• My computer has frozen twice so far...help
    1 replies, posted
So I was using my computer as always when all of a sudden my mouse became jumpy/erratic/jerky for a few seconds and my computer froze immediately after. It didn't shut itself down or anything, the entire screen and *everything* just froze. So I shut it down with the power button and booted it up again. A few minutes after logging into my desktop, it froze. I checked the event viewer and it yielded no clues. It only detected that I shut it down improperly, not mentioning what happened to it *before* I did that. What could this mean? I changed my power supply and graphic card on December. Is it the RAM? Processor? I have an NVIDIA GT 240 Intel Core i5 CPU 750 @ 2.67 GHz 2.67 GHz 8 GB of RAM 64 bit operating system Windows 7 919 GB hard drive [URL="http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01892903&cc=us&dlc=en&lang=en&lc=en&product=4007357#N196"]http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01892903&cc=us&dlc=en&lang=en&lc=en&product=4007357#N196[/URL] ^That link has all my computer info, EXCEPT as I mentioned I have a GT 240 now, [B]not[/B] a GT 230 and my power supply is about 700 watts now, not the 350 watts it came with.
Leave the computer off for a while then turn it back on and see if you can download HWmonitor. It monitors the temperature, your computer could be overheating
