Recently i have been having a problem with my PC and i am having a hard time nailing the sorce down. My PC will randomly (or appear to be random) and lock up. I will be forced to restart my computer, only to discover it doesn't detect my hard drives. I first thought this was a hard drive issue, so i purchased a new one. After installing it and installing windows, the same thing happened again. I put my old hard drive back in since it seemed to NOT be the problem. I plugged them in to different ports this time. Everything worked fine for about a day, then my PC started restarting before it got into windows. I went through this several times then tried booting windows into safe mode. My pc restarted again, but this time it booted into windows. I have not had a problem with it restartng for two days now, but my internet is really really slow. Also looking at files is slow, and i have even had some weird sound issues, even though i have a sound card not onboard sound. I guess i am trying to figure out if this is a mobo issue, or is this something else. I have limited money for upgrading, and was hoping to purchase a new 8800gt, but looks like this is going to have to go toward a new MOBO cpu combo. Here is what i have inside
AMD 4400+ (939)
board is a ASUS sli deluxe n-force 4 (socket 939)
Antec 500W smart power 2.0 PSU (i think its called smartpower)
Thanks for any help, also if you need more info let me know please
