Hello, I built a PC for a friend and these are the specs:
Asus M5A97 R2.0 EVO
FX 8320
R9 280X
Crucial Ballistix 8gb
WD 1TB blue
XFX 550W
Anyway, once it was built, it started freezing. I found out it only freezes when using the internet. If it was connected to the internet, it would freeze, and even faster if we were playing internet games. I thought drivers did this, but we've tried Windows 7, windows 8, windows 8.1, with and without drivers.
Funny thing, the PC works perfectly if NOT connected to the internet. We opened Red faction 2 and left it open for more than a day and it worked PERFECTLY. It also worked for like 2, 3 days just on windows, without internet.
So, trying to fix it, i bought an asus internet card. I installed it, connected the internet to it, but it still froze.
My friends laptop works perfectly on the other hand, on the same internet, same cable, same modem.
Any suggestions please?
I think the motherboard is dead.
