My issue seems somewhat similar to the guy here http://www.techist.com/forums/f77/computer-freezes-games-bios-274875/#post2145025 but I didn't want to hi-jack his help. I was playing Diablo 3 a few nights back and when I used the in game "leave game" option everything froze. I could see my cursor but nothing responded. I tried to bring up the tast manager, but nothing. After waiting probably 15 minutes to see if it would resolve itself I decided to kill it at the PSU. I came back around three hours later and played again. Other than really high latency, which itself was unusual, everything worked fine until I went to leave the game. Same thing, frozen, wait wait wait, kill it. Last night I tried to play again and the entire PC was really sluggish starting and then it froze just after entering my password. I tried waiting etc. I can boot into the BIOS just fine. I tried to boot into safe mode and it wouldn't. I don't have anything of consequence on the machine so I decided to skip any backup steps and just try a clean install of Win7, but my mouse and keyboard wouldn't even interact with the installation menu. I think that narrative is exhaustive, so is there something that I am obviously doing wrong? Did the hard reset possibly break something? Any advice on where to start looking would, as always, be greatly appreciated.
