3 months back my PC started freezing.. i had to lower CPU speed. a month ago I find out my Video Card is bad (ASUS AH 3650).. i replaced it with a BIOSTAR GeForce 5500... no more freezes and I'm running my CPU at my regular maxxed speed..
1 week later (today) my PC freezes again and back to the same problem. now the only way i can run my PC is just like before... if I lower my CPU say from 2700+ to 1000mhz (133mhz and 7.5x in BIOS)
WHAT CAN I DO? it seems it was my video card but is it??? my old ASUS card wont even run at low CPU settings now.. it freezes either way. did my new card die? is my motherboard screwed up? i posted in so many sections but nobody seems to know what is my problem.
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
