Freezing screen
Hi Guys,
now one would think this was really easy to sort, but I have tried nearly everything. I installed a new mother board and the system was a clean install. It keeps freezing every so ofton, no matter what I may be doing. It could be w minute after I boot or anytime after. My Control- Alt - Delete will not work either when this freezes. I have to reboot everytime.
I have done a complet Antivirus check, took the memory out and rieinstalled it,took the soundblaste card out, changed the mouse from USB back to ps2, and still no good. I have also downloaded all the latest drivers. One thing I have not done yet, and that is to updated the bios. I am not too up on that particuler job, yet. I would be really gratefull if anyone could shd a bit of light on this problem, please.

Most hard freezes are hardware problems.
Software/driver problems usually throw errors at you.
Any heat problems? Have you tested the RAM? Is the Graphics card new? Do you know that all the parts are compatible with the new mobo?
How about your PSU? What wattage is it? Is it old? Have you a tester to test it?
