Freezing computer!

Drunkenmassacre · 19 Jan 2010 at 16:25

ok, I've had this problem for a while now, tried various fixes etc but nothing seems to work.

Every now and then my computer will freeze. Doesn't matter what i'm doing on it, listening to music, playing games, sometimes nothing, but it will still freeze. Only for a few seconds, but it's still happening. The screen will stick to what ever was being shown at the time, and the sound will stutter like a broken record.

I've updated all of my drivers, and I have minimal stuff on my computer as i've only just re-installed XP.
I know my rig isnt brand new, other than this it's been working great. Please help?!

Sorry about the lack of specs, its now on my sig.

Thanks for the headsup regarding sig size

According to CPUz the voltage is 1.8V. Speed wise, 360MHz?

AAARRRGGGHHH!!!!! tried to restart my computer to get into BIOS but when it started up, all was normal but the mobo didn't beep. it's taken two hours just to get the bugger to boot, had to set my BIOS to default to boot properly, so now I've lost my overclock. In fact, CPUz is telling me the cpu is running at 1.6ghz, not the normal 2.6. God damn computer!!!

strangely enough, now that you mention it... no freezing so far. what do you reckon caused it?

hmmm. it was stable for ages, only thing i've changed is reinstalling xp... maybe something in the reinstall didnt agree wih it. back to square one i spose.
