My system usually locks up while I am downloading files or surfing the net. The cursor cannot move and ctrl+alt+delete has no effect, so I have to hit the reset button. The cpu at that point is between 45-50C but I don't think it's the heat. My vendor changed all the parts except for the cpu because I unlocked the multiplier, but that did not help.
My system is: Athlon Thunderbird 1 G @ 995Mhz (multiplier @ 7.5)
Asus K7V133 @ 133FSB
Asus V6800 graphics card
Creative 128 sound card
WD 300AB hard drive
Conexant internal modem V.90
Network card.
It also freezes when downloading files from other computers in a LAN setup. Strangely, it does not freeze while playing games over the net, or over a LAN. It can happily go for hours, but when it comes to downloading files, it just freezes. I installed VIA 4 in 1 drivers 4.24. Installed IE 5.5, and used the repair IE function. That work for a little while, but it's back to the problem.
This happened before I unlocked the cpu's multiplier. There has to be a conflict. Could it be the hard drive while it is writting?
