Ever since I bought it, it has froze on me at least 4 time a week. Finding this disturbing, I decided that maybe it was a driver or port conflict. I got to looking at the device manager and found that several of the listed devices are duplicated several times. For instance, under Processors, it has &#8220;Intel(R)Core(TM)i7-3770 CPU<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/profile\/test6513316\/\">test6513316<\/a>.40 GHz&#8221; listed 8 times, &#8220;ACPI Fan&#8221; is listed 4 times, &#8220;ATA Channel 0&#8221; is listed 3 times, &#8220;ATA Channel 1&#8221; is listed 3 times.<br \/>\nIs this normal. I have a hunch that this may be the cause of my new computer freezing all the time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"iawp_total_views":18},"question-category":[47],"question_tags":[],"class_list":["post-3612","question","type-question","status-publish","hentry","question-category-hardware"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question\/3612","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/question"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3612"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3612"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"question-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question-category?post=3612"},{"taxonomy":"question_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question_tags?post=3612"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
