Normally I can fix most any problem myself, but over the past year or so I did a build for a friend which has had very subtle, annoying, problems.
The PC was just built to be a family computer with moderate gaming capabilities last year...
400w Antec PSU
a64 3200+ (939)
1gb 2x512 kingston pc 3200
160gb hd
evga 6600gt (now equipped with zalman vf900)
dfi lanparty ut nf4-d mobo
dvd/cd burner
So far I've replaced the RAM, video board, and PSU. Currently it just 'freezes' up every so often, completely at random, maybe 5 minutes after you startup or hours later, but its just given that it will freeze now at some point. I'm wondering if the fact that I've had to take out his hard drive and scan it for virus' so many times has had some weird affect on windows that would cause this (but i highly doubt that, although its overdue for a wiping...), my other thought was that it may be the mobo, which is why everything else around it has 'gone' at least once. Any help is greatly appreciated, especially for this mystery!
