens frozen in place, mouse pointer and all, requiring me to usually shut off the power supply.. sometimes the power button works fine.

    Or the screens go black and it reboots.

    What I've tried..

    sfc /scannow - no errors
    Prime95 running for hours - no errors
    memtested sticks of ram - no errors
    re-installed windows
    wiped current ATI drivers, put on apparently more stable 9.12 and hotfix
    disabled onboard sound, put a creative card in with up to date drivers
    all drivers are up to date

    I've been browsing thread after thread over the internet, trying -everything-.. and no luck. Below is my system, with the latest error reports.. ANY HELP would be greatly appreciated.

    Oh, another note.. very often when accessing web pages, I get 'this server cannot be found' and have to spam refresh until the page loads. My roommate on the same internet connection is not having this problem.. my ethernet, onboard, has up to date drivers.

    Also, I seem to have a odd amount of 'screen flicker' for such a beefy, insane, video card. In youtube videos, hulu and in some games.

    Please enter your System Details. It helps us in answering your questions!

    Load the BIOS defaults, update all drivers (including BIOS) and run the system without OC.

    Thanks for the reply. :)

    I updated my system info like you suggested!

    I haven't done any overclocking, though. And I flashed my bios to the latest version a few days ago.. current, up to date drivers on anything. But the problem continues to persist. :(

    You didn't take the final step :) .....
    . I would be concerned about this ....
    Possible CPU problem?
    Run the minidump through BlueScreenView an see what it comes up with.

    Sorry, still a bit flustered over the problems and trying to fix them. Saved my computer profile properly now. :)

    I'll try that now!

    Since this is a self-build, you'll need to look at many things, mainly processor and memory. Look at the motherboard manufacturers forum. Sometimes (slightly) increasing the voltage to the memory (or reducing its speed) could help.
