I have an Asus running on Vista and just recently it it has been freezing up quite frequently and I have no idea why. It seems to happen the most when my screen saver has been on for a while. It freezes to the point where the only way I can restart it is to unplug it. It also froze up a bunch last night while trying to watch an MP4. Could it could possibly be a video card issue since I have it connected to my TV via hdmi? I still don't understand why it started happening just now though. I have checked my drivers and they all seem to be up to date with no exclamations. There are no new programs running at startup and I've updated windows. I also ran virus scans so I don't believe thats an issue. Anyone got any clues?
Couple other things that may be noteworthy but are nothing new to before this started happening:
-I have an external usb mouse connected
-I run mozzila thunderbird with a minimize to tray add-on
-Ive tried switching screen savers but it doesn't seem to matter which one...I only have the windows default savers installed
-It usually happens when I move the mouse after being away for awhile and saver is running
