Hello!
My computer is getting an increased amount of random freeze-ups. A month ago, let's say, I had only had one - maybe even had none. But today in the last two hours I've had two.
The mouse freezes, all sound goes away for awhile but then return. I can't do anything beyond that point but hard boot the machine.
Now, I've had problems with my video card for a while - maybe a year or so already. Sometimes when under stress of gaming or streaming YouTube my screen would go blank and then it would return. I'd get an error something along "Kernel version 3xx.xx has stopped working but was restored". So, there is definitely something wrong with it. The thing is that these random freezes seem to have no correlation between the video card being stressed and the freezing. Also, these freezes have become more frequent, whereas the blank screen thing has been the same if not even gone for the better.
I did run Memory Diagnostic Tool for Windows and it found nothing so it shouldn't be RAM.
Do you guys still think it's the video card? What could I try here?
Thanks in advance!
