Ive had prob since last week. on thursday my pc suddenly reset when using photoshop, then reset on loading winxp and again on the POST then it just slowly shutdown. i could hear fans slowing down then it just switching off. seemed to me like a power problem.
Since ive had broadband i havent switched it off since august and its been in great working order - no problems at all unlike my last mobo which was a gigabyte something.
I left the pc off for just over a day then when i tryed it back on at night it was back to normal again, for a week, till this morning.
I reset my pc to install a new camera and it stopped after saying the CPU. so what i get is - the pc posts fine, get the normal beep. i see the Athlon 2000+ bit but nothing after that. so now im thinking theres a memory problem. I have 1x256mb ram which i just bought from komplett. i think its Twinmos and crucial 512mb. havent had a chance yet to experiment and take a few things out to see whats working and whats not but i always look for different beeps on post to tell me whats wrong.
Machine specs are as follows:
Leadtek Winfast mobo (K7NCR18D PRO2)
athlon 2000+
creative gf4 4600
80gig se WD
400w dual fan PSU, bottom fan 'seems' ok
768mb ram - twinmos and crucial using dual slot thing.
Cheers for any help, when i get home from work tonight ill be trying a few things but this is new to me for it to stop b4 it gets to the memory.
edit. home and the pc is ok for now. no doubt itll die next week too. so any help would be greatly apreciated.
Merry xmas everyone, hope we all have a non pc-problematic christmas
