Got a windows xp machine,
AMD 64, 3200, OC'd to 2.4 (been for about 3 years, so long I don't even remember how to unoverclock it.
Keeps crashing. Seems to happen whenever I'm doing network stuff. Remote desktop, or streaming to my xbox (watching shows/movies) I've never had it crash while I was actually sitting here using the PC.
I tried uninstalling a bunch of programs, cleaning up the O/S a bit, windows update, got rid of programs running in the background. Then tried AV scans, spyware, etc. Then cleaned out computer, sucked out all the dust, cleaned out the heatsinks/fans/slots/etc.
Ran some utils, checked temps, nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
Started running some disk tests... they took forever, in the meantime I started to stream a show (crash)... So I moved some files off my second drive onto my O/S drive. Wondered maybe if there was a drive problem and if I tried streaming off the C: drive it might help. No suck luck. Crashed...
But those seem to be the only times it crashed.
Suggestions? PC is about 5 years old I think - whenever the AMD 64's came out. I bought it mid-life cycle of the 64's, not when they were brand new. Mother board is of the same era, the first Nvidia SLI deluxe ones, and 2gb dual channel ram, the first era of 2x1 GB decent quality sticks. OZC dual channel platinum.
Xfi sound blaster,
2 seagate HDD's.
crappy cheapest nvidia 7200 gs money could buy (a year old)
That's all I got
