Please provide the details exactly when it happens while running particular file or application or in idle mode

also verify that all the 64bit version drivers r installed & updated also the motherboard bios if necessary take help of a tecnitian

run these benchmarks & see if the pc hangs & get back

I think it is hanging due to ur RAM. SB CPUs support 1.5V DDR3 RAM but ur RAM XMS3 is 1.65V and is not adequate for SBs.
So, try with some 1.5V DDR3 RAM and check it again.

BTW which PSU do you have? Also give a screenshot of temp. and load of ur proccy using Core Temp.and Real Temp.

@jering: might be a RAM issue....check with single module of RAM...

I can't understand this point. People use XMS3 ram modules i\with their SB processor without nay problem.. So? :unsure:
Any help will be grateful to me.

i think you need to update your BIOS, my system also have that issue, my problem solved after updating BIOS

iam also using
Intel DH67BL motherboard
Intel i5 2500 Processor
Corsair XMS3 4GB Ram

this is the common problem in new intel DH67BL motherboard. check your BIOS version if it is .0076 means you must update your bios.

1. Check your mem modules with a app named memtest.
2. Check with a another gfx card.
3. Check with a another PSU.
4. Run a app called HWmonitor and Post the screenshot.
5. Check the system with only one memory module installed.
6. Check the ram slots.

BTW, what PSU do you have ?
