Computer Problems - Hanging/crashing

Replying to rvalkassI had the same problem. After several check ups I finally found that the hanging/crashing was due to trouble in SMPS of my system. After changing the SMPS my computer is now working OK.

I doubt that this problem could be malware/virus/spyware related. After all, you did say it was a new computer and in addition, you already scanned your computer using your anti-virus/anti-spyware programs. If you got a reinstallation disc with your computer, I recommend reformatting your harddrive and reinstalling a fresh new install of your operating system - that way you're sure that there are no software issues and no unnecessary system manufacturer programs. If you can't even start up the reinstallation with a new disc, then you know its a hardware issue and if you still have warranty on it, then return it and ask for a replacement. If your reinstallation does work, it might be some drivers that weren't updated with your hardware.

There are many things this could be - But if you are sure its not the motherboard itself, then it is most likely the BIOS.
Maybe the motherboard has lost the BIOS files. Im not exactly sure how you can resolve this yourself - but if that is the problem, you should send it the manufacturer, as you could end up "bricking" the motherboard, if you try to fix it yourself.

I dont think that the problem could be any time of virus / malware / spyware, as generally these will not destroy the computer, just make it run badly.

seemingly random crash :?
