When running any 3D programs the computer freezes/ studders, it will freeze and then about every 15 sec. it will change to a new frame.
No sign of slowdown it just happens without warning. The sound studders also. ctrl-alt-del doesn't work, only the reset button. Every once in a while after I have to reset, the boot up will tell me that I should check the power management in the bios. I have all the newest drivers for the video card and soundcard.
So far I have removed the sound card, still froze. Updated to a 400 watt PS, the new WD Hard Drive and reinstalled Win XP about 3 times.
Everything is running a default settings.
I'm running Win XP pro on a
Intel Pentium 4 (Northwood) 2000MHz
ASUS P4S333
512 MB of Mushkin Cool DDR 2100 (2 dimms)
Elsa Gladiac 32MB (Nvidia GeForce 2 GTS)
