Windows crashing constantly

[SF22]

Hi guys!

I'm having an issue with Windows 7. Basically the computer in my sig has since a couple of days started to "crash randomly". It doesn't matter what I do but it will always freeze after about using it for 15 minutes. It doesn't matter whether I'm trying to play a game or keep it @ idle on desktop. Basically to describe my problem more in detail Windows will stop responding and when I hit CTRL+ALT+DEL it will show "Preparing Security options" forever. I'm forced to do a reboot in order to get back. All temperatures are normal and I haven't done any changes to my computer hardware or software wise before this started to happen (apart from installing CS:GO Beta). Any ideas? So far I haven't found really any help Googling.

Oh and btw, I'm using an OCZ 2 90Gb SSD.

Well I Googled "Preparing Security options" and came up with -

1. Possible malware
2. Firmware update required on SSD
3. Possible problem with ASACPI.sys (ASUS driver) see here http://www.sevenforums.com/crashes-d...ndows-7-a.html

Not a problem that I've seen before but I do have a major problem of my own at the moment with my system randomly locking up completely and then failing to post or locking up in BIOS. So I have a new motherboard coming (tried changing RAM, PSU and graphics card to no avail).

Good luck
