I'm really pulling my hair out with this one now. Did a re-install of XP yesterday because I somehow managed to get a virus on my PC, and no matter what tool I used to remove it, it always came back. Ever since doing that re-install my PC will crash at random times, it could run for 2 hours fine, it could run for 5 hours, then it will only run for 5 minutes and I get a real hard lock up, and the only way around it is to do press the reset button.
Specs are
Gigabyte GA955DSP3 Rev 3.3 (Flashed to F11 bios)
Intel Core 2 Duo E4300 (Allendale core, was overclocked but now running at stock as I thought that was the problem but it wasn't)
ATI Radeon X1800 XT
2 Gig Corsair DDR2 RAM 667 FSB
Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS
Compro DVB T200 TV card
I just don't get it, before the virus it was really stable and depenable, but now arg not happy.
The odd thing is I'm sual booting with Windows Vista 64 and thats really stable, but as half my games aren't supported XP is my primary os (XP Pro, all updates installed and everything has the latest driver also)
I've gone into the bios and turned my memory speeds down to normal, and set the optimal defaults.
Any ideas guys ??
