Please Help!
I have a gateway Athon 850 system. This is about an year old system. This thing will always lock up no matter what you do. Whether I surf on my cable modem or be playing a card game. The system will do a total lock up. (Can't move the mouse, can't alt ctrl del, or anything). I've runned out of ideas on what to do. I've checked all the IRQs, Took out the SB live sound card and ran it (It froze as soon as I rebooted). I reformatted and did a clean install of the OS both win98 and ME. Use Nortons util, to try to figure it out, still no good. Took out the Graphics board and switched it with a lower spec one. Did defrag and scandisk. Nothings works.
Here are my spec.
Athon 850 mhz.
Not sure what type of mobo but it has the AMD 756 chipset.
192 mb sdram pc100.
Riva TNT2 32mb graphics card.
Western Dig. 20 gb HD.
SB Live sound card.
200 watt power supply.
Any help would be great!
