Hey Guys,

 

My computer freezes/has been freezing for about 6 months now. I can't fix it, please help.

 

SPECS!

Currently Windows Vista x86

4GB RAM

Intel ® Pentium® D CPU 3.40GHz. 3400 Mhz, 2 Core(s), 2 Logical Processor(s)

VIA Intergrated GFX

BIOS: Award Software Inc. F4 11/01/2007

Mother Board: GIGABYTE GA-8VM800PMD-775-RH

 

GA-8VM800PMD-775-RH - GIGABYTE - Product - Motherboard - Overview

 

 

Things Ive Tried:

  • Reinstall Windows (Went from vista to xp to win7 back to vista) (currently vista)
  • Reformat C Drive
  • Delete all programs, leave computer clean for a while.
  • Remove seperate pieces of hardware.
  • Update BIOS
  • My friend even took a look at it and done some troubleshooting, heat tests.

 

Thinks I havn't tried:

  • Formating All Drives
  • I dont know!

 

So please help. Note this is an old computer but I have no idea why its not working. Hardware/software is intact.

 

It sometimes freezes (rare) at BIOS so I did BIOS update with same problem. Usually freezes in the boot cycle. Sometimes boots, runs for a minute then freezes. But if you boot and run it for longer than a minute then it wont freeze until you reboot.

 

Hope you can Help!

may i suggest runnign a memtest

 

or swap our ram sticks if you have extra

 

Seconded. Bad RAM can fsk everything up at random intervals.

 

You might also want to run a CPU/GPU testing app to get it nice and hot. I'm having problems with my airflow after putting a second video card in. I have to cool the case with an industrial fan or it will seize after a bit in game.
