    Game freezes in most games

    I forgot to mention the following:-

    -The freezes still display what was happening at the time of the freeze e.g. not a blank screen.

    - I cannot alt-tab, control-alt-del or escape in any other fashion, but when I hold control-alt-del during the freeze, when the freeze concludes I am then displayed the [security options?] screen.

    Freezing?

    It seems to happen often, about once a day, but my computer literally freezes. I try to alt+tab, ctrl+alt+delete, but nothing. I am force to shut it down manually by holding the power button down. What could be the culprit for this? Let me know what information I can provide *Smile why does this happen (things freeze and alt+tab freezes) :)

    why does this happen (things freeze and alt+tab freezes)

    Windows 7 freezes for 1 minute

    I am able to move the mouse smoothly as normal (but can't click on anything, and it shows as the 'waiting' icon, the blue circle with the white highlight moving about).

    Things move on the screen...as I said the video in a Messenger video call continues to stream as normal most of the time a freeze is occurring (though not every time).

    I can't alt-tab or ctrl-alt-del. If I hit ctrl-alt-del nothing will happen, but as soon as the freeze ends it will remember that I hit that and the ctrl-alt-del menu appears.
