well i recently built a new pc but it seems like the os is messing up or something. when i start up it freezes sometimes and sometimes it wont even boot up and sometimes it will just freeze when im surfing the web i have amd dual care 6400 3.2ghz cpu 550 watt psu 250 seagate hd sata samsaung dvd drive gigbyte m61 s3 motherboard 4 gigs ddr ram sound blaster platnium -sound card ati raideon x1600 --- 512 mb video card aerocool media reader i have windows xp --- installed on it any ideas what the problem could be?
orthos http://sp2004.fre3.com/beta/beta2.htm if you're crashing while web browsing, it shouldn't even last an hour on blend. if it lasts a while under orthos, it's likely software related.
well now its not even dectecting my hard drive..so i think it may be a hard drive issue it may be cause i installed the raid drives in correctly? would that be a possibility?
might be your board. if it's not detecting the drive you've either got some serious RAM, or CPU issues or a bad board. just a guess there FYI, I can't say with absolute certainty.
well now it detects...but its doing its freezing deal again. edit...well ran orthos for a few mins on blend - stress cpu and ram...but i just left it alone and ater 5 mins or so my cpu shot up to 50.5 degres celcius
it does the normal one short beep meaning its a successful boot basically when i start up the screen looks like this..but doesnt fully load and the mouse can move and thats it i cant click nothing or open task manager
here's something you might wanna try take out the cpu (very carefully) and then check it for any bent prongs if they do not have any make sure you place the cpu in firmly and securely cause it sounds like a cpu prob but you have a cpu that shouldn't have any problem running your apps so try that and see if not it is a faulty motherboard oh and for safety sakes....... make sure you unplug the tower and hit the power button after that to release the remaining power.... don't want you to get shocked! lol ^_^
dude, it's an athlon, not a c2d, they get hot. Right now the AMD athlons are the least energy efficient and hottest running CPUs on the market(atleast at their topend which si where capacitance quickly rises as compared to other levels) as a matter of fact any CPU pushed to it's limits shoots up in temps when under load. My c2d loads around 50C when I run it at 3.5Ghz... and temps aren't the issue, it's system stability.
