I just recently got this computer and it is freezing at random times. When it does this, it gets a few pixelated squares of random colors that flash rapidly. Also, there is a long continuous high pitch sound coming from the computer when it does this (which only happened once). When I restart the computer manually, I notice that my wallpaper is now changed to a solid black color (this only happened twice).

I am on windows 7 32 bit.

I noticed when I was streaming a movie it froze much more frequently. It's a very fast computer I just don't know what the problem is... Nothing seems to be overheating at all. Thanks.

Brand new.

Return it.

[DurkMusic]

I had it shipped here... how much does it cost to ship back a computer?

[Broni]

Normally, since the computer is under warranty, computer maker should provide you with free shipping.
Call them.

Okay, I'll do that tomorrow. Thanks.

OK. Keep us posted

Hey I tried to use the HDMI (I was using VGA before) to see if that stopped the freezing... Well it works fine when my Xbox is hooked up to it but when my computer is hooked up through HDMI there is an inch off from both sides and a half inch on the top and bottom! The screen shrunk! It still says it's in 1080p though... what's going on? lol I am still sending it back I am just curious as to why this is happening.

Thanks.

Possibly some video card issue. It may be cause freezing as well.
