Hey people,

back when i had vista every so often my computer would freeze and i had to reboot no matter when i overclocked or ran it on stock...

now been on windows 7 for a few months and its starting to happen again, seems to happen allot when listening to music on youtube

had my processor today at 3.6Ghz as i have had for over a month now and wehn i ran 25 loops of intel burn test it was perfect with hardlyany increase in Gflops,

reverted back to default settings today and ran IBT to getthese results

anyone care to offer advice quickly?

should i reseat cpu cooler? what tests can i do on my hdd, psu ram?

my HDD has also started clicking every so often (not every day) and yday by screen was flickering on and off for a few secconds.

Use this software:

The lines are the 3.3V,5V and 12V. If the lines deviate more than 5% from the indicated values when your CPU and/or GPU are under load then you have a problem.

I would also use Memtest to check if your RAM is the problem:

http://www.memtest.org/

I would also try Spybot and Ad-Aware to check for any spyware on your computer.

voltages hardly increased, no where near 5%

unable to see voltage for gpu with that program just shows temps

memmroy testo program won't open on windows 7 :S
