Hi! I didn't know where to post, so sorry if this wasn't the intended place or forum for it. Here it goes:
I've bought a Phenom 3x 2GB 250GB for my girl. It works great but there is this freezing mystery. Once a day or less often it will freeze, messing up the screen and stopping completely.
It's not the screen only because music stops, and with no HDD noise whatsoever as it was on some starvation status.
I've already memtested it on 7 passes and there are no memory errors. Hardware ought to be compatible as the PC works fine 99% of the time. All hardware listing on System Information checks out to reality (what I've bought), and there are no explicit driver issues at Driver Administrator (or w/e it's called since I have Spanish version).
Some more context:
-Windows XP SP2
-Memory is "Supertalent", the cheapest I've found, 2GB 800 Mhz
-My mother, also the cheapest I could find, said to work very well: GeForce6100PM-M2, I'd give you the link but I'm not allowed
My question would be: what's the most likely cause of the freezes? What should I do about it?
One last thing
We have noticed that most curiously it has always freezed while using Google Chrome, that's not to say that's the cause, maybe that program makes intense use of some feature which the PC has problem with, or maybe just coincidence.
Thanks a lot in advance!
