I built a PC for my friend, but even when installing windows...it just freezes! I eventually got it installed but still freezes. I believe it is a hardware problem...maybe drivers but not sure. Bios is updated and correct, voltage and temp are okay. CMOS settings are correct with reading CPU and bus info. I have tested the ram in another PC and is fine and the ram in my system locks up when tested in this custom PC.
