Reformatting and reinstalling will fix many problems . Operating system
freezing
is very hard to pinpoint the cause. If it is hardware related reinstalling
will not help. The process of elimination is your next step. If the cause is
third part software , remove it and see if it still freezes . The easiest
way would be to reformat and work only with the operating system and default
video drivers and wait and see. Replace software one by one and check for
dependability each time. On the hardware side I would guess memory modules ,
processor or power supply. This would have to be done by swapping out the
components one by one. Have you tried to run for a extended period of time
in safe mode ? Try this and post back if more ideas are needed. Good Luck ,
Jym
