I'll try to keep this as simple yet informative as possible.

The problem: Computer freezes, no BSOD, no patterns. Just mouse stops moving and computer freezes.

The Rig:
  • PSU: ModXStream Pro 600W 80Plus
  • CUP: Intel Core i7-2600k LGA 1155
  • Mothercoard: AsRock Z75 Pro3
  • Ram: CORSAIR Vengeance LP 16GB (2 X 8GB) DDR3 1600
  • GPU: PowerColor AX7850 2GB
  • HDD: WD Blue WD10EZEX 1TB
  • Rosewill RNX-G300LX
  • LITE-ON DVD Burner
  • Windows 7 64-bit
  • Rosewill CHALLENGER Black Gaming ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Parts RMA'ed (thinking they were the issue)
  • AsRock Motherboard, got brand new replacement through warranty
  • Intel CPU, replaced with warranty

Parts Borrowed from my other functional Desktop
  • Another OCZ 600w PSU
  • WD CAviar 200gb HDD
  • GSkill DDR3-1600-PC3-1200 2GB
  • Rosewill RNX USB wireless adapter

Tests done (all with old,new, and borrowed parts)
  • Replaced motherboard battery
  • updated BIOS (old and new replacement)
  • Disabled all advanced setting in BIOS
  • Run 3dMark (with and without GPU)
  • Updated all drivers
  • Ran HD Tune, WD DATA life, and SEAGATE tools (new and borroed HDD)
  • MEMTEST 54 hours+ no errors
  • Prime 95 (no errors, left overnight sometimes it freezes hours in sometimes not)
  • formatt HDD

There is no pattern what triggers the computer to freeze, I have tried bare with only motherboard, onboard video, one stick of RAM, outside the case but still using the cases power button to turn it on.

I have tried all combinations with new, old and borrowed parts. I have run the memtests for 50 hours+ about 4 times no errors. 3d Mark sometimes runs great multiple times, and then sometimes it freezes. HD tune, and other HDD tests sometimes rull all the way through with no errors, and sometimes it freezes half or towards the end. I know this is a wall of text.

But I have tried everything I know, please if anyone has any idea what it could be or other tests to do it would be greatly appreciated.

Is your computer plugged into a dedicated voltage regulator + cleaner & suppressor? If not, take care of this issue. For as much as an APC LE1200 Line-R voltage regulator and a decent 20-25 USD surge suppressing+cleaning power strip cost, you may as well consider an APC BE750G UPS (http://www.amazon.com/APC-BE750G-Sa...e=UTF8&qid=1416450177&sr=8-4&keywords=APC+UPS).

Examine the capacitors on your motherboard -- do any appear to be blown or bloating on top?

Unplug your computer from power, flip the switch on your PSU if one exists, press and hold power button for a few seconds to completely discharge it, remove PSU and open PSU up -- examine capacitors.

Boot into a live Linux disk and run some benchmarks to see if the issue is OS-level (may be driver related). If Memtest passes, we so far at least know that the problem isn't occurring outside of Windows. This is something you should investigate more closely. If you can get it to freeze in Linux, then we know chances are the problem is not on OS-level and may be indeed hardware.

Keep your PC in bare minimum configuration until you figure out the problem.

For the APC UPS I might have to wait, I don't have the funds for that at the moment. I have tried it in different plugs in my apartment, and at my parents house. I think this is not the issue but something to consider.

I will inspect motherboard and PSU , and do the linux testing.

Thank you so much for taking the time

are you oced? if not then maybe test your harddrive but to be honest it is most likely an OS problem
chreck out this and see if it helps

Never oced
 
Have you tried another video card? Disable the card and use the IGPU. See if that's stable.

The description for Event ID 1003 from source ISCT Agent cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.

If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.

The following information was included with the event:

CAgentState::DoPeriodicSuspendResume ****Error in initialize NetDetect, status = 0x2


the message resource is present but the message is not found in the string/message table



Event filter with query "SELECT * FROM __InstanceModificationEvent WITHIN 60 WHERE TargetInstance ISA "Win32_Processor" AND TargetInstance.LoadPercentage > 99" could not be reactivated in namespace "//./root/CIMV2" because of error 0x80041003. Events cannot be delivered through this filter until the problem is corrected.



I apologize for the bad formatting.
 
Try these things:
different keyboard
different mouse
different sata cables

I have seen keyboards and sata cables flake out and cause lockups before.. I suppose a mouse could cause it as well.

It could even be your hdd flaking out.

I have all of those already. I am going kind of crazy. I have swapped every part.
 
Just switched out the other CPU, this is what I got
