Hopefully someone can give me their opinions on whats wrong. So I play
alot of graphic intensive computer games, but recently started having
problems. I built a new PC to enjoy these games more and everything
is going fine for a few months, but then I start getting these
periodic freezes. The screen freezes preceded by a chirp, my mouse
turns off, keyboard is not working, but the PC is still running. I
have to manually reboot. So as time goes on these get more and more
frequent. I tried playing different games in case it was a game
related problem, but got the same freeze no matter which game I
tried. I switched out my FX 5900XT for my old Geforce 3 and still got
the freeze. So the way I see it there can really only be 3 culprits:
CPU, Memory, or Motherboard. If anyone has any inkling of what the
problem might be please tell me so I can get it fixed ASAP and RMA
whatever is broke.
Here are my specs
Abit KV8 Pro
Athlon 64 2800+
PQI 512MB DDR400
Geforce FX 5900XT
WD 120GB HDD
XCase 550W PSU
