My computer is randomly freezing or restarting while playing games. I tried going to vista to see if it was my XP install not liking my dual-core system, but I'm still having the same problem. When it freezes there is a static sound from my speakers. I have tried disabling my on-board sound but it still froze up. My temps are well within safe ranges during load. All my components except my HD are under 3 months old and the Hard drive is only about 2 years old.
