Stable system for several years.
Normally
2 Segate HD SATA in Raid 0 Cooled by 2 80mm fans at front
Asus _____ MB For the life of me can't remember model, will have to figure out tonight
2x1024MB sticks of RAM.
AMD Athlon 3200+ at stock speed cooled by a Scythe Infinity
ATI X1650 stock speed cooled by Zalman VF-900 VGA cooler.
PS is Antec ____ 2 fans, like 500 W or something like that if I recall.
Computer now freezes randomly, but basically after being on for maybe 30-50 seconds. Windows will either be stuck booting, or just finished booting or thereabouts. Keyboard frozen, USB dies, screen usually freezes. But my Samsung CRT sometimes says signal out of range, and gives some awfully weird hz numbers.
I switched to an older HD on IDE, same symptoms, freezes maybe a little later. So shouldn't be the HD, or the SATA connections.
Swapped Vid card, same problems. Removed 1 stick of ram at a time, same time.
So I think the only things are left with MB, CPU, PS of which I don't have spares to check. Anyone else experience this before?
