Hi and thanks for taking time to help. ASUS Striker II NSE 790i GTX 280 1GB OCZ Gold 4GB(2x2gig) DDR3 1600 Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 Coolmax 1200W WD 1TB 7200RPM XP I finished putting a new PC together last week and I've been having freezing issues with it. First I installed the Windows 7 beta and when I would play games the PC would freeze after 10-30mins and just hang there. I couldn't alt-tab, ctrl-alt-del or do anything to get out of the game but just reboot the PC. I thought it might be a windows 7 thing so I reformatted and installed XP. After getting the XP install finished and the newest gfx driver installed I tried to play a game and it froze up and just hung there again. Getting this PC running as been a hell of one mess up after another. Now I'm almost done and this crap crops up. If anyone can tell me what I need to do to get this working I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance, GFH.
Dark_Master_Dragon If your computer is freezing then it might be to the effect of you playing a game to long and eventually the computer has overheated/the fan is broken or your computer couldnt load the next image. Or that you have a very old computer and you need a new one ^_-
It does definitely not look like an old computer! But yeah, it could be overheating. As opal asked, does it only freeze when playing a game?
A computer should definitely be able to sustain continuous load. 24/7. Otherwise it's built like shite.
I dont know If people play to many PC games then the CP might frie up most of the times i had it once before but in other ways some computer are better and some arent so good.

You can't play to many games or use your comp too much (within reason ie. cleaning it once in a while etc) if it is properly setup.
