    Default Comp freezes after 3 mins playing

    Here is the deal:

    -After the games load i have bout 2~3 mins till games and everything freezes.
    -Sometimes i get a pre-freeze, stops for bout 10 seconds then i got the real freeze, at this moment i alt+f4.
    -Funny fact: if music is playing, the music keeps playing but the mouse, keyboard and everything besides music, freezes.


    This thing only happens with DDO. Sadly

    dxdiag:

    You should attach the entire DXdiag in a code block.

    I would make the page file min and max sizes the same; I would choose 3072 MB--double that if you edit large images. (unlikely related to your issue)

    What other 3D games do you run?

    Are all vents, heat-sinks, fans clean?

    What make/model power supply do you have?

    Assuming you followed Turbine's troubleshooting steps, I would try, in order:

    If you are overclocked, run at stock speeds for a while. (Note: if properly overclocked, its almost never an issue but if you're running near threshold and on aging components...)
    Close all unnecessary processes, bloatware; use MSCONFIG to temporarily disable extraneous startup processes; reboot. Excessive Anti-Spyware programs fall under this category. (meaning, choose ONE reliable HIDS program to run real-time; I like Comodo, AVG, or Avast!)
    Run memtest86+ for at least one full pass (unlikely the issue but to be sure...)
    Run chkdsk /f for each drive.
    Run a CPU stability test for 5+ mins, see if it passes.
    Run a GPU test as well.
    Uninstall DDO; restart PC; clean temp dirs; re-download/re-install DDO. (I like the program, Advanced Uninstaller Free)
    If still no luck, underclock; your CPU or GPU may be aged. (rare, but it happens; unlikely if they passed long stability tests)
    Find a shaman to remove the bad juju OR do a backup of anything you don't want to lose, re-format/re-install Windows, everything else.
