My windows 7 PC is having a strange softlock scenario where only default windows programs will open and any other program will get stuck in the background as a running process and unable to even be killed with task manager.
The PC is usable for 2 minutes, where in that time you can get whatever you want to run. After that, programs will do nothing while windows remains running and able to open default programs like windows explorer to browse files.
The exception is google chrome, which will softlock then crash and I can kill the process, but not open chrome again afterwards.
There are no beeps to indicate a hardware problem, the pc doesn't shut itself down and component temperatures are well below maximum. GPU idles around 55c CPU idles around 30c .
Certain programs like my razer synapse updater will get stuck at 0% a game client I use for an online game stays at 0, also with no error message. If the game client couldn't connect to the internet it would tell me but it does nothing at all.
SPECS:
MOBO: Gigabyte x79-UP4 REV 1.1 SKT 2011
RAM: Kingston HyperX 8GB 1600MHZ DDR3 2X4GB sticks
GPU: XFX AMD Radeon HD 6970 (stock clock)
CPU: Intel core i7 4820k (stock clock)
PSU: Corsair TX 750W 80+ Gold
OS: Windows 7 64bit
