Strange Freezing when running anything graphics related
Good Afternoon,
I am new here so please feel free to let me know if I am not following any rules etc.
So I have a PC that seems to be freezing when I run anything related to graphics, be that a flash movie, streaming video, watching DVD's or playing games.
I work in the industry so I am not totally clueless but this one has got me stumped and Google doesn't seem to help.
At first I thought it was crashing as I got a horrible stuck type sound associated with it, the sounds sticks at the point the computer freezes and you get a buzzing type noise.
Today I finally noticed that it wasnt a crash as the little circle on the cursor started to move around so I waited and after about 30 seconds the computer springs back to life.
Now there is nothing in the event logs relating to a warning or error of any kind, nothing has closed etc when it comes back and it will resume the video etc after catching up with itself through a kind of fast forwarding.
Now I am not sure what exactly I need to post in order to get this going so if it is ok can I wait for some form of instructions?
Basic PC specs etc below
Windows 7 Enterprise x64
Intel Core 2 Duo E6600
ABIT AB9 QuadGT mobo
4 x 1GB Corsair PC2-6400
160GB Samsung drive (running just windows and some programs)
1TB WD drive (mainly for files)
Creative SB XFI sound card
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am totally out of ideas now.
Thanks in advance
Matt
