Don't forget hardware can fail at anytime so just because it's been fine for years that doesn't mean it will stay like that forever.
Hardware can and will fail at some point.
Hardware is not my expertise so Layback Bear will help you more with that.
Yeah, I know, that makes sense. But if it's not the problem with the hardware at the moment, I'd love to fix this freezing issue so I can use the computer in peace, but sometimes it would just freeze up when I'm only watching utube videos and couple tabs open on chrome browsing the net. So i have no idea.
No1 has any suggestions on solving this issue? =/
I feel like it might be the graphics card failing, or something to do with graphics card? As the computer freezes more frequently at times while only watching utube, and nothing else, or other flash related things. What do you think?
Screen would at times freeze up for 10-40secs(everything is frozen, if a video with sound is on, it will be giving out weird sound b/c of played video) then come back like nothing happened, at times it says that the display driver failed and recovered.
Sorry Thedoctor44 for getting in the way. It was just a suggestion on my part.
Please continue.
Try removing all Nvidia software and let Windows install the display driver for you, see if that causes issues.
