	Log in to remove this sponsored message Hey there! A while back (about 3 weeks ago) My PC started freezing whenever I played games, I would get about fifteen minutes to an hour of gameplay before my PC just froze, couldn't do a thing, earlier today it did the same thing on my desktop. Virus and spyware check came up clean, haven't been looking at anything dodgy on the net and I have a tonne of space on my PC. and it hasn't been bashed about. Any idea what's up? And more importantly how to fix it? ------------------- If life gives you lemons, eat the lemons raw and laugh as life looks at you in horror.

	Update your video card drivers. Also how old is your pc?

	Open the run command box and run dxdiag. Go into your graphics section and then just go to nvidia.com if its a Geforce or ati.com if its a Radeon. Choose the drivers tab and select whatever card you have, download and install.

	Sounds like an overheating problem. Reapply thermal paste to your heatstink for starters. Clean the dust out. Have good air circulation. ------------------- Asus P5B C2D e6320 4MB 1.86ghz @ 3.27ghz OCZ Plat Rev2 4x1GB DDR2 800 @ 934mhz HD4870 @ 830mhz/1000mhz Old School and Rock Stable
