A constant freeze problem (unaware of source)

So Hello MajorGeeks. I haven't been on this site for a couple of years, and back then, I was only here to fix my old computer. I am afraid that I am as newby now as back then.

So on my quite newly purchased computer (one month back), I have started getting freezes on a regular basis since about a week ago. Earlier today I felt like trying to experiment around this, but couldn't find any source of the problem.

To begin with, what I mean with a freeze is, the screen freezes and I can not execute any order, like click a button or such. Sometimes I can move my mouse, sometimes I can't. Sometimes I can alt-tab to another running program, sometimes I can't. Altough let me mention that when a freeze occurs, all programs are frozen.

This freeze can occur anytime of the day and in any situation. Sometimes it freezes while I'm reading the online newspaper or when I am browsing my favorite forums. It doesn't matter which browser I use. But it also happen when I am playing games such as Counter-Strike, Heroes of Newerth or Bad Company 2.

Usually, as far as I can remember, I also disconnect (or just can not hear/speak) on skype. Most of the time, any music I have playing is stopped. So I do not believe it was something with my connection, which I considered at first. I get these even when playing nothing but Metro 2033 (offline).

The most scary thing was half an hour ago, when my computer shut down during a freeze and entered a blue screen for a couple of seconds.

I am very unsure of what is causing these freezes, and I have tried to have most of my programs off. As far as I know, I have nothing up and running atm, except Rocketdock, VLC player and Opera. I haven't got a single freeze since beginning to write this gigantic post.


Do you which to have my specs? Well here they are, atleast the major components I can think of atm.

ATI Radeon HD5850
QuadCore Intel core i7 860, 3184 MHz (24 x 133)
What more do you wish to know?

Ok, when I got to this point in the text I felt like listening to a song on youtube, so I clicked on an empty tab up to the right, and about then, It froze. I feel like posting this and then edit it, just in case.


PS: I am very unsure of what my problem actually is, so I posted it here because none of the other subforums seemed to fit.

Kind regards, Fumaza.

 

Wonder if it's a RAM problem?

Also, have you run a Malwarebytes scan yet?

 

I have a gadget on my desktop which shows RAM usage and Processor usage, and both are not close to full. Not even at times of freeze.

I looked at the processes I have up at the moment and found "Systemets Vänteprocess" which took 99% CPU. Literary translated from Swedish it would be "The Systems Waiting process". Nothing seemed to change during a freeze.

And no, I have not run any scans yet. Is Malwarebytes a program? I am going to search on it after posting this.


As for the system event viewer, I recognize that name but I don't really know what that is. How do I reach it and utilize the information. Maybe I should mention that my computer does not always restart, it has happened only twice.

 

Sent to manufacturer, and while waiting for it to get back:

 

Hmm, well I have the warranty for a couple of months more, and since the computer worked fine for the first part of the month, I believe I could still be responsible for some sort of error. I am going to try and brainstorm something which I have done that could possibly have resulted in this.

Thanks for the advice and help by the way.



Kind Regards, Fumaza.
