Howdy.

I've a fan of the site for awhile and I often come here when I have a problem but this time I'm afraid I'm not gonna find my answers in someone else's thread. As I described in the title my computor freezes very often, it freeze's most often when I try to use 3ds Max.

I have checking in my event viewer and I have afew errors although none of them led me to a possible fix. Any steps I can take to try and narrow down the problem would be appreciated.

I forgot to add my spec:

AMD FX-4170 (Zambezi)

Asus M5A97 LE R2.0

Patriot DDR3 3x2

Radeon HD 6850 Toxic

Seagate 1TB 3.5 inch 7200RPM 64MB Cache SATA3 Hard Drive


Aside from that I went back to Asus to check for any new Bios for my MB and I seen alittle option in there where I could choose which CPU I was using after I chose mine it sent me to a bios download page and the version was newer than mine. I flashed it and so far so good, hopefully it done the job I'll update with any more news.
