my pc keeps freezing, its only a week old, built by myself (and it didnt work) then built by a professional who had to do things such as dremelling the TT120 to make it fit the cpu
Now it keeps freezing, freezing to the point of rebooting at which point it wont POST just sits there for xxx amount of hours with all the fans on full, the only way to get it working is to clear the CMOS.
now thats ok, apart from i have to take out the gfx card to get to the cmos.
so its annoying that its doing this every 6 hours or so, ive had it a week and only been able to play it 4 days!
it doesnt matter if its standard (slow) or a moderate overclock or full overclock, it still does the same thing.
It only does it when your not playing a game, when the screensaver comes on, when you leave it idle, or when your doing menial tasks such as unzipping small files. it NEVER does it in a game.
Im so wound up by it my old rubbish computer was far more reliable.
specs
ocz gamestream 600w psu
TT120
Conroe e6300
gigabyte 965P S3
antec 900
2gb of GeiL pc6400
radeon 1950 xt
note when it boots the display doesnt come on. none of the keyboard lights light up, but wierdly this time one of them has done, the pc is turned off yet the keyboard light is STILL on
any help would be greatly appreciated before i ebay all the parts waste 500 quid and start again!
