Problem: I'm getting Lock-ups and spontaneous re-boots. Mostly my system will lock-up. I'll hit reset switch and sometimes it re-boots and sometimes it won't. When it doesn't, the monitor will stay in suspend mode, but the hard drive light is active(no beep like during a typical POST). Sometimes it'll lock-up during the POST. It might run fine for a week straight, and then, like now, it'll flake out for a few days and lock-up several times a day.
heres my system specs
What I've Tried/Think: CPU Temp 42C max. Doesn't seem like OS or other SW problem, b/c of lock-ups during POST. Sometimes reset of BIOS is needed to get it out of that "monitor suspend mode." I've tried default BIOS settings. I tried each 256MB stick by itself in each of the DIMMs. PS is about 1.5 years old. Tried Fail-safe BIOS settings. I've cleaned the case from as much dust as I can see. I've installed latest Via 4 in 1 and nvidia drivers.
I would greatly appreciate any suggestions. I really don't wanna bring it to a shop, but I will if thats what I gotta do
