I have a problem. I have a AMD Athlon 1800 XP running Win XP, 512 ram, other stuff. It would keep locking up when Windows was starting. It would be on the windows screen with the progress bar moving on the bottom when it would freeze every time before windows got started. Sometimes windows would start but it would freeze within 5 min.
I replaced the power supply and it worked like a charm for a month. But, today, I couldn't get past the windows starting screen again. It keeps crashing before windows starts.
I had a similar problem a year ago and a comp repair place replaced my power supply and it worked until this recent problem. So, like I said, I replaced the power supply again, but its locking up again. WTF???!!! Is this computer ready to be trashed? Is my cheap motherboard fried or is my processor dying? Are my power supplies dying prematurely for some reason? Any input would be really cool.
Thanks
