Okay, I've bought a new set up about 2 months ago and I have yet to get it working properly, as it always likes to freeze. The specs are
GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3L LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX All Solid Capacitor Intel Motherboard
EVGA 256-P2-N751-TR GeForce 8600 GT 256MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SLI Supported Video Card
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Wolfdale 3.0GHz LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor Model BX80570E8400
Thermaltake TR2 W0070RUC 430W ATX Power Supply
Hynix 512MB DDR2 RAM x2
I've never seen the CPU temp go over 39C, even right after a freeze up.
What I mean by freeze is that the computer is no longer responsive (no I/O works) and the screen displays the last thing that I was doing, and I have to use the power button to restart the computer.
The computer boots just fine, no beeps. I reformated the HD and installed windows xp, but with windows installed the computer freezes either when "loading personal settings" or 10 minutes after loading windows. It was rare that it would get past loading personal settings w/o freezing though. (I had all of the new drivers for my hardware reinstalled as well)
Then I decided to just try a fresh install of Ubuntu linux to see if the problem was just with windows. Ubuntu boots up just fine and if I don't move the mouse that much and just let the computer sit, it won't freeze for days, but after using the computer (just installing stuff, or browsing the internet) for half an hour or so, I'll get a freeze.
I also get a freeze when I am in the BIOS, but only if I go into the menu to switch the VCore to something else. Just going into the menu, not actually changing anything in the menu. Anywhere else in the Bios is just fine and won't freeze at all.
I ran memtest86 and I always get a freeze (not an error) in Test #5
No BSOD's have popped up at all, only freezes.
Can't think of anything else to say about it, if anyone has any ideas, they would be appreciated.
