I've been having problems with my computer recently where every 20-40 minutes my computer will freeze up and it can take anywhere from 30 seconds to three minutes to unfreeze again.
I first thought it might be the graphics card as sometimes the ATI drivers would show that they stopped working but were recovered however I then updated the software and that message has not shown up since.
I then thought it could be my temperatures but during a Intel stress test the highest temperature I got was 68*c (154*f) and that was when the CPU was at 100% load.
I then thought maybe my graphics card was bad but I switched the card out for an older one I had and the problems still persist.
If I'm lucky I won't get a freeze for about an hour or two but that's rare and it mostly does freeze within the 20-40 minute time frame as I stated above.
Another thing is the sometimes during the freezes I can still hear the audio that I had running, be it the game or video or just music. This audio is however jumpy and in slow motion.
If anyone has anyway that they know could help I would really appreciate it. It really is annoying to be going about my daily tasks or relaxing playing a game or watching a video only to have it freeze on me.
My computer specs are:
Intel i5-2500k (CPU)
ASRock z77 Pro4 (Mobo)
ATI r7 260x (GPU)
Corsair 750M (PSU)
Windows 7 Home Premium
I apologize if I posted this in the wrong place but I am not sure where I should post it.
