So recently, my computer started just hanging up.. it would just straight up freeeeze. no blue screen or errors, it would just be like on pause. I've been doing computer stuff for years, been able to diagnose most problems, but this one is extremely puzzling.
At first I thought it might've been a memory problem.. So i ran memtest on the system, and it reported errors on one of the sticks.. after replacing the memory, i thought the problem would've been gone, but it's crashing again. Memtest though, this time didn't report any errors.
It seems to hang when I do some more intensive applications. Notably, when I run some p2p software like emule or bittornado. It's also crashed on just some intensive stuff like when I open too many programs or what nots. Right now its fine-- playing mp3's, browsing the web, watching a video lecture, AIM, etc.. but it'll still crash if I try to do to much.
Drivers and stuff have been updated.. I doubt its the video card.. might be the sound card, but i doubt that because when it crashes, its not sound outputting..
My system: shuttle sb61g2, 3.2e p4, 1 gb ram, 6800gt, sb x-fi xtrememusic and the shuttle pn15g wireless addon
Anybody have some suggestions to other diagnostic methods or tools to check out? I'm pretty much at wit's end cuz it seems like thers no clue to point me in a direction to check out
