    Video Freezing

    Okay, final update... I hope, lol. The temperatures are actually much cooler now even. Guess the processor was still hot when I took my first readings. Obviously the case cools much much better now as the temperatures come down extremely quickly following a stress test. However, cooling down...

    Video Freezing

    Well, that's very nice to know. If I still get video freezing problems I'll for sure turn off AGP fast writes, I know that it's on now. I did manage to lower my temps by 5C both idle and under load. All I had to do was plug my case fans into a normal PS outlet instead of the "fan" outlet...

    Video Freezing

    The only real thing running in the background occasionally would be Firefox. I keep my system tray clean and don't let stuff run that is not needed. Well, I have anti virus running, but that's about it. I run these same settings on a 2500+ PC with a Asus A7n8x-x mobo and a 6600GT-AGP vid card...

    Random reboots and lockups

    Yes, I had that problem and it turned out to be the PS. Put in a new supply and the problem vanished. Good luck!

    The settings are high, very high, lol. 1280X1024 in DAoC and 1024X768 in HL2 with max detail, 4XAA and 8XAnsi for both games. However, I was also running this way with my vid card in my XP 2600+ without the freezes, but it was a different case/mobo/processor. The game is not choppy. It runs...

    Intermittent, Pesky, and Annoying Boot Problem... Ideas?

    Well, no one ever replied. But just in case anyone is wondering what the problem was, it was my power supply :( Seems that the power supply (Antec TruePower 550Watt) took some time to warm up and output steady power. I bought a new Enermax 470W supply and haven't had a problem since. Now I'm...

    Intermittent, Pesky, and Annoying Boot Problem... Ideas?

    So... no ideas :( Well, here's an update. I powered up with my IDE only in the system. It booted fine and I started Asus probe. The 5 volt was a bit shakey moving from 4.703 to 5.000. It continued this way for a while. I started up prime95 as a stress test and the voltage increased to...

    Intermittent, Pesky, and Annoying Boot Problem... Ideas?

    Alright, this problem has been around for a bit, but is slowly getting worse and I'm really at a loss as to what's happening. I have some thoughts, but I don't want to go buying more hardware until I'm more sure what might be the problem. Here's the jist of it: System: Asus A7N8X - Deluxe...
