i just bought a Abit AN8 with an AMD 3200+ Winchester, 1 GB Kingston Value Ram, and MSI RX300 SE graphic card on it.

but whenever i open songs or movie with windows media player, real player or itune, or even playing games, then it will come out with errors (windows error pop up). sometimes when i switched on the computer, in the BIOS page, it is written, please reset your CPU frequency, AND, system is running in safe mode, please check your CMOS setup ,AND, system is running in fail-safe state, please check your bios setup.

i cleared my CMOS, then this problem will be gone for just a while, it will occur again n again. HELP!!! izit my CPU has defect?

i exchanged the power supply, HDD and ram with my brother. and the probem is still occuring. izit the graphic card (ATI) is crashing with the nVidia chipset? or anything that i can do to find out the problem??

ATI cards run fine on NVidia chipset mobos. I and many others run systems configured just like that without the problem you just described. I don't have a solution but I figured I could eliminate that from your list of possible problems for you. :)
