At random occurrences, seemingly unrelated to what i'm doing on my system, I'll experience very strange slowdown or complete system lock up.
Theses are my system specs:
i5-2400 (stock)
ASUS P8P67 (BIOS 1704)
NVIDIA GTX 260 (Drive 285.62)
Crucial C300 SSD 128GB (version 0001 I believe)
2x WD Green 2 TB drives
4x4GB DDR3
Windows 7 64bit
Occasionally when I've been streaming video from a browser or playing a game, the system will become unresponsive, yet sound will continue playing at an extremely slowed down speed. Often times my system will recover from this slow down but will continue to do it more often if I do not restart. Other times my entire system will lock up, again unrelated to what I'm doing. I've had it lock up playing games, streaming movies, listening to music, or just browsing the internet. More recently it seems to be less of the slowdown and more of a complete lock up.
After a slowdown or a complete lock-up I'll check my system viewer for errors but I have yet to find anything that occurs during/right before the crash. I've researched online and found some people who seem to have had similar problems related to their SSD's, but some of the fixes they've mentioned and I've tried haven't worked. I haven't upgraded the firmware of my SSD because it didn't seem to solve any real problems for other people and I didn't want to have to wipe out all of my data.
Beyond wiping the SSD and trying out new firmware or the possibility of a bad memory stick I'm not really sure where to go at this point to try and get this problem to go away permanently.
