For some reason every 35 or so minutes the whole thing will freeze but the motherboard, CPU, cooler, etc stay on. I can't tell if the card is on but I cannot interact with the system at all. When I unplug the DVI cable from the card and plug it back in I get static. The only way to "fix" it for me is to hard reboot. I need help ASAP because the codec I'm using to edit video (XDCAM EX) are only cheaply available on OSX with FCPX. Thanks in advance.
