I recently built my girlfriends comp but it keeps randomly freezing the taskbar and background windows (Any window you where currently working in would work perfectly). I left the taskmanager open when it did it to see if a program was hogging resources. No program seemed to be hogging up anything , it's up to date on every single driver and MS update. I ram memtest on it ram showed up fine. CPU temps are stable around 30c even during the random freezing. Defrag and scandisk did nothing. Hell I even did a repair install and it still acts weird.
(Ran a adaware , spybot and avg to check for malware too)
All that's running is Firefox , Winamp, AVG , Zone Alarm , AIM and some PPPOE dailer software from verizon.
I'm planning to format it and backup her stuff to my other HD if all else fails but I was wondering if anyone has any ideas as to what could be causing this.
All I have to go on right now is that the ram is too slow or that dialer has something to do with it.
