I have a shuttle ak31-a running windows XP. I have been experiencing random freezes while working on the computer. It probably is a hardware problem since the entire system locks up and I cannot move the mouse. I've tried 3 different sticks of RAM so I know that my RAM is okay. I have not tried a new vid card, CPU, or hard drive but I'm not sure those things could be the root of the problem. XP has been detecting new hardware everytime I restart the machine, it has been detecting a "VIA busmaster IDE drivers" and I cannot seem to find the drivers for this anywhere. Could that be causing my system freezes? This has been driving me crazy for a while so any help would be great.
Here is the hardware I am running.
Shuttle AK31A Rev 3.1
Athlon T-Bird 900 /volcano 6 (not overclocking) Could I not have enough cooling?
ATI 3D Rage AGP 16MB Ram
20GB Western Digital 7200rpm
Linksys 10/100 NIC
