Computer is freezing.

Expand Post »
Ok, I just built this machine for my birthday. It is: AMD XP 3000 w/ 400 FSB. ABIT KV-7 mobo. Seagate baracuda 120 gig Sata HD. ATI 9600 pro 128 mb. And a Modem Blaster modem. I also have a Sony 16x dvd-rom and a sony dvd-burner. 450 w dual fan power supply.
I am running windows XP pro.
When I run my machine at the 3000/400 it freezes up at sparatic times. If I run at 3000/333 it still freezes up but not as often. If I run at 2800/333 or lower it runs just fine.
I know it isn't heat related, the CPU temp is only 40 degrees. It isn't virus related as norton if fully updated. All mircrosoft updates and all drivers are updated.

Please help !

Re: Computer is freezing.

I don't think it's a memory problem. If it were a memory problem it probably wouldn't work at all. I'm beginning to believe it's just the mobo being a piece of junk.
