[QUOTE="Justin123, post: 1077503, member: 164134"] Alrighty - To be completely honest, I wasn't too sure where to post this, as this problem might either be something related with the hardware or software Please move this to the appropriate subforum if needed. I'll lay down my specs first: I own the 27 Inch Imac, 2 core duo with the Radeon HD 4670 graphics card 4gb ram. My problem in a nutshell, Running in Windows 7 via Bootcamp: a Experiencing freezing - mouse is still moveable, however anything open is unresponsive - control/alt/delete doesn't work. However If I wait it out, everything will start working again b Experiencing a total lockup, mouse isn't moveable, neither is anything responsive - needless to say control/alt/delete doesn't work either. Usually I'll walk away and return when I see the blue screen with the task manager options and whatnot is visable. Both a and b can be waited out, eventually the computer 'wakes up' and starts responding again after a while Usually the lockup occurs if I try to close programs down during the minor freeze. These freezes and lockups seem to occur most often when watching a flash video via my internet browser -usually as the video finishes, both mozilla firefox and internet explorer will do this often, though not every time. A lockup will undoubtably occur when srubbing through a video a few times when in fullscreen mode. The freezes are usually only last a couple of minutes, while the lockups are considerablly longer. Video codecs and stuff are fine, I know what I am doing when it comes to that Sometimes it'll just freeze up for a minute or two randomly [I]Problem[/I] [B]Freezing and lockups[/B] [I]Potential causes[/I] [B]Flash based stuff like youtube and facebook chat, Scrubbing through a fullscreen video [/B] EDIT: [I]The flash based freeze-ups happen a lot more frequently if the mac has been awakened from sleep mode.[/I] I haven't updated the graphics driver to the mobility one yet, as I would prefer not to unless I know it is the source of the problem. I'll happily go into more detail and whatever if needed Any thoughts on what is the cause? Hopefully mine isn't an isolated problem, and one that already has a solution. [/QUOTE]
