Hi Relyt,

What are your system and CPU temperatures now?

Do you notice your room lights flickering, going dim? having any problems with your TV? It is posssible that your power supply company is having problems. A surge protector does not protect you against "brown outs" which is when the current drops.

You might like to download a memory checker and see if the RAM is OK, also get the diagnostics tools for your HDD and run those. As I said, I would expect boot problems or crashes, rather than freeze ups, but you might as well eliminate the possibilities if you can.

Good luck
