    Recently I have had an issue with my computer freezing up. I thought it might be an issue with the actual computer until I realized it only happens when I am watching something in VLC, full screen mode. Has anyone else had this issue?

    Does the audio continue to play when the freeze occurs? How fast is your internet connection (I assume you are streaming videos from the net))

    No the audio stops. Sometimes it starts buzzing really loud until I power off the computer. I'm watching stuff already on the computer, not streaming.
