Run everything at stock first, see if the problem remains

Have you run windows update until there are no more updates?
Installed all drivers for motherboard, GPU and Intel stuff?

Warsam71 · 24 Aug 2013 at 01:55

Agreed with More Speed. Make sure to reinstall all the drivers, and check to ensure you don't have any programs running in the background.

Based on the OP, I doubt it's a simple driver upgrade needed. Set it to stock , reinstall windows, see if it still misbehaves.

What SSD? Have you tried with just the hard drive? Or just the SSD?

Did you reset your SATA options after clearing the cmos? It probably defaulted back to IDE, which means you had to reinstall Windows as it won't boot with that (if it was set to AHCI or RAID before that). And if you now reinstalled under IDE mode it would take a bit of effort to get back to AHCI mode.

sounds like a graphics issue to me. is the card overclocked? what temps are you getting?

jaackla · 24 Aug 2013 at 12:34

To answer everyone questions
graphics card aint overclocked and ive now put my intel i5 back to normal so nothing is overclocked
ermm i dont no if i reset sata all i did was reset cosmos and then i had to change my boot option so i can re install windows i had to disable sumin so it would reinstall windows on my ssd and i just re formatted my pc and i have all drivers updated and all windows update done too
