OK so I'm at my wits end here. I installed a new CPU, an AMD FX 8350 and recently I've been getting random hangs that require a hard restart. I upgraded from a 4 core Phenom II 955.
I've always used Speccy and never had a problem.
I have noticed it doesn't happen when speccy is not running. I really like using it however and would like to run it again.
Is this a common occurance? OR am I looking in the wrong direction?
I've tried updating BIOS, drivers, etc etc and still random hangs. Only about once a day.
