Plz help


A month ago i reformatted my hard drive, reinstalled drivers and everything was going great until i tried to play a game. My computer froze and there was a sound loop. I tried to watch a movie and the same thing happened. I sometimes get a motherboard beep instead of a sound loop, but sound loop is a lot more common.

installed latest video drivers
installed all windows updates


Ran memtest for 5 hours. No errors
Ran prime 95 and no errors
Ran hard drive diagnostic tool: only did a quick scan for now but no errors.

I ran ATI tool to test my vid card, but i have invidia, a friend told me that it doesn't matter.

Operating System: Windows XP Home Edition (5.1, Build 2600) Service Pack 3 (2600.xpsp_sp3_gdr.090804-1435)

Memory: 3072MB RAM

Tell me what else you need in terms of information, i know the computer has its weaknesses especially in the video card department, but it worked well for over a year. Also it cant be a cooling problem. I have attached a huge fan to the side of my computer almost as soon as i got it. Running prime95 never got my CPU over 65C

I consider my self a rookie so plz no advanced jargon and good explanations

Thanks in advance
 
thanks for the reply

No that is not it. I installed that, i do have a newer version than the one you posted. The one i have isn't some glitchy beta is it?
