Random Freezes. - backfire - 06-19-2014
So yesterday my computer suddenly went nuts with bluescreens and freezes despite running fine just the other day. I tried running all sorts of scans and whatnot. Eventually gave up, thought it might be a driver issue and decided it'd be a good excuse to reformat everything. So starting from a clean state, within the hour of having the system up and running again, I got the same freezes I was getting before. They seem to mostly happen whenever I'm doing anything intensive such as playing a game or working with too many programs at once, but I have no way to pinpoint exactly what's wrong.
I already ran a scan overnight with memtest86 and ran a test on my harddrive. My cpu and gpu temps seem to be fine, so I'm left with no other ideas what's wrong. The motherboard/cpu/gpu is about a year old at most, but this definitely has to be a hardware issue of some sort. Does anyone have any ideas how I can diagnosis this? Searching for "windows 7 freezes" doesn't help at all as there's a ton of reasons why it happens. I've been at this for two days straight and I'm kinda losing my head over it x_x
Edit Wait I might have misread something. Can a hard freeze be caused by a cpu overheating?
Okay nevermind. CPU temps of 60+ idle is probably a terrible thing. Weird how this suddenly became an issue but whatever at least I know the problem.
Nevermind figured it out. Was an issue with my ram tunings. Everything work fine again.

Get some new thermal paste and make sure your heatsink is seated well.
