Freezes/crashes when watching high resolution video
Random freezes / system lock ups when playing games or watching vids
Exact same problem. I WOULD contact the member but I cannot. I am so frustrated because I tried so much and nothing works. Its not the ram, I am not even sure if its the graphics card anymore. I only freeze instantly when I am watching high resolution videos, lower ones tend to take a few mins to really crash... I think!
I play Battlefield 3 and other games and I rarely have a problem. Sometimes if I alt tab or try to exit the game, click on the window on bottom of the screen it would then crash. I tried different browser but that does not help for youtube. I tried reinstalling the adobe flash stuff that does not do it. I tried running windows media player instead of VLC (which oddly works better but still crashes). I tried removing and putting back in the graphics card, I tried testing ram, I tried reinstalling graphics card drivers (which seems to work for a short while)... I am out of ideas.
I have a windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit Service Pack 1
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3820 CPU @ 3.60GHz
Ram: 16 GB
The graphics card is Geoforce GTX 670
total information from the IBuyPower asshats. If I did not include something important, here it is below. I contacted IBuyPower and I ended up sending it in. They send it back not fixed at all. I do not want help from them anymore and asked what the process of getting a refund is, but I would prefer to get this fixed instead if I can!!!
