Lockups
If it is locking up during scans and video playback you have a few things you can check:
Make sure it is not overheating; If you get corrupted graphics on the screen or lockups with no error message this is a prime candidate. A program like 'speedfan' can help you monitor your temps.
Make sure you have the latest drivers for the system installed. A brand-new system will still usually have out of date drivers.
It could also be a RAM issue; you can run a program like 'memtest86' and see what you get.
If you're not comfortable working on the system, might be a good idea to get a good tech to look at it for you.
Hope this helps.
