This is just to update my reply yesterday... It seemed to have been one of the sticks of ram. I had one stick of pc266 and one stick of pc333 and it was the pc333 that was not working... but now it sometimes still freezes durning online game play... How can i test my hard drive to see if it is damaged?

Hey thanks everyone... When i bought the motherboard i asked the technician for a mobo that would work with my ram cuz im on a limited budget. everything came out from the old computer.

I just installed a new motherboard into my girlfriends computer, She had an ECS K7S0M+ 1000Mhz with 480Mb DDR Ram PC-266. I bought a PCChips M8636G (mobo and AMD 2.15Ghz Processor Combo) becuase it works with the exsisting ram. also have a WD 80Gb hard drive.... after re installing windows and all required drivers the computer will freeze during playing the sims and somethings just because it wants to.... The old motherboard died becuase some capasitors( i know i spelt it wrong) were leaking and buldging due to a power supply failure( already replaced Power supply) Why would it keep freezing. is it possible that the processor needs to be broken in first?????
