Hi. I have recently been experiencing a problem with my computer freezing and rebooting in game. I dont BELIEVE it is a software issue as i have reformatted and it is still doing it.
I have done the usual checks for spyware and viruses ( i have NOD32). I dont think it is overheating with the amount of ventilation in my case.
Its just occasionaly all of a sudden, my sound joggs and goes black then reboots, any ideas?
Is anything OCed? Have you tried "fail safe defaults" etc? Have you tried latest bios and drivers for your board? latest drivers for your card? What are your temps? It would help to have a little more information....
In my experiance game lock-ups are due to heat issues or somethinb being clocked too high.
