Hello all,
I just recently put together this system and it has been running great for most part. The peculiar problem is that the hard lock up only happens when I am in IE or sometimes in Firefox. I would leave my machine running for hours on end doing Prime95 with all the ram etc and no lockups and then suddenly as soon as I am in IE within a minute or two .. hard lockup. I just finished a solid 2 hour BF2 marathon and no lockup and then suddenly in IE after checking my mail.. boom hard lock. I always have to hit the reset button to come back. The Event viewer shows no issues.
here are the specs
ASUS A8N32-SLI Bios 1009
AMD Opteron 165 at 2.4GHz 1.44v (temps 42idle and 49 max)
2GB OCZ PC-3200 platinum memory
XFX 7800GT
WD 10K 150GB x 2
Maxtor 250GB x 2
I have run all the benchmarks and Memtest etc and none of them report any error.
I have all the updates and latest drivers for everthing
any ideas on what could be the case
