Single box freezing issue. New computer

For me when I had lockups, all was DX11. My machine was locking up every 30 minutes or so, when I moved to DX9 I stopped having any crashes. My machine was a fill hard lock, only way to get machine to respond was a hard reset.

A good practice for any gamer is to make sure you have updated graphics card drivers for one, also make sure to download and install C++ runtime redistributable from microsoft and .Net 4.0 If you are still having the issues after that I would personally try setting them all to directX9 or even installing an earlier driver for your graphics card.

At one point I had a random window freezing.

I had a specific motherboard, cpu and video card configuration.
A different boxer, with those same three component types had the same issue.
People with two of those, did not have the issue.

It was the last ATI card I've had, as the Nvidia ones have been fine.
Not saying Nvidia is superior, just that they work... and that was the reason for the switch.

It was whatever motherboard I was using.
And a Q6600 processor.
With whatever ATI card was the top, when Nvidia had GTX 275/285s as their top cards.
I switched to the 275 and the issue went away.

Not sure if this is helping or not.
But if you have spare components, you can rule out a video card or whatever... even if the tester card is not something you'd want to play with long term.
