hello friends. About 3 years back, i bought a PC from TESCO, a Philips IQon. my problem is that sometimes my computer completely freezes up so i cant move my mouse, and my sound when i am gaming or playing music stutters really fast, so i have to reset my computer. this happens most when i am playing games (espescially L4D), but sometimes when i am doing simple tasks like browsing the net.
i have had this problem a few years now. over the years i have added to my computer - including 8800gt + new PSU (500w antec basiq) then upgraded to 4850, and also 2gb of ddr ram from 1gb.
the extra weird thing is that when i bought it, my brother bought exactly the same one, and about a year ago when i bought my 8800gt, i had issues with installing it. therefore my brother and i switched our hard rives round and i was then using his computer with my hd. the issues did not stop so i had to reinstall windows. however even after switching PCs with my brother the freezing did not stop. i never had time to switch back, so i am still using his now. i really dont know what the problem is. can you help me. for the last three years of my life its been a nightmare.
specs - Philips IQon
athlon 64 3200+ 939, EQS (PCPartner) mobo
OCZ Platimum 2gb ram
ATi HD 4850
new 500gb sata drive (bought recently)
antec basiq 500w PSU
EDIT: the new RAM and new HD were both bought just before this christmas
