I have been having issues with my computer "dead locking" up. The monitors would go blank as if they had no input, sound would freeze and play in a loop, keyboard would not respond to caps lock on/off or anything. Recently I moved my graphics card to the other slot and now The computer freezes in the same way except the monitors stay on.

This happens randomly(idling,gaming,web browsing).. Sometimes I swear it does it right after I get up from my chair or right before i sit down (as i move by the computer).

I have reformatted with no effect.

Any suggestions or thoughts at what the problem could be?
