i need some major help. you can check out my rig in my signature. [1.1ghz, msi k7tpro2a, 320mb pc133, running on win2k] as you can see...it looks like a great system but about 6 months ago i tried the dumbest thing possible for a noobie in computers to do...i tried to overclock. i knew a little about what to do but i tried to take my 1.1ghz to 1.3...that's when my comp failed to start up. so i called up a friend and he told me to take out the battery from the motherboard and wait 5 seconds and then put it back in. that didn't do anything at all. then i checked the led's on my mobo and it said i had a memory problem. so i fixed the memory problem [starting up w/ the 256mb of ram] and everything seemed fine after that. i brought the clock speed back to 1100mhz but now i get sudden lockups. it usually locks up when i'm running a lot of stuff at once [watching a movie (mpg) while browsing the web] or playing games [counter-strike] while listening to mp3s.]
i heard there was a file i could download and it fixes lockups in win2k, but that didn't work for me. i tried replacing the ram, and it still locked up. also don't suggest reformatting cause i did that many times. also my psu is fine...came w/ the antec sx830 case. nothing seems to work...do you think i have to replace my motherboard or the proc? i can't stand it when my comp freezes! thank you
