The machine has always had freezeing problems since day one. Just at first I never witnessed it freezing while playing Champions or watching movies from DVD. If I was watching a movie from my HD or from youtube or hulu it would freeze within 20 minutes. However recently even Champions has been freezing, which could be something new with how the game works as it does get updates frequently. Freezing is not consistant with the game like it is with youtube as I could have it running for 6 hours without a freeze, or it would freeze in minutes.
No new devices, no new software. Only windows updates have been security and recommended updates.
No unknown devices or yellow triangles.
The image is never distorted or black. All of the lights and fans in the tower seem to still function.
Something new that has happened is a short freeze, where it will only freeze for 5 seconds then go again. That has never happened before as I have tried to see if it would unfreeze on its own with no luck, so now I usually never give it the time. Also twice now the computer has suddenly rebooted. I have not updated anything since my first post.
There are several newer BIOS updates I could download, and just recently windows update shows a new GPU update.
