i am having so many problems with my PC. When ever i play any games whether it being a Direct 3d game or Open GL they seem to load and then i can get a couple of minutes playing them and then i most frequently get kicked back to desktop with no error message or any warning. But some times i get Blue Screen of Death or the game just crashes.
I have tried another different Geforce graphics cards on the mobo (ASUS A7S333) but with no luck as i got the same problem. i have tried forceing 1x 2x 4x modes on the graphics card, and i have also tried an ATI Graphics card but but i still had the same problems. i have also tried reformating the HDD and reinstalling windows XP Pro( BSOD during instalation of XP) booting with just the bear minimum components (Graphics card, CPU, Ram) and the latest WHQL Certified drivers, but still got the same responce. i have also updated the Bios to 1005 which is the latest from Asus.
i'm not rulling out that it could be a heating problem . Mobo runs at 25-27 degrees C, CPU at 55-65 degrees C. i also dont think its a sound problem as i have tried taking the sound card out (Creative Audigy) and disabling the onboard sound via the jumpers but i still got the same problems, i have also tried turning the onboard sound on via the jumpers but still this had not effect with the problems
I am also experiencing BSOD when using photo editing software PSP 7, photo suite and even just m$Windows paint when editing high resolution pictures and photos. i usually get just a couple of minutes editing and then with no warning it goes to BSOD and then reboots. i am also getting BSOD in m$ publisher and m$ powerpoint and i get the occasional BSOD in m$ word when i am just typing away.
My system:
Enermax 350w PSU
Asus A7S333 with the SIS745 DDR 333 chipset
AMD Athlon XP 2100+ 1.7Ghz
Crucial 256mb DDR PC2100
IBM Deskstar 7200Rpm 60Gb HDD
PNY Geforce 4 TI4200 64Mb DDR
Creative Audigy Sound Card
Zoom 56k V92 PCI Modem

i think it could be a Bios problem because when i under clock my cpu to 1.3ghz and change the FSB to 100/33 every thing works fine. Does any body see any problems with my bios set up?
