I tried looking for a good forum area to put this in, but I didn't know which one was best.
Doing What?: Playing a game/watching youtube/listening to pandora
Not at the same time, separately. Most recent was having Pandora running while I was doing HW =\.
Symptoms: Frozen screen, screen looks normal, no artifacts, just frozen. Speakers go off for about 10 seconds of constant noise, like a loud BZZZ, then turns off. Screen still frozen.
What I do?: Tried CTRL + Alt + DEL, nothing pops up. So I hit the manual reset button on the tower. Solves the issue.
I have HWMonitor open, I don't see any temperatures out of range.
Windows 7 Ultimate 64Bit
AMD X4970 slight OC
RAM 8GB Gskill
eVGA 560TI SC, no OC. Updated Drivers
I've had the computer for a couple of years, dust is cleaned out on a normal basis. Don't really see anything of issue there. I went from a ATI5770 to the 560 about 6 months ago. Before that, this freeze has never occurred before.
