I have a Dell XPS 630i which I bought in Jan 2010. I only upgraded the OS to Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. The problem with my pc is that anytime I try to play a game, after about an hour or two of playing a game (WoW/StarCraft/ and now Diablo 3), pc would freeze and I have to manually reboot the machine. Recently I had read an article in Maximum PC about upgrading this particular Dell XPS machine and pretty much replaced everything inside the pc except for the case.
Do you think it makes sense to use the case but replace everything inside or just upgrading graphics card should be sufficient?
Currently CPU is Q9550, 2.83, 12MB Yorkfield
Graphics card is 9800GT 1 GB SLI
Or Am i better of scrapping the machine and just building a completely new one?
I have never built a pc in my life and don't mind trying to build one.
