Hi guys I am facing some problems with my PC, it sometimes freezes/hangs and if i have sound playing it will buzz or become distorted for a few seconds. Then it will be normal again, this occurs randomly from watching video to gaming.

I've searched google for solutions and some say that updating the BIOS will solve it.

Now I have trouble finding the correct BIOS update, I've tried many times to update but the ones that used to update for not compatible with the current version of the BIOS. So i need help in finding the correct update for my BIOS.

Currently using a ACER-PREDATOR G3600
BIOS BRAND: American Megatrends Inc.
Version: P01-A3
Date: 02/18/2011

Cheers !

Since this is an off-the-shelf, store bought computer, the last thing you should be thinking of doing is updating the BIOS.

Only if you've made significant hardware upgrades (replaced the CPU/Motherboard) should you even be considering updating the BIOS. Your problems probably come from a failed driver installation or your system just needs a fresh installation of Windows.
