Leave it stock clocked and up the cpu voltage a little bit, and ensure the RAM voltage and frequency is correct. I run 1.35V Core and 1.7 RAM

I talked to Microsoft and they suggested the usual try safe mode, update drivers, trying unplugging all USB devices. Safe mode works fine, and after uninstalling a lot of programs, it still plagues me. Short of a system refresh, which would wipe all of my installed games and save files and whatnot, I'm not sure what to do. I think it's tied to Google Chrome, but I'm not sure what in the world I would do about any of this. A PC that's less than 4 months old shouldn't be having these kinds of issues :confused:

Ever actually reinstall Chrome?

I tried uninstalling it once, but then I couldn't get anything open the next time I booted so I had to boot into Safe Mode with Networking and install it again from there, still did it after that unfortunately.

You've definitely got something very borked with your Windows installation and/or Chrome. Running any extensions?

Was running a lot, but I cut a lot of them out yesterday to no avail. Think removing the whole lot could maybe resolve something? I wouldn't be too surprised if it were due to an extension now that you mention it.

I'd say disable and delete all the extentions, effectively disassociating them from your Google account. Uninstall it, reboot, run CCleaner again, reboot, reinstall and test without logging in to your Google account.

I'm grasping at straws here really.

On a slightly unrelated but also related note, would I be able to re-install Windows to a new SSD if I were to switch it out for a different one? I originally got the Windows 8.1 OEM installation disk through my university, and I'm really unsure about all of it's installation limitations aside from being tied to the motherboard it's installed on originally. I'm really liking the look of this deal on Amazon today.

Also another reason I was trying my hardest to not reinstall was that I didn't want to have to go through everything again given that I actually only have the 8.1 installation disk, so I'm assuming I'd need to go through the whole upgrading to 10 process all over again.

If you already upgraded to 10 and created a microsoft account and signed in then all you have to do is reinstall 10 fresh using the media creation tool and sign into your account and its automatically activated.

This :D

You can just download the Win10 ISO using that utility, I believe if you've migrated your previous install you can even just use the Win8.1 key to activate, but if you logged in with an MS account it should activate automagically.

Sweet. So since that's such a good deal on a 850 EVO @ 250GB, I'm going to purchase it. What I'll plan on doing is fiddling with as much as I can in the next few days to see if I can't remedy the problem, and if nothing works, then I'll use the new 850 EVO to do a clean install to. If something happens to work, and it gets fixed before then, I'll just have a nice extra SSD to play with. I'll keep you guys updated on what steps I take to troubleshoot the issue as I go though, still, could be a good learning experience.
