windows 8 and windows 10 crashes for no reason
Hi, i have been facing some issues with my rig. 
the problem is after installing windows 8 or windows 10 the pc freeze either at start up or at a random time after login. Mouse keyboard stop responding and the HDD bulb is constantly lit without blinking as it should be. I have to restart to use the pc again.However this problem does not occur with windows 7, I dont know why this is. As remedies I've tried ;

1) unplugging rams,cpu,graphics card,network card and putting them back
2) Monitored my rig's temperature while running "stress my pc" and "intel burn test", the temperatures never went above 74 Celsius and the pc did not crash during any test
3) Tried resetting ram voltages from 1.5V to 1.25V . And setting ram timing on both slots to 9-9-9 -24 
4) Tried flashing bios to the latest bios for the board , F8 bios 
with all motherboard drivers 
5) Did a complete format and tried installing windows 8 , 8.1 and windows 10 separately. Non of them worked


my Rig details are 

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-4130 CPU @ 3.40GHz (4 CPUs)
Ram : RipJaws 4G x2 , 1600Mhz , 1.25V , ram timing 9-9-9-24
Motherboard : G1 sniper B5 
Graphics card : msi GTX750Ti 2G

Current stable OS : Windows 7 ultimate 64bit

Any suggestions to what the cause might be or any fixes you can come up with will be greatly appreciated

What I would suggest first is to do a Clean Boot of the computer. This will disable all running services other than the needed Microsoft services. Once the computer boots up, you can turn on a couple of known services at a time, then restart the computer. This process of illumination will aid in the troubleshooting to find what may be causing your computer to freeze.

Another suggestion would be to scan your computer for any malware/spyware infections on your computer.
