Hi Minochimera,
You might want to check your event viewer then to see if there are
any system or application errors which could be causing the issue:
START > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Event Viever.

|| Hi Minochimera,
||
|| I'm not aware of the 64 to 32 bit conversion issue that you were told about,
|| perhaps the person who told you this could elaborate more. In the mean-
|| time, here are some of the most common causes for that type of issue...
||
|| Hardware issues can cause freezing, black screens and other
|| errors. Also, your drivers should always be kept up to date.
||
|| Try the following steps one at a time to try and resolve the issue.
|| I hope this helps. Please post back if you have any questions!
||
|| 1. Update DirectX and your Chipset, Sound, &Video Drivers:
|| For all Video / DirectX / Game and Hardware Issues, I have a
|| Checklist of Solutions at:

||
|| 2. Dust your fans, vents and components using a 1/4" paintbrush
|| and a hose vacuum. Use compressed air for hard to reach places.
|| Set a housefan to blow cold air into your case to expose an over-
|| heating issue.. If it works add more fans or replace defective ones.
|| Use this Motherboard Monitor Utility:

||
|| 3. A faulty power supply can cause STOP errors, random reboots,
|| and black screen lockups. One way to test for that is to check the
|| wattage sticker on your power supply and then calculate your need

|| 4. Test your RAM using:

||| I keep getting a graphic freeze while playing World of Warcraft as well as

||| there a fix at all?
