Hello all, I am hoping someone out there can help me with my crashing problems. I'm not too into the technical specs, but I will try to give what I know.
My system: by systemax(amd athalon 1.20ghz on S/I AZ11E ATX motherboard w/ 768 MB ram)GeForce3 Ti 500 64MB video card.
The problem: crashes crashes and more crashes... but not normal crashes, no warning, just blink and then a restart as if nothing happened (except the improper shut down disk scan). I cannot figure out a pattern, it happens with one program running or 10, seems to be random.
My solutions: I thought it may be heat related so I added 3 more fans.. it did not help.
I thought it may be low power supply so I increased from a 300 watt to 400 watt.. it did not help.
I thought it could be the fact I was running windows ME so I did a clean install and went to windows XP.. it did not help.
I notified systemax about the problems and they replaced the hard drive, floppy drive, motherboard and the cpu... and it still crashes.
What am I missing?? Please help me..
Thanks in advance - police9111
