Like the topic says, my computer locks up temporarily when trying to run anything that involves 3d (games, apps, diag, etc). After freezing for a bit I'm finally able to task out and get back to the desktop, where it appears to be ok doing anything that's 2D. This started suddenly without any recent changes to the system, I've tried reinstalling det drivers and directx, I've re-seated the vid card, have run updated virus scan software and windows is up to date. Basically I've tried everything short of reinstalling windows or trying another vid card in the system. Any ideas of what it might be?
