    Hi everyone, I am having the very annoying issue with my computer. It only seems to occur while playing games. The computer freezes all of a sudden. The screen freeze's and I can't control anything. There is also a buzzing sound when the computer freezes. I went into 'Event Viewer' and found the critical error.

    These are the details:

    Is this a desktop or laptop ? this is normally an over heating error from the processor, If it is a desktop, open up the case and check the cpu fan, make sure it is still spinning when running..

    This is a desktop. The CPU temperature is fine. On idle, it says around 37*C. When playing games, it goes up to about 55*C. I cleaned out the computer with an air compressor yesterday and so far the computer hasn't frozen. Hopefully the dust is the cause and it shouldn't freeze again. I will wait a couple more days and see what happens.
