Well I am still getting random freezing with my rig. at first I thought it was the 6800gt consuming too much power. So I upgraded to a 550W antec PSU. Rails are steady during the freezes. Alright, so I thought maybe it's my hard drives going. So I replace both my 7200rpm IDE 2mb buffer drives, with 2 SATA drives. Okay it still happens.
So I'm thinking it's the memory. It's not overclocked. In fact its under clocked. Right now it is at 183fsb. The memory is refurbished Kingston Valueram.
Now the freezes occure when large files are finished downloading and are being transfered to the desktop. Or when large files are being extracted from an installer. This all tends to make me believe its the memory. I am going to run Memtest86 and post back with the results.
Just happened when I finished download the Nalu Demo.
The only other culprit is the mobo, and it better not be, because if it is, I'm going A64. But I would like to get at least a year out of this board.
