I noticed that my pc started to freeze when I play some(heavy) games. Isnt Temperature(my CPU get Max 55°C=102 °F), BUT my AGP sometimes get 74°C).
Isnt Virus or spyware that freeze my pc too. My power supply isnt so good(Power supply Casemod 550W Leadership) but i think if isnt so good, it would reboot my pc, but my pc just freeze and i need to reboot.
THere is no error msg of something like that, just freeze!
I´ve tried to reinstall the ati drivers, disconnect 2 HD, take 2 Mem Ram off and nothing worked.

Someone have any idea?

First off, 55c is NOT 102f, it's 131f.

The main thing that causes this is Newer BIOS w/ Outdated Chipset drivers, try installing the latest Chipset and flash w/ newest BIOS and that should fix the problem.

I agree with mike.

well, i´m using the lastest bios here(and damm, they are old that i dont think there will be a new one)

chipset drivers? i just dont get it(yeah, noob), but it is this file:
INF: Intel® Chipset Software Installation Utility
(The Intel® Chipset Software Installation Utility installs the Windows* INF files. The INF files inform the operating system how to properly configure the chipset for specific functionality, such as AGP, USB, Core PCI, and ISAPNP services.)

cuz there is no "new files" for a long time at intel´s site(for my MOBO).

anyway, i´ll try to find the "new" chipset int at´s intel´s site.

news:

i have installed this INF(specific for my mobo):
http://downloadfinder.intel.com/sc [...] bmit=Go%21

"INF_XP2K_XP64_MCE_6.3.0.1008_PV"

pc still freezing

than i´have tried to find a new one for my chipset(some specific) and found that:
http://downloadfinder.intel.com/sc [...] bmit=Go%21

"INF Update Utility [INFINST_AUTOL.EXE] (945KB) 7.2.2.1006 "
and i dunno, i run, "install" but it doesnt do nothing, i thinks inst installing.

someone have any idea now? thx mike anyway

It's the drivers, unless there's something else you're not telling me.

If you're running a newer chipset than the BIOS, and vice versa, it causes this. It also might be Windows, if you can, install another Windows Installation on a 2nd partition, or in a different folder. This REALLY sounds like a driver error, make sure everything is up to date for the audio, video, chipset, etc. Run Checkdisk (CHKDISK IIRC) and see if it fixes it (this closes bad sectors of drives that can cause errors and corruption).

In bios set Plug and play OS to NO.
Disable fast writes

IF able shut of SBA
I got a reg tweak in a few moments for d3d detection this will help

Create a new DWORD value for each optional item from the list below and set it to "1" to enable the setting or "0" to disable it.
DisableAGPSupport - Disable AGP support
DisableMMX - Disable MMX processor extensions
DisableWiderSurfaces - Disable Wider Surfaces support
DisableInactivate - Disable dual-head video card debugging
EnablePrintScreen - Enable Print Screen capture
ModeXOnly - Use Mode-X for older video cards
ShowFrameRate - Display the frame rate (if supported)
DisableNoSysLock - Disable long-duration locks on video memory
ForceNoSysLock - Force use of long-duration locks on video memory
EmulationOnly - Enable software emulation layer for older video cards

Open the [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftDirect3D] key and change the value of DisableDP2 to "1" to disable Direct3D, or "0" to enable it.

Open the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftDirect3DDrivers] key and change the value of SoftwareOnly to "1" to use software emulation or "0" to disable it.
Restart Windows for the change to take effect.

ok now i´ve installed the newest chip(the second link) and doesnt work either =/
well, i think i´ll need to install win again(but thats will be my last choise)

yeah i´ve tried to set NO at Plug and play OS, doest work either. well, i dunno about fast writes and SBA(have no idea where exacly i´ll desable)

Fast writes is in bios just look for it and you may need riva tuner to disable sba

well, i didnt find fastwrite at bios, so i disable using CCC, and i cant desabel SBA at Rive tuner =/
but with fastwrite off, i´m still getting freeze

i´ve tried to install the "original" inf chipset drives(of mobo´s cd) than the lastest over it, and still nothing. now i´m thinking seriusly of format my hd ~_~

Sry could help dude jeez I now know what I hate intell so much after the pc3 2000 motherboard and that stupid INF crap and the memory transulator bs I never turned back

thx anyway =/

could be temp of my vga? i´m getting 75oC full

Yep thats hot dude

well, today i´ve cahnged term. comp. of my vga and process. and now inst freezing anymore, but there is no sense cuz the temp now are almost the same before i´ve changed it. anyway, now its working ok, thx for tips
