Hi, this is my first post here
Anyway, I got this old family computer that has a P4 641, an old ECS mobo, 1.5 gigs of RAM and an ATi X1550 PCI-E gfx card (I know its crappy). Now for some reason it will constantly and totally randomly freeze in the POST and windows, rendering it almost unusable. When it freezes it will sometimes make a loud clanking noise through the speakers and it just crashes. If i leave it for about 30 mins it will display the desktop or POST or w/e but in a corrupted form.
I've tried removing my gfx card, replacing my PSU, applying new thermal paste, blowing dust and just about everything else. All the temps are normal with the CPU runnin at 30C and the mobo runs at 34C and all the HDDs runniong at 40-ish so no problems there. It started randomly when I was playing Oblivion and wouldnt stop the only things I havent tested are the CPU and the mobo. If anyone could tell me which one of these could be the problem I would be grateful to know.
Thanx, Jumpstart (also known as BiGWicK)
