Hi all,
I have a problem with a PC I recently built. Here are the specs:
ASRock K7S8X (cheap and nasty I know!!)
AMD Athlon 2600+ XP (with the heatsink supplied by AMD)
512mb DDR400
120 GB Western Digital
500W Power Supply
52x BenQ cd-rom
At random times the PC just freezes, even when I am not using it and it is just on. The keyboard will freeze as when i press caps the light wont light up. The screen freezes, the internet is accessed on other PC's through this PC and they cannot access the internet when it freezes. I originally had a faulty processor and power supply but they are now replaced and it still happens. I thought it was the processor but it cant be. I have tried another dimm of RAM and it still happens. That brings me to the motherboard, which I know is a pretty poor one but money was tight at the time. Could it be the motherboard that is the problem?
Any help on the subject will greatly be appreciated.\
Cheers
Chris!
