    Ok, please don't redirect me to another post with a freezing 6920G, checked all of them, they have a different problem.

    Basically, I can surf the web, play music, watch videos, everything together with the CPU being maxed out no problem, it may overheat but I Have a cooler for that. So i dont think its CPU related...

    However if I start a game up, any game, RA3, FEAR 2, Battlefield 2, after like 20 or 10 mins of gaming itll suddenly FREEZE! The sound starts to loop the last 2 seconds playing and the game will freeze. I cant alt delete or anything except hold the power button and turn it back on.

    I have tried so many things, nothing seems to work, new drivers, reinstall Direct X, everything!

    If anyone can help I would really appreciate it =)

    Clean install of Windows?
    Sounds like something's done completely buggered.
    Back up your data, and either use the Acer eRecovery DVD you burned (you did burn it, right?) or a clean Vista disc.

    Try to clean up the cooling system of your notebook. Probably, there are a lot of dust :)
