Either just privately running it, usually at night (in low light) or trying to run a webcam in MSN messenger.
If it DOES work, it freezes shortly thereafter or when I try to open another program like Windows Media Player.
I can still use the mouse and close other programs, but MSN messenger does not respond and ctrl+alt+delete end tasks do nothing. I cannot turn off/restart/etc either.
Do I need more RAM (256), is my system overheating (I have 1 small fan on graphics card, small fan on mobo, and 1-2 small case fans), or do you smell software problems?
