What is happening-I will be doing random things such as playing a game or browsing the web or things like that. The screen will freeze and the entire system locks up. At first I thought it was the ram so i replaced it to what i have right now. The problem was still there. I then thought it was my processor. I sent it away using my warranty and had a new one sent to me. The problem was still there. I have no clue what it is. I would really like some help on figuring it out and getting my machine running at tip top shape.

Yes, your CPU is more than 140W, so will need a different MB. Thanks for the followup.
