I just built a new computer and i'm having some trouble with it. At random times, the computer will just freeze up completly and then i'll have to restart. After that, sometimes it will freeze right away or sometimes it'll be half-way through starting up windows and freeze or sometimes it will start windows and work fine! I'm led to believe this is a hardware issue because i recently got fed up and formated my hard drive and reinstalled windows xp and drivers, and that's about all right now. Any ideas? I was thinking maybe the memory, but why would it freeze at different random times? One time after freezing and rebooting it said windows registry recovery was successful, another time scandisk(or the equivilent) ran and found a bunch of files that were "orphaned" and recovered those. But how could it be a software issue if i just reinstalled windows xp? I have an asus K8N motherboard with an athlon 2800 754 chipset, maxtor SATA hard drive, ati radon 9800 pro and 512 ram, not sure what brand. Thanks for any help
