Windows freezing after CPU/RAM/MOBO upgrade
After a few minutes (can be instantly) windows will completely freeze and on occasion restart, but still frozen, requiring a shut down.
If you upgraded your RAM, make sure it is seated correctly in the motherboard slots. You can also run Windows Memory Diagnostic or third-party tools to test for RAM stability and errors.
Ensure that your new CPU and RAM are fully compatible with your new motherboard. Check the motherboard's specifications on the manufacturer's website to see supported CPU and RAM models.
