My computer is freezing only in games. It can browse the web fine for days on end. Whereas online 3D games, especially regions of MMOs with a lot of objects and mods of RTS with a lot of objects, can freeze it. I can tell the freeze is coming because the game slows down greatly for a minute or more first. Unlike typical game slow downs my mouse continues to move at full speed. If I alt tab out of the game I can do other things on my computer without any slowdowns or hiccups. Voltages don't vary and temps are fine even during the slowdown. Temps may even be a bit lower than the maximum logged temp. I still had 1 GB of RAM free on the last slowdown. It doesn't blue screen it just freezes: display stays, cursor frozen, numlock frozen, sound on repeat.
Prime95 stress test came out fine. Memtest86 came out fine. No crash log recorded.
Mobo: Gigabyte 78LMT-S2P
Video: ATI Radeon HD 5830
CPU: AMD Phenom II X6 1045T
RAM: 4 GB brand name. I'll check the brand later when I open my case.
PSU: High wattage and my components don't use much. I'll check the specifics later.
Any ideas what this could be? Please no guesses. I googled a lot of threads like this where they tell the poster to buy several pieces of expensive hardware, wipe his system and it still didn't get better until he replaced his system completely. Or if he found a solution, it was something trivial to fix that didn't require all that. So please please no random guesses you're diluting the real answers. "Probably" is fine and I won't hold it against you if you're wrong, but no shots in the dark.
