Computer keeps freezing help!!!!

by Hp561 Jul 5, 2015 2:29PM PDT

After some time using my computer, it'll freeze. I thought I had out dated drivers but I didn't. I then thought that the graphics card was defect so I replaced it with a different begins card and it still froze. Then I thought it was a ram issue so I took out one ram stick and kept the other one in and it still froze. Then I thought it was the SSD so I unplugged the SSD and reinstalled windows on hard drive and it still froze. I don't know what the problem could be and I'm freaking out.

Have you checked the temperatures?
by wpgwpg Jul 5, 2015 2:50PM PDT

If things get too hot, you can get into the old "unpredictable results" situation. Certainly if you're getting over 70 degrees C, there's likely a problem there.
