I have a P4 with a soyo dragon ultra i have a 128 mb
nvidia video card 512 mb of memory i just flash my bios
according to the instruction on the soyo site formated my
hard drive and installed all the latest drivers and now
my computer starts to freeze up from time to time.does
anybody have any idea on what i can do to stop this.
Thank you

this having started ever since the new video card was installed, might be caused by the video card, u need to check whether the card is getting overheated or not, if it does you may have to use an additional cooling fan and also a stronger power supply, if it is not due to overheating, u need to check whether the system freezes when in Safe Mode, if it doesn't it has to do with video drivers installed and u need to try using another set of drivers or if issue persists even in the Safe Mode, check whether the card is compatible with the motherboard, also try reseating the video card.

I had all the above hardware installed on my computer,

the freeze up started after i flash my bios, before
flashing my bios everything was working fine
