Ok, this is whats happening: Pc powers up correctly, POST reports nothing wrong, I can login to windows without any problem and everything works fine. And then after some time(or right after login), it freezes. The first thing I see is that my harddrives stop responding, like if I open up any disk (C,D,S) it just stands there and loads. Then if I click on the desktop, taskbar, or activate explorer.exe in anyway everything freezes and I'm left with only a (thinking)cursor. Like, I can still chat on steam, skype or other even if I notice that my hdd's won't respond, but if I click the taskbar, it freezes...
Stats:
ASUS Maximus Formula III (A half month old)
Intel i5-760 Quad (A half month old)
2x XFX ATI Radeon HD 5770 (Crossfire) (One is a half month old, other is a half year old)
Corsair 600w PSU (A half month old)
2x Samsung 1TB drives (One is weeks old, the other is 2-3 years)
1x WD 200GB (5-6 years old)
Temps:
CPU: 24*C
RAM: 26*C
PCH: 30*C
VGA: 39*C
The strangest part is that before I installed Win7 (When I had Vista) with a slightly different setup(P5B, Pentium D, 1x 5770), I had no problems, 5 years without any crashes or freezes. I then installed Win7 on the same setup and noticed lags in music(tempo going up and down), and lags in general, like the mouse was lagging ++. I then bought some new hardware, as seen above and installed Win7 again on it. No problems in the start, but suddenly I got a bluescreen and the random freezes started appearing... I may think its either Win7 or one of my HDD's screwing up. I looked at the S.M.A.R.T data of all of them, both samsungs reported healthy and low temp, but I couldn't get any info off my OS disk (WDC)...
Any ideas? :/
Are you using latest drivers (double check it, win7 auto-installed drivers may not be the best ones)?
Check if you have the latest chipset drivers for your mobo.
And yeah, do a CHKDSK on your drives, so you make sure they are not dying.
Other than that, maybe your win7 installment got corrupt somehow.

I installed all the newest drivers when I sat the comp up (chipset, gpu, raid, ++), and I also tried the oldest chipsetdriver. Did a error check + benchmark on my harddrives with HD Tune Pro, no freezes while testing and no errors reported. Ill think ill go back to Vista, never liked Win7 anyhow :/
Check your event log, doing so will point you right where the error is happening
