So here is the problem...every so often, my computer will freeze for a little less than a minute, but it seems like forever. I have no idea why it's doing this. It does it when I'm watching videos, playing games, or just browsing the internet. It's a real problem when I'm playing games, especially when I see the enemy right in front of me and my computer decides to freeze. I'm not really sure where to start with this problem. Any idea what's going on?
Mine was doing something similar, right before the graphics card died. Try seeing if you can try a different graphics card. In the meantime, uninstall your video card drivers and install the latest ones from [url]http://nvidia.com[/url]
