had a year old system worked like a charm,i decided to upgrade some bits here and there,so i bought a ati 1900xt.when i recived it i found out that a pci-e slot was needed so i ordered a new mortheboard ,installed that found i needed a pci-e power supply got one installed it.the thing went fine in windows xp and farcry but the thing freezes within 2-10 mins of all other gamesand very rarely in xp.so i read through every related forum for the past month to no avail.
heres a list of things ive done.
2 pci-e compatable psu still happens[brand new good ones ,ran hairdryer on cold over everybit.]
have fitted 3 new fans have 7 in total,3 in 3 out 1 on psu
updated all drivers
bought a xfi music soundcard
getting another new mobo 2 days.

gigabyte ga-k8ne
win xp home
amd +3400 semperon socket 754
ati x1900xt
xfi music soundblaster
x3 crucial 184_pin unbuff dimm ddr pc3200[swapped around tested them]
use an lg 30"tv as my monitor
maxtor diamond max 10, 200gig

the temps are cpu 25 idle 40 max

im going out of my mind here any help would be fantastic thank you.
 
Hello and welcome to Techspot.

Whatever I say it`s only going be a guess.

Usually freezing is either caused by overheating/psu/videocard, but I guess it could be your mobo.

Go HERE and follow the instructions. See if it helps any.
