Hey everyone,
So i'm having a problem where my computer freezes when I watch mainly you tube. It doesn't happen all the time though. I have played games for hours and no crash, but right after I go to watch something on you tube and the 5 minutes in it crashes and the only way to get out is to hold down the power button. I just built my computer last week and am fairly new to it. It also crashed once while playing a video on steam, both are flash based. Most people in the forums say that crashes are mainly due to memory issues. I haven't run memtest86 yet, but I ran the basic memory test that comes on windows 7 and it came up with no errors. I also thought re installing the video driver might be a good idea, but I don't want to make it worse, because its only videos right now. I use HWmonitor to check my temps and they all seem fine, nothing has gotten above 60 under load so i dont think that is the issue. I have had no issues besides while streaming video which seems weird to me. Any help would be appreciated THANKS!
system specs:
intel i7 - 3820
gigabyte UD3 motherboard lga 2011
gigabyte Radeon 7850
16Gb Gskill RipJaws Z (4X4) 2133 - (It does it in xmp profile 1 which it is supposed to be used in and in the standard preset setting)
CM 800 watt silent pro gold
and I have a normal disk drive and HDD
