What do I do to fix stablility problems when I'm at stock settings?

[rambow]

im just really confused, dont know where to begin so i guess ill post my specs

winchester 3000+ @stock 1.8
a maxtor 250gb hdd which was giving me errors until i ran chkdsk
1gb crucial ballistix
my psu: 500w 34a@12v, has been stable since i bought it almost 2 years ago, dunno if it is the problem, the readings i get from it look normal, even when running prime95

What kind of problems? ...ohh and set bios to stock, manually

 

[rambow]

heh stability problems...
just about all of them.
i get what seems like data loss and random restarts, and i did set it to stock manually, but i'll double check.

Check your temperatures, if it's overheating then that'll do it.

 

[rambow]

no its definatly not overheating, im pretty sure either my psu, cpu, or motherboard are dying, I just dont know which one.

Do you guys know of anything i can do to narrow it down without using windows because I can't even get back into that anymore.

Swapping some parts works well, ram then cpu or PS, but first try setting bios to totally lame.

Were you aware that your RAM requires 2.8v vdimm, to run at 200 Mhz?
