| | Freezing PC Hello to all, I am sorry if I have not post this in the right section or if I did not give enough detail. I have search the web and this site but I could not solve the issue. My PC is freezing in Windows 7 x64. Using the mouse or typing control/alt/delete does not work. I use it for Recording music. My software is Avid Pro Tools 8 and Propellerhead Reason 5. I thought one of those was the problem until it froze while I was online and also when I was using Microsoft Word. Almost at anytime it will freeze causing me to press the power button (Hard Reboot). I did a Memory Test, Virus Scan and SCF Scan. No help to this problem. I saw on another website that it might be the NVIDIA GeForce GT 520 graphics card. I do not have any Minidumps because I do not get any BSOD errors. Windows 7 x64 Sevice Pack 1 AMD Phenom(tm) II x4 840 Processor 3.20 Ghz Installed Ram 6.00 GB NVIDIA GeForce GT 520 graphics card Thanks in Advance! |

| | Go through the steps for Troubleshooting Steps for Windows 7  WarningSome of the steps require that you open up your system, so before doing any of the re-seating and connection checking steps, answer these two questions: Are you still under warranty? Does your warranty allow you to open up the machine to check hardware? If you are unsure of the answers to these questions, contact your system manufacturer.  WARNING: Some steps in that tutorial involve removing the system case or system panels and can void your warranty!!!The steps specifically related to the warning are steps 8, 10, and 11. Also, we should check the compatibility of your RAM with that processor:

| | In the SPD tab, there are three or four slots that need to be uploaded. Please upload those when you have a chance. It's easy to miss that step, so you are not the first to do so.  Everything looks good from what I saw so far, though. |
