So, my question is: What possible causes, and solutions, can the computer-wise on this forum suggest to my problem?
I think that your computer locks up due to overheating [img]smile.gif[/img] Thats one of the main reasons for computer crashes. You could use a good heatsink and an extra fan or to, perhaps taking the computer cover off will help too
