My mobo burned after some problem with energy supplier. I bought new one online, that should be capable of handling my video, memory, cpu. But i have a problem with it. Sometimes when I start my PC, my OS freezes (Win XP) after short period of time, sometimes it does run quit a while and then freezes... My PC often freezes when I play Unreal Tournament 99 Online, but it didn't freeze when I was playing GTA vice city which uses more resources...
Sometimes my mobo just restarts by itself...
I downloaded some program in order to fully load my pc (cpu, memory, hdd not video) and it didn't freeze. Temperature of CPU hit 46C and doesn't go up under that program. I run it like for 30 min.
Now i don't know what could be the problem... My Win is newly installed on a formated portion of the disk...
My old mobo was: ECS Elitgroup K7VTA3
my new mobo is Abit KV7 socket 462 (little faster than the old one) w/Amd XP 2600 (running at about 1.9GHz) w/Volcano 8 CPU fan (big heatsink)
OS winXP service pack 1
Hard drive is western digital
512 mb PC 3200
Video: Nvidia Geforce FX 5500 256 mb (new driver)
Directx 9 c
i bought new PSU because the old one (manufactured) burned so now i have ultra connect 2 550watt atx PSU
could it be Hard drive or video or MOBO?
I'll be gratefull for any suggestions or ideas!
thank you
