[QUOTE="RoboMan, post: 777884, member: 53544"] Argh... This been happening for a while, no matter what security software I have. I used to play lots of games. For example League of Legends, which never gave me any issues. Nevertheless I have lots of games bought of Steam, and specifically this ones give me trouble.. I don't know if it's because they demand for graphic power or what. Problem: I start gaming and literally after 5-20 minutes the screen freezes, I hear a PRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR sound and then the sound goes away and the screen stays frozen. Must manually reboot. I can't game long. [B][U]Hardware: (it's a laptop.
