Hello people,
My pc is getting on my nerves.
I built the new one on dec. 2002. The specs are:
CPU: AMD ATHLON XP 2400+
MOBO: ASUS A7V8X
MEM: 256mb pc2700/333 DDR RAM Apacer brand
power supply: 300 watts
VGA: GeForce 2 MX 400 32 mb
Sound: Sound Blaster Live
LAN: Broadbandcom 100/10 mb ethernet
HD: Maxtor 60 gb ATA133, 2mb cache
Modem: Creative Modem Blaster 56k V.92
It has worked super until last week. I get random restart while surfing the net or loading and playing games. Sometimes I get a blue screen and sometimes it restarts or hangs. Very unpredictable. I formated the whole drive and reinstalled Windows XP. I ran scandisk. Still the same problem. Downloaded a program from memtest86 and the ram came out fine. Also at the store they tested it and said the ram was fine. What the hell can this be ????
Processor is not overheated and running at 133x15 speed.
Is there some sort of BIOS setting that can cause this or is my processor or mobo bad ????
I'm lost in the hardware jungle !!
Please help.
