If you happened to have purchased one of the first 7900 GTX video cards that came overclocked out of the box, or if you have simply seen the many threads in different forums such as this one in our forum, you might have heard about some random freezing and lockup issues.
By our own testing, and with the help of many different users who contributed additional information, the freeze up issue was confirmed by me and many others. Basically, a game or benchmark would “freeze” for a time between 10 and 60 seconds, then “unfreeze” and return to normal playing conditions. It was an odd issue that I hadn’t really seen before and we spent time with new drivers, new power supplies and new motherboards to try and fix it.
