I have a weirdish problem. At first, my computer froze when I was playing video games, and then only after about 15-20 mins. After a while, the time to freeze shortened. I tried working it out with Microsoft Tech support, but nothing they suggested worked. After a while I stopped even trying to play, activating games only when trying the next suggested fix. Now, even Microsoft has given up, saying it looks like a hardware/software conflict, or just bad hardware. The problem is that now, it is beginning to freeze in normal Windows, when I am not playing a game, just doing my work. And now, when I attempt to reboot, bios tells me that something is wrong, a bad CMOS/GNVP checksum (I am uncertain of that last four letter acronym) and I then have to enter bios and reset the parameters for my drives before I can restart properly. I am not a beginner in computer, but I am also no expert, and I have exhausted everything I know to do short of buying a new CPU/motherboard . Some stats and info on my system:
Athlon XP 2000+ 1.667 GHz, Gigabyte 7VRXP motherboard, 256 MB Ram from crucial, Windows XP Professional 5.1, DirectX 9.0a, NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti 4200, SBLive!, Seagate Barracuda ATA IV 80 GB hard drive.
Thanks ahead of time for any assistance
