(Not sure if this fits this section)
Current Setup
Motherboard: Gigabyte X58A-UD7
Processor: Intel i7 930 (overclocked to 3.7 with H100 water cooler)
Memory: 18GB
GPU: Gigabyte GTS250
HDD: 2*256 SSD (Raid 0 setup) + 1TB WD black edition
My computer has started freezing up now and then when I play videos online (mainly connected to instavideos and vine). I've zeroed it down to it being flash connected (since flash players make it crash most of the time) and disabling hardware acceleration hasn't helped. Reinstalled flash didn't help either so unless I'm mistaken I think the GPU is dying. My only doubt is that when I play Tribes Ascend (high quality at 1920*1200 resolution), I have zero issues. I haven't played any other game lately so can't compare but I've run COD, Battlefield, Dirt 3 and Crysis 2 on the machine earlier with no issues (even if not at full quality).
So is it GPU and if yes, what do I upgrade to? (I use adobe software on a daily basis while I'd call myself a casual gamer)
Thanks in advance
