Windows 7 freezing
Hi.
I have Windows 7 professional 64-bit upgrade edition installed on my custom PC.
Spec:
Abit AN78GS Motherboard
AMD Athlon X2 4600 64 BIT Processor
Hitachi 320GB hard drive
Corsair 4 GB DDR2 667MHz RAM
Sparkle graphics card
The operating system has been crashing (freezing) and subsequently I have to turn off/on the power supply to switch it back on due to no response when it crashes.
This has recently occurred twice in one hour with both cases happening whilst watching a video on youtube in Internet Expororer 64-bit.
I HAVE FOUND THE EVENTS RELATED TO THESE CRASHES UNDER SYSTEM LOG IN THE EVENT VIEWER:
SOURCE
Kernel-power
Event ID
41
Task category
(63)
Source
Event log
Event ID
6008
Task category

Any help would be much appreciated!!!
NEW CRASH!!!!
Recently Windows crashed again and automatcally shut down. A stop error screen (blue background) appeared stating the following:
Windows had to shut down your computer.
Attempt to reset the display driver and recover from timeout failed etc etc.
AGAIN this crash occured whilst browsing the internet in Internet Expororer 64-bit although this time it was just viewing a website and not watching a video.
Now at my wits end!!! Maybe should have stuck with XP!! 3 years and no problems!!!
