I'm having a hell of a problem... Recently, my
computer has started freezing when I play videos, I can't find any reason why..... It will play for a random amount of time, and then the sound hiccups for a second, and bam. Complete lockup. Even the mouse won't work. You might as well take a picture of the Desktop and tape it on the front of the monitor, because that's how unresponsive it is..... I can't think of anything that I've done that would have caused this, last night I cleaned out my case, suspecting dust choking, but to no avail. I've even done numerous system restores to times before this problem arose, no dice... I'm PRAYING it's not a hardware problem, because that would suck so hard.... The
computer doesn't freeze during 3D, or just during normal operation, but video playback freezes it 3/4ths of the time....
