Welp, I installed my new PSU today and. . . no more freezing! :) It is such a relief to know exactly what was causing the stinkin' problem, and to be able to afford to fix it, heheh. Thank you all for your help, suggestions and advice. I hope everyone else who is having a similar problem has...
But of course. There's a saying that 'humor is wasted on the humorless'. We're surrounded by people who just don't know when to laugh. Meh, their loss. ;)
Oh, and here's a good one for you:
Two cannibals are sitting around eating a clown. One cannibal says to the other cannibal, "Does...
Awesome! I'm glad that the PSU is most likely the problem. I've already ordered a new PSU from Newegg--a Silverstone Zeus 650W nVidia sli approved. Let's hope it works well. ;)
Oh, and I bought a SilverStone Zeus ST65ZF 650W PSU. It's approved by nVidia, particularly for an SLI configuration (which I have no immediate plans on implementing). I did a lot of research and read a lot of reviews, so here's hoping it's a good one!
I really think that it is the power source, but I may be wrong. There was one point right after I put the thing together when I checked the BIOS and it said vCore voltage monitor (I think it's the term) failure. I was baffled. I turned it off and checked the PSU. I unplugged the cord and...
Cool, Slikkster, thanks for the recomendation. I did check the event log and it unfortunately provided no more insight. I'll check out the link on the squeal of death. . . it may be contributing. <sigh>
Man, I'm relieved that I'm not the only one with this problem (though with the gazillions of computers in the world it would be odd to be the only one), but I'm sorry you're going through this crap as well. Misery loves company, I guess. I'll let you know if I figure it out--hopefully we can...
Yeha, I guess I'm just free-associating right now. I mentioned the capacitors just in regard to the freezing part. The vcore2 problem may not have to do with the freezing, but could come into play later and be somewhat of an annoyance. :(
Hey, Smut,
What if a soldier were a coward as well? Would he die one death or a thousand? I was in the Air Force for 4 years and consider myself an in-betweener -- partially (maybe 1/2) a coward. Will I die 500 times or once? Hmph! will they be painful? Ah well, me n' Bill Shakespeare...
Okay, I have a little extra info on my situation:
My vcore2 voltage is pretty darned high, and I haven't done anything that would cause it to go that high. The first CPU vcore is usually between +1.39 and +1.43. Not bad. But the vcore2 is always between +1.72 and +1.75! Why the frack is this...
Okay, now that I've gotten your attention (many thanks for it, by the way), I can get down to brass tacks. The stinking system that I've put together recently keeps locking up at the most off-pissing times. Usually it will lock-up during a video-taxing moment, but not always. Every now and then...

Hahahaha, that was going to be my other suggestion. Well, she's lucky that you're a nice guy and not some scumbag who's gonna take mad advantage of her and kick her to the curb. The broad should be thanking her lucky stars. . .
Thank you spherrod and montag for replying. I'm glad that the PSU being the problem is a distinct possibility. I'll order a new and better one from Newegg within the next few days, so I'll be able to tell sometime toward the middle of next week. Hopefully that'll be the end of my worries...
Don't worry, kid, life goes on. And all these people need to give you a break, cuz every single one of them have said something dumb in their lives (whether it was really dumb or not doesn't matter). Learning from your mistakes and not repeating them is what matters, that's what makes us who...
Howdy! Did you ever get this problem fixed? I'm having the same darned one! I, too, am hoping it's just the power supply that's gumming up the works. I started a topic just recently, so maybe if anyone offers any help for mine then there will be a chance it can help you as well. Here's...
