Windows 7 keeps freezing!

elevate · 3 May 2011 at 12:24

Hi All,

Over the last few months this has become more and more common - sometimes it can go over a week without, sometimes not even a minute - sometimes the computer wont even boot.

The screen/mouse just freeze, as does the sound.

My specs are;
Windows 7 Ultimate 64Bit,
Intel Core i7 920 2.66Ghz
OCZ 6GB DDR3 PC3-10666C9 Gold Low-Voltage Triple Channel Kit
GeForce GTX260 896MB

(Purchased from OC).

I've just written this message in 'safe mode' and it seems stable - any ideas?

Cheers,
Sam

Hi,

I'm not sure - I'll try find out.

Usually after the computer freezes, the next few times I try and turn it on the fan comes on at full speed and nothing else happens.

I'll check those tonight, thank you!

How is the easiest way to update the bios would you say? Cheers.

Not the RAM.

How do I test the GX card?

My results from heaven benchmark - at the risk of sounding a noob, does this mean my GX card is fine?

Also (as above), my binary is 32bit - is that right? :s

Cheers,
Sam

PSU - I'm still trying to get a multi reader. I'll check that when I can get a stable boot cheers.

I know, but like I said I don't have the equipment yet so I may as well test what I can
