    Did the problem exist before you reinstalled Windows?
    Which operating system did you have before reinstalling?
    Any new software or hardware added prior to the problem starting?
    When it stops responding, how long are you waiting before deciding it's frozen and forcing a reboot?
    How do I add a signature?
  • Yes same problem and I had the same os. I havent got any other program's installed other then minecract and I wait about 5 to 15 mins

    Does it always happen while you're playing Minecraft?

    Did the mouse pointer still move or was the whole thing frozen?

    If the pointer still moves, it could be a failing HDD. if the whole thing freezes, then it's locked & probably a CPU issue.
