Alright so I inherited a mess, a friend of mine let someone else build her computer because I'm normally very busy. I take her computer to my shop, run all the diagnostic hardware I have, everything passes.
Replaced the hard drive since Caviar Green isn't optimal for gaming, replaced it with Caviar Blue, also replaced the Graphics card with a 5770. She had it running the night before into the wee hours. Next day it freezes and crashes on her. So with no bug reports, with nothing being dumped and the only time she crashes is inside of an instance. Is this a hardware or a software issue. I do this for a living and I've yet to come across something like this. All drivers up to date. No conflicts. No BSoD, just a system hang.
Also I had to tighten the motherboard since the guy who built it left half the screws halfway unscrewed. Didn't tighten the board. Not sure if he used spacers, the CPU runs at 54C under AIDA64's CPU Stress Test.
