ok so a few months back my PC started freezing. the only way i could run it is to lower my CPU speed. now it got so bad that i couldnt run my PC for more then 5 mins.. turned out my ASUS AH 3650 card was bad. then I went ahead and replaced it with GeForce 5500 thats im running now. It was all good for about a week and now I'm having the same problem. 5 mins into the booting process and my PC freezes. the only way i could run it is to lower my CPU speed to about half in BIOS. my system hasnt frozen in like 20 mins cuz of it.
also, there was this weird buzzing sound for 3 mins on the boot up until i took the video card out, put it back in nicely without forcing it all the way in where it sits TIGHT and DEEP. no more buzzing sound but it still freezes and i dont know what to do
how can i find out if my video card went bad?
my spec:
ASUSTek Computer INC Mobo (A7N8X Deluxe)
AMD Athlon XP: Thoroughbred, Socket A 2700+
3 gigs of RAM (Corsair 2 sticks regular of 1 each, and the 3rd XML)
BIOSTAR GeForce 5500
PLANET WL-8310 Wireless Card
200G Seagate (Master)
500GB Wester Digitital SATA
LG DVD Writer
Coolmax AP-550X Power Supply
WinFast TV2000 XP Expert WDM TVTuner
