Ive been having random lock ups, computer was completely stabile while at school, but after bringing it home it started locking up at random. Naturally being away from my apartment at school I have none of my spare motherboard or old cpu or old ram to test with. I also upgraded from a gf3ti200 to ati 9600xt and the lock ups continued (not the cause of the problem) However when I turned the system off last night because of crashing, this morning it wouldnt boot at all, it isnt throwing any beeps, just push power button and all the fans and drives seem to spin up but other than that nothing, temps were only 39C under prime so it wasnt heat related crashing. Im reasonably sure its not the cpu because I did manage to get the system to boot once this morning but it crashed about 10 min into use and really wont boot now. So this leaves me to believe that either my power supply(enermax 350watt) has pretty much died, or my relatively new nf7-s is shot. I should say that ive never run above 200 fsb and not had the volts up at all, 1.75 on the cpu, default on everything else. a while back I had to move some hds out of my system when i upgraded to the 2500+ before changing to the nf7s because of lack of power, now Im wondering (hoping) that its just the psu that is gone, otherwise I am going to be really screwed because I cannot afford to buy another motherboard at all, I have an antec true430 back in my other machine at school, and I would try to use the psu out of my parents computer that Im using at the moment but it is only a 250watt and most definately doesnt have enough power for my system. Any ideas would be greatly appriciated because I really need to get this system back up and running if possible.
