I come to you looking for help world4ch. I never would have before, but I have exhausted my sources. My problem is such, when I am using my computer, at random intervals my system will lock up. Majority of the time happens while playing World of Warcraft, however it has locked up during just plain windows usage.
This STARTED about a month and a half ago when I attempted to overclock 200mhz. I set back down and still received the issue intermittently... could not find any hardware issues however. I reformatted my system for good measure and it fixed the problem. Until the last week when its been happening again.
I reformatted the entire box last night, installed nothing but basic drivers. 4 minutes after I formatted and booted into windows, locked up. No viruses, no spyware obviously. OS has just been reloaded. I've performed a processor burn test, which tests okay. I've ran MemTest86 which shows okay. I've ran video card tests on my diagnostic CD (I work at Best Buy service department...fixing computers :P) and the video card looks good.
What the fuck is it? Its not software, and all the hardware I can think of testing is fine.
Stats:
CPU: AMD XP 2800+ Barton Core
Memory: 1gig (2x512) PC2700 memory.
Motherboard: AOpen AK77-8XN.
Graphics Card: PNY NVidia GeForce 6600GT 128mb AGP 8x.
Heat: Idle-118F 48C. Full Load-125F 52C.
Anyone have any fucking clues?
