    So, I have been having some weird issues with my computer lately. Every now and then, I assume my computer just freezes and locks up. My mouse and keyboard appear to not respond either. Anyone else been having a similar issue?

    I wonder if there was any recent windows updates that might be causing this.

    Some system specs
    Windows 7 Home Premium (32-BIT)
    AMD Phenom II X4 965 (3.40GHZ)
    4 GB RAM
    Asus Radeon R9 270X (2GB)

    Does this occur when you are browsing the web or in game?

    That's usually a hardware issue, check your CPU temperature make sure it doesn't get too hot. If so clean the cooler, sometimes dust gets in there which blocks the airflow.

    It seems to happen when my computer is just sitting idle. Its rare though, so I couldn't tell you what could be the cause. My case is pretty cool on the inside, so I don't think its getting hot in there, and it doesn't seem dusty. I have 2 hard drives that are both HDD.
