Hey all. I'm in the process of upgrading a computer for my uncle. I ordered him a new barebone system and video card off ebay. The barebone system came with a 450watt PSU, a Foxconn Winfast NF4UK8AA-8EKRS motherboard, and a AMD Athlon 64 3500 CPU socket 939. I also got a Gigabyte Geforce 7200GS PCI-E video card. I carried over to the new system 2 gigs of corsair xms pc3200 ram, sound blaster audio card, linksys ethernet card, his WD hard drive, and 2 burners and a floppy drive.
I've built several systems in the past including my own and have never had any problems with any of them. I got this computer to boot up and install XP Pro no problem. I got all of the drivers installed as well. Now the computer is freezing randomly. Somtimes when I reboot it won't boot at all and other times when i reboot it says the cpu was overclocked and to reset it to default settings and sometimes it boots into windows just fine. I have no idea what is going on. I've reinstalled windows 3 times already and have experienced the same problem 3 times. It just randomly locks up. I was able to get SP3 installed but now it freezes while i'm downloading additional updates. I am at a total loss. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
