Okay. This problem has been going on for over a year now and I've struggled with it way too much. My computer will freeze whenever I do anything that involves sound or video (music, youtube, video games). I can surf the net and these forums as long as I wanna without it freezing, but if there is a video or music for a short period of time it freezes!!!! It usually doesn't last long, maybe 2-5 minutes, before it will lock up where I must manually shut down my comp and I can't even get to the task manager. I try to do all kinds of virus scans and ad-aware but it will freeze on that too (but I 100% know it's not because of this so you don't need to bring that up, I keep my PC clean and safe as anything). I've tried EVERYTHING such as reformatting, cleaning inside my tower like the dust, removing my speaker plug and so much more. I've searched everywhere but I can never find a correct answer. I've talked to my parents friends who are computer techies (which I will probably go to if someone here cannot help me) who said to try unplugging my mouse because that might be a problem, and it still froze without a mouse plugged in. I have all dx updates, windows updates, gfx card updates, blah blah blah. It's getting to the point where I really will pay anyone and anything to get this thing fixed. ALL HELP IS APPRECIATED!!! It's very frustrating trying to game when you can only play for 5 minutes, restart and load the game which takes about 1-1.5 minutes, and repeat. Try doing that for about 1 to almost 1.5 years, it SUCKS. Please HELP ALL YOU CAN!!! TY!
