I have a computer that often freezes after the loading screen of a game or while using a cg-program or a video editing program or while watching a video. The screen and the sound freezes. Sometimes only the screen freezes, but i can still hear and speak on teamspeak.
Every time i have to shut down the computer by pushing the power button for 10 seconds.
I think the problem is the graphics card, because she gets very hot, and if i clean the heat sink, the computer do not freeze for 1-2 days.
A week ago i have changed the cooling paste, but the computer began freezing again after only 2 days
I have updated the graphicscard drivers, but every update i made the problem got worse
My specs are:
Packard Bell ixtreme M5720
Graphics: 1024 MB Nvidia Geforce GT220 (Sapphire/PCPartner)
Power supply: coolermaster B700 700W (previously 250W)
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400 @2.66 GHz
Motherboard: Packard Bell EG43M
I have bought this pc 2009 and i've noticed this problem happening regularly since june-july 2013
