[QUOTE="JAZ, post: 382483, member: 15"] Those symptoms sound like either a ram, power supply or cpu overheating problem, restart your PC & press delete to get into the bios. Once in find the page that lists your temps & voltages, leave it a minute or two then make a note of the cpu temp, if its high (60c+) perhaps you should buy a decent heatsink/fan (your pc is a beast & deserves a good one). If the temps are ok then I would say its prob faulty ram or an overstressed power supply, firstly download memtest86 & put it on a floppy or cd & reboot & run it (auto runs from dos) it takes a while to complete fully but if after half hour or so it hasnt produced any errors your ram is prob ok, however if it gives even one error then remove a stick of ram & re-run the test to see which stick of the ram is causing the problem & replace as needed. If it passes the test then what is your power supply make & power rating? If its a cheap or underpowered one then you should try to borrow a decent high powered replacement & see if it solves the problem. I'm not completely sure what the problem is though as freezing tends to point to bad ram but rebooting could be ram or cpu. [url]http://www.memtest86.com/[/url] [/QUOTE]
