System Specs;
PSU: Corsair AX850
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-P67A-UD7-B3
CPU: Intel i7 2600K
RAM: Corsair Dominator DDR3-1600 8GB (2x 4GB)
Video Card: 2X Powercolor 6970's PC+
Sound Card: Creative SB X-Fi Fatality (One with the drive bay)
SSD: Corsair Performance 3 128GB
HDD: 2x WD Black 1TB Drives.
Monitor: Dell U2410
Basically my system has recently started hard locking at random. When it hard locks the system becomes almost completely unresponsive. The hard drive activity lite becomes solid and the PC moves at a crawl for about 10 seconds before it just freezes and I can't do anything. For example if it freezes I can continue doing whatever it is I am doing until it needs to load something or if I close the window then I cannot do anything longer. Another example if it freezes and I press CTRL ALT Delete the screen will turn black after about 5 minutes of waiting then display a warning saying it cannot open it. The only way to fix this is to hit my reset button which case depending on what it was doing at the time it will complain about windows being improperly shut off and give me the safe mode options at stuff. Now if it hard locks while I'm away and I come back to wake my monitor from sleep and it is frozen It'll wake up with a error complaining about windows media player side show gadget becoming corrupted then I'll have to restart. This time after restarting though It'll run CHKDISC and do nothing special.
Now every time it locks up nothing show up in event log, there is no BSOD or anything to indicate a problem outside of the hard locks.
I've already ran 2 passes of memtest86+ and both of which completed without any errors.
All the temps for my CPU/GPU/Drives are good. Never getting overly warm.
I am not overclocked outside of the factory OC's on my GPU's which even if I set it all back to the stock speeds the PC still hard locks.
All SMART data for my HDD and SDD are displayed as good. Using both Disc Checkup and Crystal Disc Info.
I am using the latest updates and drivers for my system + latest bios.
I've tried clearing CMOS and that didn't fix it either.
I can play games just fine without it freezing (makes sense cause my games are one of my HDD's) I mainly play source games and BF: BC2.
Bottom line is I'm at a loss at what the issue is.
Is my SSD failing despite all the reports showing it as good?
Is it just my OS some how being corrupted?
Is my motherboards starting to go?

On top of that I cannot manually navigate to anything on my SSD which has my OS on it and nothing more. So say I want to go check my windows folder to find logs and such the second I try to open the windows folder it hard locks when I try to access it. Now even weirder I can acesss those folders that are locking up if I use the run box. So say again I want to access the windows folder, I have to do C:\Windows\ in the run box and it will let me access it without locking up.
Now every time it locks up nothing show up in event log, there is no BSOD or anything to indicate a problem outside of the hard locks.

looks like just barely over 3 months old SSD needs to be RMA'd.
