    Hi lads,

    Very tricky problem with a new build.

    Basicly, just as I open or close a window or application the whole computer freezes. No keyboard/mouse response, no task manager, even the HDD stops seeking. Temps are fine tho.

    This happens randomly and sometimes not for a whole day. I was running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. I then installed Windows 7 pro 64 bit and still get the lock ups.

    I just happened to have upgraded my psu but that didnt fix it either...not that the old one was to blame.

    All the components are new. But these problems only started when I changed my motherboard and CPU.

    SPECS are:

    i5 2500k @ 4.2 GHz
    MSI P67a-GD55
    2x2GB OCZ 10666 Low Voltage Dual Channel
    ASUS 6970
    XFX 650 PSU

    ===============

    I feel its a problem with the BIOS setting my RAM timmings and voltage wrongly.

    What would be a more stable setting for low voltage ram @ 7-7-7-20 1.65V 1333MHz

    AND its specified as dual channel ram are these known to cause problems?
