Computer freezes with installed graphics card drivers, not without

[patio]

Not quite sure everything else has been ruled out...without spending any more on diagnosing however perhaps you could borrow some equivalent RAM stiks to swap in there for a day or so to completely eliminate  the RAM as the culprit...

Alright, so I tested with some alternative RAM which didn't solve anything. I checked back into the event manager and kept noticing there's a WLAN-related error, so I decided to remove my network card and try using a LAN cable and a Netgear wireless USB network adapter and the freeze hasn't occured for over a week now, so I'm guessing that was the problem here. Is there anything I could do to fix the malfunction adapter or is it just faulty period?

I know of no fixes for wireless adapters...
All hardware fails at some point.

Guess I could try buying another PCI-e net adapter, but it could be that the PCI-e is faulty and that causes it as well.

If the new one does the same return it...then start shopping for a new MBoard.

Yeah, this motherboard is rather problematic in many other aspects it seems. For example, the USB network adapter I'm using right now doesn't function well on the motherboard's USB ports and I get high ping and stuff but works perfectly on the front panel USB. Only the mouse and keyboard seem to work well on the motherboard's USB ports. :/
