Hey guys I have a as of yet undiagnosed problem.
I'm running a Pentium 4 2GHz 845
ASUS P4B266 Motherboard
2 sticks of 512 MB DDRAM
GeForce 4 Ti4400
and a Western Digital 120 GB IDE Hard Drive
all inside a aluminum case with about 9 fans on it and being powered by a 420V power supply.
and Im running in Windows XP home edition
Now for the problem, Im getting random system freezes, it happens really fast when I do 3D intensive video stuff, but it will also freeze while on the web or just working on the desktop. The computer has told me that it is a GeForce driver error sometimes, but I have also been reboted into the Bios and there it says somthing to the extent of: the CPU is being overclocked and that is causing the instability. Is this a hardware problem, possibly overheating? The heatsink with a thermal pad and fan is on the CPU, and the GPU doesn't seem to be getting really hot. Or is it an incompatibility issue between components? Or is it a driver issue? Or possibly a software incompatibility? Please help, I have put a lot of effort into this computer and am exhausting my ideas on how to fix this.
Thanks
Peach
