Hi. I have an question. Today i get first freeze just before main menu pops up. It never happened before i have game few months,only new drivers installed yesterday. I launched game directly from desktop. Its screen where it happens. Then i use ctrl alt delete and logout from system.

Why that happened? My mom was vacuuming a meter from the computer. Maybe something she damaged or it was coincedence?
I am running game and its fine now. But i am asking.

Welcome to the world of PC gremlins and random hauntings 🙂 These kind of things happen occasionally, in many ways it's a miracle the thing actually works well any day!

Don't worry about such until they repeat.

So it was not because vacuuming a meter from the computer? Someone said this to me:"Your mother vacuuming so close while you were playing the game caused a build up of static electricity that damaged your computer. "

You will probably never know what caused it, so don't let it bother you.

There are so many things which have to happen correctly for a computer to work properly, and then for the OS to work properly, and then for a piece of software to run properly…

It's inevitable there will be occasional random glitches when everything doesn't line up just right. Only when a glitch repeats in a short timeframe should you become concerned.
