hi, have been having random freezing happening every few minutes or couple seconds. occurs when cpu is overclocked and at stock, everything else at stock or below still happens. i have switched between sound card and onboard sounds still get it. generally a split second freeze most noticable whilst playing music.

i have just bee looking at my Vcore and was wondering if it going between +- 0.04V is as bad as i think? do u think my psu could be on the way out ? or is something else causing me problems. happens whilst multitasking and when its not doing anything but playing music.

spec:
A64 3200 (stock cooler etc).
Asus A8V delux
1GB corsair value (i am cheap :P)
asus 6800 (stock)
ibm 80gb hdd
120gb maxtor
350 w enermax PSU
pioneer dvd and nec 4551.

any help will be much appriciated.
 
only happens for 1 sec or so, get a cpu usage spike and just does not respond for that time. power thing suggest i am near limit as i have 4 fans floppy 2dvd and couple usb things. might look into upgrading psu.
