Ran OCCT, got warm but no freeze. Watched mem usage and cpu usage while trying to rip and none went up.

It was enough to completely confuse the CD drive enough to cause a blue screen crash. Updating the firmware on the CD drive fixed the problem and I was then able to successfully rip that CD.
Otherwise you may have to opt for an external USB CD drive. Research the drive to make sure it will be a good drive for ripping CDs. Some drives do much better than others for ripping while some drives are just horrible for ripping. You want to make sure you get a good one.

I was able to rip one last night, but every other CD I've tried has not worked correctly.

Set to max power.

That's an extreme last resort, it took them 2 weeks to build this one, that's a long time for an experiment.

Did you check the even logs for anything relevant?
Since you _can_ rip with WMP, what do the other application's you're using have in common? Are they using the same backend (E.G. LAME::YES). Are their Lame installs conflicting? Is lame corrupt? Try running it at a command line.

LAME would explain freezing when ripping as MP3 freezing, but what about FLAC and WAV?
