My e9180f freezes or locks-up!

‎09-20-2009 11:31 AM

I have a e9180f that freezes when I play music or video.  I have the Realtek HD Audio card.  I think the sound card or the NVIDIA GTS250 video card may be the problem but I need an expert opinion.  When I start playing music through iTunes, it sounds fine for the first few minutes then the speakers start to crackle, then popping, and then freezing-up all within a few minutes.  It's the same when playing a DVD.  The hard drive light still shows activity, but the monitor shows it's frozen, no mouse or keyboard action.  The computer works fine if I don't play sound or video.

gmillerl44:  Welcome to the club!  Checkout the e9150T freeze thread on this board.  There are 18 freezing 9180t's in there too!

 

You said, "The computer works fine if I don't play sound or video"  Are you sure?   For example,  playing a slide show in media player won't freeze for you?
