If you are pretty confident that is what it is, and I am not from your description, go into the bios and restore to factory defaults. That will eliminate any changes you made.
Then update all drivers in Windows, if you can.
Already tried restoring bios to default. I think its a bios setting problem because like I said when I first built he computer I had the EXACT same problem. I messed around in bios, eventually got it working and it has worked fine for years.

not sure how to fiddle with BIOS other than you trying out different things that worked the first round when you first got/built it...
yeah I seem to have tried every assortment of settings this time around and still nothing. I did manage to get it to work for a good 15 minutes, then I turned it off. Windows tried to update automatically while shutting down and it froze there.

This doesn't make sense. Reformatting your hd does not change your bios settings. Unless you opened up your case and reset your bios using either the switch or jumper settings, the bios is probably in the same state it was before you reformatted.
I didn't think of that you're right. I assumed bios got reset since it was the exact same problem as when I first built the computer and I fixed it in the bios. But either way I had reset the bios to default after I tried a few combinations of settings. So if it wasn't in a different state before it is now lol.

I think your hard drive is dying, and that you'll end up replacing it. If not, then find out why your bios got reset... i might even look to see if there's a new version of the bios for my motherboard and flash that and see if it helps.
I never did understand how to update or flash the bios.

freeze like everything on screen stops?
Yes. And I'll try the memory thing.

could also be related to your hard drive crash or 'whatever' but you didn't really specify what was happening that made you reformat it.
It shut down completely out of nowhere. Tried to reboot and it said bootmgr missing and I couldn't get past that so I just reformatted.

your HardDrive is failing, when you reformat it finds bad sectors in the disk and black lists them so you can not read or write to those sectors, and as long as the rest of the disk stays working you wont have problems but if the disk continues to fail and more bad sectors are created the data you have written on those sectors become corrupt and window will freeze when you try to restart.
cant do much but change your Hard drive.
I tried with two different hard drives. Reformatted them both. I have a third one I can try but its my backup so its holding everything I don't want to lose thus I don't want to reformat it. It seems strange that both of my hds would fail at the same time, that's why I keep thinking its a setting in bios because that fixed it last time.
