Windows 7 Freezing - ongoing problem
Hey
I've had this problem ongoing for a couple months now and have tried everything to resolve it. Ive had 2 previous threads(last one here https://www.sevenforums.com/crashes-d...tml#post962810) that have got me no success despite following all the advice offered. Really not sure where to turn next - i'll give a brief summary of the problem and solutions ive tried below.
Basically, Windows 7 started freezing for no apparant reason a few months back. The computer was still under warranty so i got the tech guys out from the store i bought it from who advised me the graphics card was being stressed by me running 2 monitors and was overheating. I went out and upgraded the graphics card - problem was still there. At the same time i had a thread going here which suggested i checked the PSU which i did (along with numerous other tests, etc before i got to this stage). It transpired that it was quite underpowered so i upgraded it thinking that would fix the problem - no such luck... At this point im getting pretty frustrated as you can imagine as i rely on the pc for income and it keeps freezing totally at random meaning i lose work, time and money.
I rang up the tech guys again, explained the issues and they then kindly informed me they couldnt help me as i'd invalidated my warranty by replacing the psu and graphics card!
Came back here and decided to bite the bullet and reluctantly just do a complete reboot to fix it once and for all seeing as i couldnt get help elsewhere.
I did this a couple days ago, spent hours reinstalling and setting up my software for work, internet, favoutires etc which took hours and was thinking problem solved. But no... Once again its just frozen again with no reason.
It doesnt appear to overheating, no evidence of a reason behind it that i can see from any of the tests ive done etc. Not really sure what to do now. Cant really afford to go out and buy a new pc but cant survive with it freezing all the time at random.
Suggestions of what the issue could be or where to turn next would be much appreciated!
Thanks!
