So I'm having this computer problem where my screen will freeze up with whatever's on the screen and the audio will loop the past half a second or so. This has happened multiple (10ish?) times while playing various games and even a few times where I was simply web browsing. When I try rebooting, it seems like random luck if I actually get any screen output... The motherboard powers up, fans come on, the hard drive's on, but no output. My computer is about 3 years old aside from this new video card I got in the summer, and I haven't had any troubles before this card. So, I'm thinking it's the graphics card, although I guess it could potentially be the motherboard or PSU. I have the latest drivers for the video card and was considering updating my BIOS although I read that can be risky and it should be determined that the BIOS is positively the problem before updating it.
My specs:
Motherboard: ASUS Rampage Formula
CPU: Intel 2 Quad Q9550 2.83GHz
GPU: XFX Radeon 6870 1GB
RAM: Corsair Dominator 4GB DDR2
PSU: Corsair 750W
OS: Windows 7 64-bit
