no matter what you spend on your pc, that shouldnt happen...Immight start by testing the ram, you can use any of the 5 free programs on this page to do so.

Ya but with what? Lol.

Windows 8 doesn't just freeze. LoL

Sounds like you've bottle necked your hardware somewhere. Make sure all the connections are tight, test your RAM, make sure you got enough power hitting all your components, check the clock switches.

Like I'll start windows, go to type in my password and it'll freeze, I'll try to open any program, Google Chrome, freeze, updates, freeze.

Hey guys, got my new PC built, we installed Windows 8, all the motherboard drivers, and it's still constantly freezing every 5 or so second, it says programs aren't responding, all the fans are working, lights are on, what do I do?

it's probably overheating. Download CoreTemp and see if it gets to like 80c or so. If that's the problem you need more or larger fans or your airflow is constricted.

fwiw, I've never seen ram cause freezing. I've seen it make the PC blue screen and reboot.

We checked the motherboard temperature, it's at around 30-35c. I even bought an extra CPU heatsink, everything is cool, not overheating.

Been using Windows 8 since it came out, and have had some freezes.  However, they are far and few between.  If it is happening often, I would look for a different culprit.  If it is the occasional freeze, then it could very well be 8.

It's constant freezes, to the point where we can't even log in to get past the log in screen.

Is there a cooling device on your CPU such as a fan + heatsink?  Is that fan rotating?

Try starting up with only one memory module, try each one at a time.

A common reason for Windows to freeze up or reboot automatically during startup process is because one or more important Windows files are damaged or missing. Repairing Windows replaces these important files without removing or changing anything else on your computer.

Yes, all the fans are working, we'll try each RAM at a time now.

We've tried reinstalling Windows 8, still freezing.

You wouldnt be using a SSD would you?
