    I am running Windows 7. This problem started about three weeks ago. Occasionally the screen freezes and nothing will unfreeze it except a cold boot. Control-Alt-Delete does nothing.   Sometimes the screen goes black. At other times the screen shows an odd multicolour pattern.  Occasionally the computer crashes altogether.

    I can not seem to find any hardware problem. Sometimes the computer will run for several days with no difficulty. There is no sign of a virus. I have checked my C drive for problems and found nothing.

    I normally run Chrome and sometimes Chrome and Explorer at the same time.  Has anybody experienced this problem.

    Thanks very much.

    I'd be checking my video card & memory. Can you upload the dmp files so we can take a look at them? I'd also look at the power supply and see if it's getting hot.

    Hi,

    Firstly, please check the issue with the method below:

    Windows hangs or freezes

    Meanwhile, I think you need also to check the hardware side; please ensure all the drivers are up-to-date and you can also contact Gateway support for help.

    Thanks.
