Basically my mum's partner's PC consists of:
Asus A8V Deluxe
X850XT
250WD SATA
4*512 geil value
Antec trueblue 480
Netgear WGT311
Santa Cruz
Now, last week we updated the bios from 1014 - 1017 as he was getting an X2 4600. Now the update went fine, but now windows:
Hard locks anywhere in windows, randomly
Sometimes locks on windows loading screen
Gets past loading screen and stays on black screen
Gets into windows then reboots
Anyway, we installed the X2 and it still does it. We've reverted back to the 1014 bios - still does it. We've gone to 1018 bios - still does it. Before we changed the bios the system was fine and I'm at a total loss. I've formatted countless times to no avail. I've ran memtest for 2 passes and all was fine. The bios has been reset to default numerous times. I've tried using the system with an IDE and unplugging the SATA drive, no luck. I'm pulling my hair out now
RAM - seems fine
HD - seems fine
CPU - I guess it's good
Voltages - look fine
Temps - look good
