Hello everyone. I've been having a problem that is becoming more and more common. Basically after generally 30 minutes to an hour of gameplay my entire computer will lock up and I'm unable to alt+tab or close Skyrim at all. So the only thing I'm able to do is a hard reset of my computer.

At first I could play for up to 4 hours without this issue but the time frame in which it occurs seems to be getting smaller and smaller. I've searched all over the internet for potential solutions and have found nothing as of yet. What I was able to find was a video on youtube of a user having the exact same problem I have been having, here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=na2k8BzPyxo

Here are my system specifications in case that might be the root of my problem:

i7-2630QM CPU @ 2.00GHz
4Gb of RAM
Nvidia Geforce 540M

Again, the video perfectly illustrates the issue I am having. I would have posted this in the sticky but this seems to be a different issue entirely and I spent some time sifting through that thread and it seems most people are having a crash to desktop while it seems my entirely computer decides to take a dump.
