First off, I'd like to apologize, I'm brand new here and I wasn't sure where to post this, since it's not a BSOD problem or installation or anything, my bad if it's in the wrong place.
I bought my computer pre-built, February of this year. It was fine for 3 months or so, and then it started to freeze while playing Minecraft, Skyrim and World of Warcraft. After a while, it also began to freeze during flash applications, and simple browsing in Chrome. Here's my DxDiag: View attachment DxDiag.txt
Now it freezes on a daily basis, at least twice a day. I've downloaded CoreTemp for win8, and it doesn't seem at all to be overheating. I have NOT overclocked this computer, I'm too n00b to know how.
It seems to freeze when I do something quickly, or switch between apps quickly. This made my fiancé suggest running Memtest86. I've done this from a USB image, and every time I do, it simply shuts down after a couple passes. Does this mean it's a RAM issue? I'm sorry, again, I'm so n00b and my fiancé works constantly so I don't have him around to fix my problems.
Thank you for any advice in advance, and please let me know if I can be of assistance or give you more information.
