Windows 7 64bit home premium Randomly Freezes
My pc: AMD Black Edition Phenon II x4 965 3.46 ghz Asus M4A79T Deluxe MB [AM3] Corsair Dominator 1600MHz Triple Channel DDR3 4 GB ram total XFX HD 4890 1gb x2 running in crossfire mode 850w psu V8 cool master processor fan 1TB hitachi HD Bad freeze problem with windows7 64 os will freeze with in a few mins to several hours. After many weeks of dealing with random freezes especially when i run a game like WoW or w/e. I had to do a hard reset and strangely she is fix for the day till i turn my pc off, I had finally found something that worked for me I had to disable my screen saver and wolla no more freezes. I think this is a issue with Microsoft and not hardware, but indeed a bug! Btw OS was a clean install straight to partition. So when is Microsoft going to fix this annoying bug? I shouldn't have to disable my screen saver in order for my pc to work normally. So basically what im asking is there a known bug when screen saver is enabled and how to fix this

Hello, There seems no known bug of screensaver on Windows 7. I think the problem may be caused by hardware issue. First of all, you need to make your hardware drivers up to date. Go to your computer vender’s official website and download the latest version of driver(especially display card, chip set). For Asus M4A79T Deluxe( Updated 3/3/2010) http://www.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=lhJiLTN5huPfCVkW Phenom IIX4 965 (HDZ965FBK4DGM),3.4GHz,125W,rev.C3,SocketAM3,Quad-Core 2002Phenom IIX4 965 (HDZ965FBK4DGI),3.4GHz,140W,rev.C2,SocketAM3,Quad-Core 1303 For your display card:http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_catalyst.aspx?p=win7/windows-7-64bit Also you can use Windows Update to automatically update. (Start -> All Programs-> Windows Update-> Check online for updates from Microsoft Update) Meanwhile I recommend you to run Clean Boot. This method will help us determine if this issue is caused by a loading program or service. Please perform the following steps: 1. Click the Start Button type "msconfig" (without quotation marks) in the Start Search box, and then press Enter. Note: If prompted, please click Continue on the User Account Control (UAC) window.2. Click the "Services" tab, check the "Hide All Microsoft Services" box and click "Disable All" (if it is not gray). 3. Click the "Startup" tab, click "Disable All" and click "OK".4. Restart the computer. When the "System Configuration Utility" window appears, please check the "Don't show this message or launch the System Configuration Utility when Windows starts" box and click OK. Please test this issue in the Clean Boot environment, if the issue disappears in the Clean Boot environment, we can use a 50/50 approach to quickly narrow down which entry is causing the issue. Please let me know the result and hope it will help you!
