I have a fresh installation of window xp, 500w power supply, 2gb ram, and 7900 video card, one hardrive and motherboard and 1.8 64bit amd cpu.

I use this computer as a htpc, for some reason after 2 hours of watching a movie with it on my 42" plasma tv. The computer all of a sudden freezes, the picture is still there jittering but nothing moves. The audio makes a loud buzzing noise. After restarting the computer it works fine again for another 2-3 hours.

What do you think could be the problem? CPU over heating, not enough power, corrupted ram?
