Hello Sometimes when windows starts up for the first time (In a day), or when I've used it for some hours: It freezes up after a flashing, flickering screen. It stays flickering and does not respond to anything. Only hard reset can "fix" it. Do you guys have any idea what that could be? I searched my PC for viruses to find none with avast and other searching online scanners. Thanks a lot in advance. P.S.My video card is not old.
