Yeah i tried replacing the HDD and the RAM in it and it still does the same so i just took it to a shop. Im thinking that it has something to do with the CD-ROM drive. But i will let you know what they found when i get my back.

Yo man, when you turn on your 4K does the CD-Rom orangeish color or is it green. Cus im thinking that if its a orangeish color that means that the motherboard isnt reading the cd-rom drive and freezes at that point.

Yeah i found out that it was the CPU but you know they have two CPUs. So go to www.mpcstuff.com and you can get both for like 300.00. Or you can try to pin point it and just get one of them. I think its better to get both replaced that way you dont have to worry about the other one going out.
