Windows 7 Random freeze/lag

[Kusetjuvpaajakt]

This lag can occur at almost anytime. Right after I boot up ot inside windows. First I though it was the java making ithangs. <It happens between 5-6 tiems every day and usually last for about 30.-45 sec¨
When it freezes I cant press anythin. Only shift+tabk between windows. WHen I used other browser it still continued. Usualle the freezes happens every 3 hours,.Also, when it stops up, its showing a few more proccessors than usuall, like 5.

I have:

• Disabled uneeded services
• Defragment scheudule
• Checked harddrive for errors, checked ram for errors. (memtest etc)
• Updated all drivers from the motherboard CD, but not bios? The gigabyte bios says file size incorrect so I cant change bios.
• Fastened the cables into the pc properly
• Checked temps, normal: between 17 and 25 idle Cpu uncklockd
• Updated all updates evdn the ones stopping windows for lock-ups. Those updates came from a site and was standalone packases.

Whats weird? I can play games forever or look at a 1080p YT movi or even 4k...This would rule out a hardware I guess?

My specs:

• GIGABYTE GA-970A-DS3P
• AMD FX 8350 4.0 GHz
• 8 GB DDR3 1600 MHz
• 750 W strømforsyning
• Corsair Carbide SPEC-01
• Radeon R9 280 DD 3 GB
• 2 TB harddisk
• DVD-brenner

It sounds like you're facing computer freezes or hangs intermittently, and you've already taken several troubleshooting steps to address the issue. Here are some additional suggestions to help you resolve the freezing problem: 1. Check Windows Event Viewer: Look into the Event Viewer for any error messages or warnings at the time the freezes occur. This can give you more insight into what's causing the freezes. 2. BIOS Updated: Even though you mentioned having issues updating the BIOS due to file size errors, it might be beneficial to troubleshoot this further. Check the motherboard manufacturer's website for any BIOS updates and follow their recommended method for updating. 3. CPU Overheating: Despite normal idle temperature readings, monitor the CPU temperature during heavy tasks or when the system freezes. Overheating can sometimes cause freezes. Use applications like HWMonitor to keep an eye on temperature readings. 4. Testing Hardware Components: Perform a thorough hardware test, including stress testing the CPU, GPU, and RAM to ensure no faulty components are causing the freezes. 5. Drivers and Windows Updates: Check for the latest drivers for all your hardware components, especially the graphics card and chipset drivers. Ensure that Windows is fully up to date with the latest updates installed. 6. Resource Monitoring: Monitor system resources (CPU, memory, disk usage) in Task Manager when the freezes occur to see if there is unusual behavior, spikes, or high usage that could point to a specific component or process causing the issue. 7. Startup Processes and Services: Review the startup programs and services that run during startup. Disable unnecessary startup items using Task Manager or MSConfig and check if this helps. 8. System File Checker (sfc /scannow): If the System File Checker found errors, try to resolve them by running the command in an elevated Command Prompt and see if it helps stabilize the system. 9. Software conflicts: Any new software installations or updates coinciding with the freezes? Consider rolling back recent software changes or performing a clean boot to rule out software conflicts. If you continue to face freezing issues, consider seeking professional help to conduct more in-depth diagnostics to isolate the root cause of the problem.
