[QUOTE="goughy, post: 1035918, member: 111509"] Yeah, I've tried it in debug, and just as a bare bones setup. Got nothing. The problem is that when it freezes it's completely frozen, so no record of what is happening is recorded. I've got watchdog enabled, and when I've had issues with my tv series db it picks that up. But the freeze is everything, no mouse, no activity at all. Can't ctl alt del, nothing, and it will stay that way for days. Only long press of power or reset button gets it going.[DOUBLEPOST=1382651204][/DOUBLEPOST] Windows is recording nothing when it happens. I guess it's a complete freeze so it doesn't have time to record anything. I only use avg free, and have tried it with it uninstalled and it still happened. Same with windows firewall. My main os drive has been anywhere from 50% to 90% empty and still happened. My data drive is 50% empty. Someone suggested to me that a complete freeze like that, with no mouse activity at all (it was happening when mp gui was not running too) could be a video card.
