Freezing / Crashing

**noname12** · 10-12-2003, 11:13 AM

Well before the mods say anything this shouldnt be in the games section because it is a problem shared by any game I play not a single one, and it happens when I dont play games.

Right so heres the problem, my computer freezes completely, cant move my mouse or ctrl + alt + del or anything, the only fix is the restart button, I first noticed it playing games, sometimes I would pause my game and go somewhere then come back and its completely frozen on me, at first I thought my computer misses me so it commits temporary suicide, but then it started happen during the games I play and now it happens when I am using windows normally, like just surfing the net using IE downloading using IRC and winamp in the background, its seriously beginning to annoy me because sometimes I dont save games or work and it crashes.

So whats the problem here?

Told ya this ones a hard one

I suppose the first thing to try is rebooting in SAFE mode and see if it still crashes
