I switch on my projector then my laptop.
The laptop has a core i7 3.2ghz processor and 8gb ddr3 ram.
It has the standard intel graphics built onto the processor and also a dedicated NVIDIA 555 3gb graphics card which I output from via HDMI.
I run the HD music videos from an external USB3 hard drive.
Here is the problem.
When playing videos between 30 minutes to 1 hour the video will freeze yet the music continues. The only way to stop this is to turn off the software and start it again.
Any ideas on how I can resolve this or what is causing it. Should I buy more memory for the machine?

Could be a overheating/bad ventilation issue. Keep in mind that using the High-Performance Graphics card (NVidia), may lead to higher temperatures.
Install some Temp-Monitor application (e.g Speedfan) and see if you get higher values than normal

Thanks for all the responses peeps, I have enabled the NVidia freeze bug, and it definitely runs using this card as I have to select it from the video options and I right click the shortcut on the desktop and select to use the NVidia card.
Still having the problems however sometimes I get lucky and it will only happen after a couple of hours! Strange one this.....

4 example: Using a Video Card with 2GB Ram, typ half the value from VideoMemFree in Video Mem MaxUse
