OK heres one that has me stumped.
I upgraded my computer to a new P4 3.0 gig cpu,, 800 FSB Biostar MoBo, 512 RAM, New 450 watt power supply. I just this week put in a new 120 gig HD, New Radeon Video card. New Sound card. Everything brand new.
Now heres where it just gets me everytime,,, i am burning a dvd ,,in windows explorer,, or simply doing anything,, The whole system locks up. the two lights on the front of the computer are lit,, one is the reset and one is power. I have wiped this system clean 3 different times now ( XP home edition )and every single time ,, the system locks up on me,, I have no idea what it could be,, its like buying a new car and the engine wont start.
I have configured different types of hardware devices ,, new sound, video,, etc,, and it still does this,, I dont know what in the world could be taking control of the system and totally locking it up,, Does anyone have any ideas? The only thing thats left ,, is something in the case,, or perhaps the nic card,, theres also a firewire card in there.
Its kinda like fishing,, it doesnt happen everytime,, ya gotta be patient and it will come,,Other then buying another version of windows or switching out the case for another one,, im not sure what else i can do. i have taken it to a tech to mess with and he just rewiped it and that was it,, any input is appreciated
