    Random Freezes

    Completely randomly while i am doing anything on my pc is freezes for about 3 seconds - if there is sound playing then this skipps during those 3 seconds.

    Also occasionally it completely freezes and i have to reboot.

    Any ideas - im gesssing its probably a driver issue.

    I have taken off my overclocks with to no avail.

    I run MCE 2005 on a DFI ULTRA-D (nforce-4 ultra) and did not install the Nvidia IDE drivers.

    Also this has been a problem since i installled MCE last week.

    Probably worth running again to be on the safe side - it's not unknown for it to go bad over time (i.e. a fault develops).
