Hi all.
Kinda banging my head against a wall here. every so often when browsing the net, opening up a hard drive etc the pc will freeze for a few seconds and then come back. here is what ive done so far.....
memtest = clean
bad sectors = clean
temp check on cpu and gfx = clean
anti virus = clean (Avira, malwarebytes)
HDD defrag
avg tuneup
i even did a clean install of OS which seemed to do the trick for a while then the problem returned.
all drivers up to date (i dont suffer any freezes while im gaming only when im doing something on the pc itself i.e opening a program, browsing one of my harddrives etc) also when it does freeze i get the spinnin circle thing telling me its busy, while it is frozen i can open up the taskmanager and see that my cpu isnt busy at all and the ram is also fine.
here are my system specs
1050w viper PSU 80+
AMD Phenom II X6 Thuban core
8Ghz DDR3 1600mhz corsair ram
ASrock 990fx extreme 3 mobo
GTX 770 gfx card
Mushkin Chronos 120gb SSD (i know not to defrag)
standard 1tb and 500gig HDDs
Thermalright Archon 2 cooler
the case also has 1 front fan and 2 rear fans.
anyone got any ideas as to what is causing these freezes as im all out of ideas
many thanks in advance
