have recently put together my first computer from scratch
Using;
ecs kn1 sli lite motherboard
amd 64 x2 dualcore 3800+
1 * 1 gig ram (ddr 400 pci 3200) not sure of manufacturer
1 * 512 ram
2 * 256 ram
jeantech saturn case
2 * 80 GB HDDs
500w psu
LG DVD ROM
Lite on DVD RW.
However whenever i leave running, idle .. i.e a big download, or sometimes just when running a few applications, all too regularly the system completely freezes up, no response from mouse or keyboard and i am forced to restart the computer. Im certain the issue is not software based as have totally formatted, and reinstalled o.s ... multiple times.
Was hoping someone here would be able to point me in direction of cause of crash, I considered the different rams in the system a possibility but then it was crashing before they were all in there, when i only had the 1 gig stick in.
Im really drawing to a blank on this as I need my computer to be able to be on for lengths of time as I am a student and spend alot of time designing and authoring applications for coursework.
Eagerly looking forward to a reply, many thanks, M.T
