Im connected on internet via an extern DSL modem...so you could say my computer is connected to the net via my onboard network card. I have tryed to disable it..no change.
almost 2 hours since the computer is on..no crash..but I did see this..at first my CPU NB temp was 29C-31C and now its 29C-33C..seems like my NB is building up some heat after times..will let it run to see if temp continu to build up

well duh... :beer:
Hmm, well it seems you have tried everything else, so maybe it's time to replace the motherboard.

Even if the power supply volt switch is set correctly, I would doubt that this power supply is sufficient to carry your hardware. Try a PS near 500 watts and I bet your problem will be cured.
Insufficient power from the psu will normally manifest itself in the form of random reboots, not hard locks. My advice to the OP would be to upgrade to the latest version of the bios, and upgrade all drivers, including your motherboard chipset drivers. Also run scan disk on the drive, just in case.

Daishan....did you look at the picture of the crash.......quoted above so you don't have to look for it.....not PSU issue....definately a vid card issue!
Ok, some update....the computer won't crash anymore...and that since the day I started that post (remeber...couldn't stop crashing on saturday...but on sunday..nothing..). The ony difference I made the my computer is that it's hasn't been OC since saturday.
Now that I don't like for many reason...
-When the computer was crashing..I did some test and not OC it for those test...the machine still crashed...the only difference from today is that everytime the computer failed to work properly( when not OC ) I would go back to OClocking it. Is it possible for a CPU to be unstable when OC only after being open for many day in a row? And even then....it should have been ok when I put it back at non OC speed?
-My CPU was OC a while ago ..at least 3 weeks... before it began to give me trouble...and if it was in fact unstable because of the OC how did it manage to pass prime95 for 72h twice ( I say twice..because it did before the time it began crashing..and one other time after it began to have those problems ).
I'm not doing extrem OC....from 2ghz to 2.4ghz is far from what I read with pple here that reach 2.6 and beyong....its not my CPU couldn't do it. ( in fact I did OC once at 2.55ghz before I choose than 2.4 was more than enough for me ) So I'm not exactly an OClocking Expert...could it be possible for a CPU to be unstable even after doing many runs of Prime95 with no error?
Oh and BTW..if it where in fact the video card...why did the crash stop now? And also..when OC my CPU my AGP speed has always been at 66...never changed it..and never OC it ( videocard ).

All of this makes me believe, even more strongly, that the problem lays with your PS. Either it has some minor defect in it or it just does not have quite enough horsepower when called on to do OC. I know you have run your specs thru the calculator, but in the real world, there is a lot of ART to this thing of getting a computer to work correctly as opposed to science.
I believe if you would run out to your local computer/electronic retailer and pick up a PS with just a bit more wattage, your problem would be cured and if not you should be able to return the PS, in case this turns out to not be the problem. Of course, I would ask to make sure you could return for refund, as opposed to an exchange).
There is always the possibility that there is a defect in your processor, but I doubt it. Let's hope it is not the processor, because if it is not returnable, this is going to cost you a lot more in both money and down time.
Good luck.

Well.....After more than one day of running with no problem( when OC )...the computer was closed for the whole 3 labor day weekend...came back home just 30 min ago...open up the computer.....computer crash after 5 min...so..back to square one..going to test it not OC for another couple of days to see if last week wasn't just luck...
Just a question like that...is 1.55v normal for a OC cpu to run from 2ghz to 2.4ghz?

1.55v is a little high for 2400mhz, but nothing wrong with it, its still safe voltage. I would take wpshooter's advice and go down to a local retailer with a good return policy and start testing different components.
