My computer has frozen twice in the last hour.
1st i was just on the forum with some music on...
2nd i alt+tabbed out of CS just after i has started it up (still not in-game), alt+tabbed back in to start a game and it froze again


I gave the whole thing a good hoovering....reckong it might be overheating...there was a lot of dust. :P
How do i check the temps on my comp??

it may at worst be a graphics card fault

do you experience any of the following?

The monitor turns off after freezing / locking up

monitor flicks from a black screen to desktop in a very fast loop

if not.. make sure all the dust is gone, and also check temperatures.
then see how you have gone on

also by screen freezing... do you mean O/S isn't responding?

Hoovering the inside of a PC ain't a good idea, the air flow creates big static charges on the components.
