Hard Faults /sec

Hey guys

 

I have an i7 3770, with a ... motherboard ( it is a lower tier budget board, as it is really difficult to get z77s on ebay, or they are waaay to expensive) and 8GB RAM

No OC anywhere.

So, I started up my PC normally, as you do, and for a good 2-3 minutes it froze, and it happened after like 30 sec into the windows boot.

Open up Task Manager+HW monitor,  and apart from the fact that the CPU was at 100% at 108% boost frequency, the "Hard Faults /sec" chart just turned bright green, then everything froze

Normal operation (eg when everything is running after the initial freeze) it is 0 or pretty much there.

Question is, if it only happens with a startup, what could be the cause?

The OS drive is an SSD, there is an old (=3 yrs old) HDD, another SSD for backup, and I do not trust the motherboard 100% with the rams, but it worked so far reliably
