Hardware problem and windows problem all in one

Boggin:
I'm wary of beta anything but if that's caused an improvement.....

I'm not that deep into hardware but the idle temps look okay as they are well below 50.

Here are a couple of calculators to determine if the PSU you are using is up to the job - a failing PSU can also cause problems when it is over taxed.

However, if the PSU was going bad then Furmark and Prime95 would crash the computer, so the existing freeze could be a pointer to that.

Just as an Edit to this, you may find SpeedFan useful if the GPU fan speed isn't auto increasing and causing the freeze as it will increase it for you.

Those video temps look much much better.

How has the system been since you got the temps down?
