My system is randomly crashing this just started over the last week or two. It isn't rebooting, just going straight to a black screen where I have to power off with the button. I have my cpu overclocked barton2500 @2.2 1.8V. The motherboard is a NF7-S. My power supply is an antec truepower 400something I think(about 3 years old).

I can run Sisoftware Sandra burn in stable as well as memtest86. The power rails seem fine 4.8 on 5v and processor varies from 1.78 to 1.8 during cpu burn. Temps never go above 48.5C loaded.

It crashed mid boot once so I don't think virus or spyware could be the issue.

I do have a hard drive that is going bad (corrupting data) its been like that for 6+months though and my motherboard has been suffering random problems, 1 mem spot is bad, onboard lan is bad that has been there for last year or so.

Any ideas? It seems powersupply but I have a decent powersupply.
