Sorry if I couldn't explain myself.
But I missed one thing to ask.
I have my OS on a SSD (going to 1 year old) and my games on 2 HDD (some age). Can be that a problem with the stability?

So about your computer and your distro freezing please check the following :
1. Linux in general is a bit sensitive to overclocking so if you have overclocked your computer you may experience freezing.
Also under clocking your computer it will freeze as well :P
2. Turn off your computer. Unplugged it from the electricity plug for 3-4 minutes.
As strange it sounds it worked for some Linux systems that were very slow or were freezing.
3. We had another strange incident with computer freezing while playing games witch a crackling sound.
Removing the sound card everything was working fine.
Inserting back the sound card computer was freezing again.
The sound card was a very expensive one , we called the manufacturer etc long story and at the end he told us to change the power supply.We were 100% sure that it was the sound card problem because the PSU was tested and was ok ,the power Supply we had was brand new and a good brand,but what a surprise changing the PSU it solved all the problems.
4. Kernel , 4.2 is a very nice and stable Kernel to use and 4.3rc5 is simply amazing according to my tests.
That's all for now... let me know if any of these helped you out...

The good news: was the MB causing all the problems with the RAM sockets that are f**ked up.
The bad news: I'll have to trash it... well it was good to play with him... RIP.
Anyways, thanks to all of you guys, I'm really thankfully.
Peace.
PD: If anyone want to know the MB model, it is: GA-Z77X-UD3H rev 1.1
