Hello all,
I just recently spent a chunk of my life's precious savings on a new computer, and put windows 7 on it, because why not?
Well, ever since day 1, it has been freezing constantly, once every few hours when I am in the middle of using the computer (will not freeze if left alone for any amount of time)
Checking the event logger, I get an Error at the time of the crash.
When I restart this dialog box is displayed.
I have asked around, and no one I've asked can come to a consensus on what the problem is. Some say it's the RAM, some say the motherboard, some say the CPU or PSU.
If any further information is needed, please let me know. I want to solve this issue while I can still return some components...
Thanks.
