Lock up

Feb 5th, 2005

Im having a problem with a computer that appears to randomly lock up at various times and there is no way to shut down the computer unless I turnoff the swith on the supply. I have replaced the RAM and ran diagnostic on the machine and it still freezes. Is there anything else that I can do?

You also might want to check your graphics card that will also make your computer lock up if it's to hot or just utter crap.

Do you do any Over Clocking? If so on what?
