Here is what happened:

I installed a fresh new copy of Windows 7 64-bit onto my computer. Everything was working fine for the first few days, but then it started to freeze once a day. It wouldn't be freezing during a game, or anything related to any of the games I am playing, but usually when I am browsing the internet. With it freezing once a day, I don't even care to diagnose that shit cause its so annoying to test every single part. There is a computer store where I live (Alberta) that charges like $50 to diagnose and test every part to see what the problem is that I am contemplating on going.

To answer some questions, I do not have another HDD or SSD or another set of RAM to test out. I have done a memtest on the RAM and completed it with no problems. I have tried my onboard graphics card and it also froze before but when it did freeze, it turned my screen into a blank screen that was a light shade of blue (not BSOD). I have updated all my drivers properly etc etc.

As for that shut down issue, I am pretty sure my wiring inside from my power supply to my fans and stuff is wrong but it doesn't seem to pose a problem so I just shut down normally. So this problem is 'solved' I guess.

A part of me thinks its the SSD but I really don't know how to test it, nor do I know how to know if thats the part that is causing the problem.

Thanks for all your help!
