games freezing

[LabR@t]

All my games have started to freeze up randomly after a few mins, sometimes they free themselves for abit sometimes not. I have not changed anything so up lost as to what it can be.

Although checking event viewer I came across loads of these errors.

Is the HD or DVDRW going to fail or is it something else?

\Device\Ide\IdePort3, is that DVDRW OR HD?

Event ID 11 is a fairly generic error linked to drive controllers. Would need more info on your hardware set up to be of any help.

Does the freezing only occur when playing games? If so, I wonder if it's a heat issue... how's your cooling in your PC?
