Righty.
Something odd is happening with my comp.
Seemingly at random it will lock up. No BSOD, no wierd noises.
I can't alt-tab to anything, ctrl-alt-del doesn't work. Mouse still moves (sometimes).
Any ideas?
It's warm here, but not as hot as it was a couple of months ago, and I cleaned the fans and stuff back then.
Not getting artifacts either.
Wondering about the RAM, there's a test but I've forgotten the command (running 2k, people gave me the command in another thread ages ago but it didn't work.
edit:
OK, tried running a (large) video and I started getting artifacts, before I could close it, the screen blacked out.
Similar to when the GFX card overheated in the past, side is off and I'm going to have a look at it. On my parents comp atm.
