I hate to drop this one on you guys but I've had no luck resolving this issue and can't find a single post that actually gets me any closer. Without further complaining here is the problem.
My computer has taken upon itself to randomly hard lock, as in display locks up, no cursor movement, no keyboard functions etc. And the speakers tend to repeat the last thing being played, albeit at a very fast speed. Just on the off chance I left it like this for 30 mins or so but it wasn't playing. Always have to hard reset.
So far I've run through....
Memtest - At least 4 passes without error.
Heat test - Gpu's, cpu etc. None of which get higher than 60 degrees...which surprised me.
Prime95 - Left the torture test running for a long while. Again flying colors.
Registry Clean - Done to the best of my meagre knowledge, although I feel like I've done more harm than good.
Drivers - All up to date, least they should be by now.
Guess I should really post my system specs for scrutiny....

Hardly any lock ups when idle, online etc. Occassionally with movies. Constantly with games.
Thanks for any help in advance. And if this has already been solved and I've missed the post then I am sorry for wasting time.
