Sounds like a driver issue. It could also possibly be that you're experiencing overheating (probably of the video card), but I'd check the drivers, first.

Start -> Run

Type in "dxdiag" (without the quotes).

Click on the Display Tab. Driver info and version is listed on the upper right box.

I just updated the drivers, and it held off the problem for a little while, I have to keep alt tabbing every time i get in base or have a spare moment so it refreshes the pc, but it still freezes, i can even type and @#(! :/

Well, your drivers are outdated. The latest nVidia dirvers are 7.15.xx (a.k.a. Forceware 175.74). Try those.

Also, are you using the alpha build?
