Message: [QUOTE="ro§ie, post: 6583559"] although not a new pc, i did build it (with help from here, thank you :o)), 2 years ago. about a month ago i started to get intermittent freezes, cant ctrl/alt/del... can only reboot. just recently, this has become harder and i sometimes have to try 3 - 4 times to even get past boot up. sometimes when i get the freeze, the monitor just blurs/pixelates. i swapped monitors and it happened. i swapped GC's, it happens. i have run an online diagnostic thing that told me to i should defrag (which i should) but cant stay on long enough. chkdsk says the disk is clean. a few months back i did have overheating probs and went and got lots of fans that has solved that but i wonder if the residual damage to the chip is showing now? any other ideas of what it could be? gigabyte GA - 7VA athlon 2500 XP 3 hdd's - 20gbs/ 10gbs/ 40gbs W2K pro i have tried both radeon 9200se and geforce mmx 440 flat screen monitor (newish) ummm anything else to tell? please help!! its doing my head in!!! thanks :o) rosie [/QUOTE]
