I am going crazy
My computer has started to freeze at random times during bootup. Sometimes during CPU init, sometimes chip-set, sometimes later. I have sometimes been able to get into setup, but then the screen suddenly goes black and everything is frozen.
I have swapped motherboards, CPUs, memory, video-cards, network cards etc but to no avail.
It started with a thunder-storm that caused my main PC to shut down. After that I couldn't boot (never got past CPU init / chipset init). Got a new processor, but didn't do anything. I then swapped MB (a MSI K7T to a MSI K7T Pro2-A). This worked fine for a while, but then suddenly the PC sht down again, and I had the same problem. Swapped processors again, but no difference. Sat overnight, and put in a third processor, and now it suddenly worked. After a few hours, put in another processor and again no problem. After a few hours, the PC suddenly froze again (blank screen etc as above) and since then I haven't been able to boot.
If I pull the power cord and let the PC sit for a while, I usually get quite long in the boot process. Without pulling the powercord, it usually stops at processor fail or early chipset init.
When I moved the new MB back to my second PC it did the same thing.
ANY ADVICE????????????
