I am not sure it is the graphics card, its just because it first happened in the middle of a game. I am going to change the settings as you have suggested and see how it goes. Any suggestions on how to tell whether it's the hard drive? My usual method of instinct did not detect any problem, neither did the diagnostics detect hard disk issues. Thank you.

High chance your hard drive could be faulty too, sometimes Disk I/O problems can cause freezes. Graphic card? maybe not. If you sure its your graphic card then change your settings to triple buffering or overlap in the openGL panel but like I said i doubt its your graphic card seeing working on mail would not use hardware acceleration.

Hello,
My 1-month old Toshiba Satellite A665-S6065 laptop has been acting up, and I have so far not been able to identify the problem. It first froze while playing FIFA, I had to force it off. I thought it had something to do with the game and the graphics, so I uninstalled the game after the 4th time. Then it froze even when typing email, then when doing other ordinary tasks. I have done virus scans with a number of AVs, done diagnostics and everything else I could think about.
Does anyone have an idea what could cause this random freezing? Or is there a known issue with this particular model or graphics card? I have a feeling am missing something but I don't know what...
Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you.
