Hello,
I run an custom built pc with vista 32 basic home, AMD 64 X2 4400,it has 2gb ram, 512 ati radeon video card, 500gb HDD.
It started about a month ago, when my programs started to randomly freeze up, expecially games, but Firefox and other programs started to as well. The whole computer did not freeze up only the programs and it lasted anywhere from 15sec to a minute and then it would come back. From time to time it would completely lock up and i would have to do a hard shut down. I have done everything i can think of up to this point, reading posts, making changes, i took the pc apart and cleaned and repaired anything that might have looked off. I have spoken with companies and they told me that it was a video card issue, and after getting a new video card it did not fix the problem. I then moved onto it being a power problem, upgrading froma 350watt to a 1000watt, and problem not fixed. I have cleaned, defragged, debugged, virus scans, anything i can think of short of buying a new pc up to this point.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, id be happy to add additional info upon request. Im getting extremely fustrated being that all my money for this pc is now stuggling to work. Makes running a guild and gaming very difficult at times.
Thank you for any information i am given
