    Hi everyone,

    My name is Tyler and I just thought I would introduce myself since I've been getting a lot of help from some members with my computer issues.

    I've had computers around since 2000 and since the first day I've been in love with them. I just recently built my 'dream' PC with a limited budget. The Specs are in my profile, I was able to build it for roughly $1,100 with a killer corsair case. I would love more it if only I could get it to stay on without freezing every 45 minutes! But alas, sometimes it is too much to ask for everything to go smoothly on a computer build!

    Anyway, I'm 21, in college and have a variety of hobbies including mountain biking, playing video games, playing Magic the Gathering, hiking, photography, and any DIY project that allows me to use power tools. Woodworking especially.

    I'm not that technology savvy when it comes down to the finer specifics of how an operating system works, but I know more than the average person. I cannot wait to learn more about windows based computers and hopefully be able to help others while I'm here.

    Hi Rhamza, Greetings. If you want to know Exactly what is in your comp.you can install SIW or Everest.
    If your comp is "Freezing" I've got ask whether you have 'overclocked'???
    This may lead to unstable CPU or have you got sufficient cooling? Cheers Neil.

    Thank you for the greeting and the information, I'll be sure to download SIW and see if it collects any good information. I've already tried a lot of different diagnostic tests, maybe this will pick something that windows has missed.

    At first I overclocked my video card, but I made sure that I was running well below 80C on the GPU and CPU. When I did a clean install of windows a week ago I have not done any overclocking at all.
