Computer froze unexpectedly.

[Reddax]

Hello, a couple of minutes ago, my pc just froze, a constant noise on the speakers, unable to move my mouse, unable to ctrl + alt + delete or anything, completely locked up. The HDD indicater was also not flashing. Now, this computer is fairly new, just over a month old and has done this freezing thing 2 times now, in the space of a month, around 2 weeks apart. How is it possible to find out what the problem is?

What did you do when your pc froze?

[_ASSASSIN_]

if you are overclocking, it's the issue of too little voltage or too much heat, if you aren't overclocking, it still could be an issue with heat

My CPU temperature is around 60 with max load, i'm always monitoring it on my keyboard's screen. I'm not over clocking either. I was playing minecraft at the time, with around 50% cpu usage.

Unless it start happening often, don't worry about it, computers crash from time to time its just the way it is.
