Computer Freezing

Q

Recently my computer has been freezing
It started after i got a new motherboard. With my old motherboard i could only have 256RAM CAS2 now i can put 384 CAS2 (256CAS2 + 128 CAS3)
I checked my cpu temp...athlon 800mhz...and it was 58C...which is crazy

I got a new heatsink and now it doesn't go above 41C in any circumstance.

However, after putting the new motherboard and more RAM my computer has been locking up more....it has happened twice (downloading + extracting) since i replaced the heat sink and like 4 times before i replaced it. With the old motherboard it happened maybe 5 times a year.

What could be causing this problem?

Specs:
ECS K7S5A
Windows XP Corp
384 ram
30 gig HD
geforce 2 gts vid card


What are the possible solutions?


THANKS
 
Sounds like the same problem I was just having, try these steps:
1. Reseat your ram and put one in at a time to make sure its not the chips
2. Try reseating some things like your vid card
3. Load either Fail Safe or Optimized defaults in your bios (these put less stress on your cpus components)
4. Make sure none of your drivers are conflicting with XP and make sure you have the most up to date drivers
5. As a last resort reformat

If none of the above work, post back......later on
