A couple of issues... + Spec me a mobo please.
Spec:
2.2ghz e2200 @ stock / 3.2ghz
4gb pc6400 OCZ
IP35-e Mobo
BFG OC 8800 GT
Old seagate 160gb hdd
Ok the first problem is that my pc freezes, like what evers currently on screen stops moving, sound is repeated like a screeching sound and i can't type / move cursor etc. Have to turn it off to get it to work again. This happens when on stock and oc'd.
The problem mainly occurs when browsing the web, originally it started happening when i was browsing using firefox and download using IDM at the same time. It would get about 3-4 minutes it the download and freeze up.
I then started using opera and it didn't freeze up for a while so though maybe a very buggy combination of ff3 and idm had caused the problem but it'll freeze up even when using opera now. When just using IDM it freezes up aswell.
This wasn't too much of problem as the rig still worked in games, so i could still get my nightly fix of counter strike. but recently it has been freezing up in counter strike. so i've now decided to do something about it ..
To cut a long story short i've tried the following:
Flash the mobo bios to the latest one.
Re-installed windows.
re-installed drivers serveral times.
Run mem test, a lot.
Orthos, a lot
(neither of the above two cause the pc to freeze)
Removed all of the ram sticks and used each individually till it froze. which it did.
I think its a mobo problem, originaly when i bought the pc i had to flash the bios to get it to work properly. Can't remmeber the original problem...but this fixed it.
The second issue i have i have a samy spinpoint, which when connected to this pc will either not be detected at boot, or disapear in windows after writing or reading from it for 5-6 minutes. It will work better in some sata slots on the mobo than others and the other hdd i have is always detected.
i'm currently using it in another pc with windows on it and its fine so :/
err so any ideas >? any help is much appreciated.
Sorry for poor grammer / spelling.
