Help my computer Freezes

The bit about the broken sound and broken lines at the top of the screen seems similar to a fault I had to fix a while ago.
The fault usually only happened wih heavy graphics use too.

Updating the video driver *and* the sound driver fixed the problem.

to rule out possibilities, try another psu on your system. Since your symptoms seem to be very vague, its probably a good idea to start testing your harware to narrow down possible causes.

Ok, I tried replacing the mobo, the problem still persisted but after trying changing Processors i found that the computer no longer freezes. So i guess the CPU was the problem, I am now awaiting for another 3800+ to come in. I think this computers freezing days are over, so thnx guys for the suggestions. =D
