Hey guys,
So I have had my custom rig for 3 years now and have never once had a problem with it until just recently. It locks up (screen freezes) and if sounds is playing it will loop. When it initially began to happen it would recover after ~10 seconds but it it progressively getting worst and has began to no longer recover. I just reformatted my comp and it continues to do it so i'm assuming its hardware. It happens mostly when I am playing starcraft 2 but happens while im surfing the web and doing other things. I ran memtest and let it run 4 cycles and it found no errors so i've moved on to Prime95. While running Prime95 the comp has crashed twice. Its running in the hybrid mode so its testing everything but it crashes at about 90 mins. No error messages or logs so im not really sure why it is. I'm assuming its either ram or cpu dying on me.
Any help would be much appreciated,
Lindsay
