Thanks mate, I'll check them all. I've had 3 crashes today. ALL were when I was clicking a link in either IE or Firefox. I'm at my wits end and I'm struggling to get work done.

Had another crash. The only temp that was high was the Aux, but I've read on a few other forums that on the P5B, the Aux sensor is bogus. Can't really think what else it could be apart from something on the mobo or the PSU.

Thanks for the help chaps. Freezes generally occur, and when I reboot, I'll have a few hours before the next one. I have now disabled my onboard sound in the BIOS and disabled the windows Audio service and have had another freeze. I did do lots of memtest runs (overnight) with no...

Hey chaps, sorry to dig this old one out. I've not changed my computer since the last post, but it has started freezing more regularly again. I've taken to opening up Core Temp and Speedfan again, currently temps are: CPU: 49C Core0: 28C Core1: 27C System: 41C Aux (still don't know what...

Crap, spoke to soon. Had another freeze. However, I've had one in maybe 4 or 5 days. Weird, same symptom, but less frequent.

Still no freezes. Does anyone have any comments on my GPU temperature being around 70C consistently?

OK, since putting the new card in, no freezes. The new GPU sits around the 65C-70C mark though.

OK chaps, quick update. Found an 8400GS laying around that I've put it. I think I've discovered what the "Core" temperature that Speefan is reporting as 60C (even though the two individual CPU cores are both 18C) is actually the GPU core. Is 60C OK for an 8400GS? There's not much I can do to...

Howdy chaps. My home network is relatively simple. I've got an ADSL modem/router downstairs in my hall where I have a wireless switch plugged in. My housemate connects over the wireless and I have run a cat5 cable to my room for gaming. I've always found 802.11g unreliable and a little laggy for...

I'll do this. However, this is my work machine and is almost constantly accessing the internet, so if the NIC was dodgy I'd have thought I'd get more problems? Thanks again!

I have done full virus and spyware checks. This problem has also occured on either side of a fresh windows installation. I will do a complete virus and spyware scan overnight and report back. We're a small company, don't really have an IT department. In fact, we are an IT consultancy and I'm...

I will do a BIOS factory reset, but I'm 99% sure I've changed nothing in there but boot ordering. Its tricky to do lots of debugging because its my work machine. I have no idea what the Aux temperature is. I've touched the heatsink before and its not that hot really. Can anyone set my mind...

Uninstalling the TCP/IP fix didn't help as it froze yesterday. Twice. I will run the torture test overnight tonight. I assume there is no risk with doing this? i.e. if it causes a problem, then sitting in the frozen state for 7 hours won't harm anything? EDIT: GRRRRRR, Another bloody...

Right, had another crash. Was listening to an mp3 and downloading skins for the VLAN player. I had clicked on the bar in IE7 that says 'Allow this file download' and the system froze with repeating sound. The following were seen in Speedfan and Asus PCProbe: VCore: 1.22V +3.3: 3.26V +5...

Seems a reasonable bet. Bit of a ah heck because its hardly the easiest part to test and replace. This is my work machine so can't really take it offline for a few days to wait for a replacement.
