If the problem happens inside Windows, it might be a driver issue. Already installed G41 chipset drivers may not like the new G43 chipset.

Change the RAM Slot. Sometimes, a bad memory module can also cause freezes.

For once, try moving to 32bit Win7 and see it makes any difference.

Sounds to me like a case of ram or HDD problem, if memtest+ or windows memory diagnoistic checks ram as fine then move on to checking HDD try running chk dsk file system and bad sector then try SMART check, for example using ActiveSMART software can give a very accurate result if ur HDD is starting to fail

well the whole program is a big smart check u will see no option it will show percentage of performance and drive health

btw, i just fixed a problem almost like yours for a friends computer it was faulty HDD 4 sure replaced it with another one and things were great, you can also try other more direct hdd repair methods such as using software by the offcial maker of the HDD like Sea tools from Seagate since seagate is your hard drive.

just reread your post seem to have missed the part about new board, might just be faulty if its not the HDD, motherboard being the center piece it will be difficult to pin point whats the exact issue would reccomend by only connecting things that are needed to run then try for a while.

Might be some USB hardware like headphones etc causing this problem but it seems strange even after reinstalling windows it should have not happened if it was a software issue

As far as hardisk led is concerned, there may b casing pin problem, that it sometimes conducted sometimes not............so open the case and connect the pins of hdd led on mobo again,
May b its a problem,
Good Luck

Dear recheck your system and remove / disconnect all additional items including graphic card and use builtin vga for testing purpose. Any modem card, WLAN, Sound card OR any additional item including optical drive may be disconnected (both power and data cables). There should be mobo, psu, ram and processor. Give it a test. If it does not fix, than try a different stick of ram and than an other hdd, just get one on loan basis from any of your friends.

Update here accordingly.

more or less same thing happened to me but the difference was that my system got stucked and resume normally by itself or you can say that booting took time for about 15 minutes even going in BIOS took 15-20 minutes problem got resolved when i changed the casing (wtf)

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
