1. Are you overclocked
2. Have you tried safe mode
3. Have you gone into your bios and checked your voltages and temps.

Could be a spyware, check your processes

eatmyshorts7569 · Dec 24, 2004

ok. its RIG1. every thing at stock. and it cant be since i for matted like 4 times. and yes it even locks up in safe mode

Then it's not stable!
I despise compaq (after having 3, now i wouldnt own one if you paid me to take it)

eatmyshorts7569 · Dec 24, 2004

ahahahah. yah my first one. as my sig says, i am getting a new Mother boared. so what if the problems continue on the other one. then what could be the possible problem

*Note: i am only getting a motherboared for now. so my Hard Drive, Ram, PSU, and stuff will be replaced later.**Also i will have my old CPU*

ThePerfectCore · Dec 24, 2004

Sounds like a temperature problem. Find a nice cold AC vent somewhere in your house and tump your case over on top of it.

Or just put the case outside.

Check the voltages on your PSU as well. I just had the PSU on my main rig take a sudden vacation, 12v was suddenly gone. CPU fried (dont know why). Replaced both and after double checking the Mobo, all is well with the world.

This is definitly a RAM problem, trust me. I've had it happen to many machines.

Replace the RAM before you replace your motherboard.

kk. PSU is a 350. ram i have a random 128 and a 256 in there. and as far as teh CPU gouse its a AXP2400+. temp of my CPU is 89 F.

ps2cho · Dec 24, 2004

hmmm. test each seperate ram stick, boot, check it, replace and try again.
if fails, try switching the slots, still fails, then throw in ur NF7-S 2.0 about now =)

Check the voltages. BTW, at first, I was going to say that the processor was overheating. Lately, it seems, chiefly n00bies, have been putting the heatsink on backwards or don't use heatsink compound.

It's also possible that the RAM not being synced with the FSB can cause that symptom. If not running with the ratio at 1:1.

ps2cho · Dec 24, 2004

Hmm ok so ur 128mb pc2100 taken out, still made it hang...Wierd that how u can chat to me on aim, surf web, run prime95, yet playing a video makes it hang...
interesting.. ok test ur 256mb pc-xxxx? now

I dont think that is the case because he has no overclock, and it has always been at stock because of a locked bios. so thats not goign to be the problem
nice thinking though

Crashing when playing a video probably is a video card issue.

thats a good idea. imma take the graphics card out and test then.
its a nVIDIA 5200

ps2cho · Dec 24, 2004

no i doubt it would be a video card issue...otherwise it would crash during boot, the graphics accellerator would lock up. not the computer.

Cyrix_2k · Dec 24, 2004

I think it's temp related. Are you SURE that 89f, not 89c?

cack01 · Dec 24, 2004

Playing a video has little to do with the video card.

I would see if its possible to run memtest86 and see if you pass.
Also inspect the motherboard and make sure all capacitors look to be in good shape. Does the system lock up consistantly during the same time period during boot, or do you get father into windows sometimes?

eatmyshorts7569 · Dec 24, 2004

ok i just put all my old mobo in my nf7-s 2.0 and im working on it. ill tell you guys if it locks up again as soon as im don formatting and installing new windows.
