After a month of sending my computer to different technicians, and with none having found anything, I have come to you, OC gurus for some help
Problem? When using my computer more often than not it will just shutdown(when it does i have to unplug the power cord for a few secs and plug it back in, otherwise it doesnt even turn on), reboot, freeze or give me a 0x8E STOP message. Every now and then when windows boots and tells me the system just recovered from a big error, and tells me it is most likely related to an uncompatible device driver.
Oh, and it messes up more often when the pc is being used, if I leave it off for a day, It will most likely run without a problem for a day aswell. It doesnt crash while using any particular application, I've had it mess up on me while gaming, internet surfing, even while it's idle!
I havent installed any new hardware lately, except for a video card I pulled out of a pc I was given, but it was about a month before it started giving problems.
I have no idea what's going on, Windows also takes like 4 minutes to load, when like 3 months ago I was on my desktop in like 2 minutes.
Everytime I sent it to a technician, the guy just leaves it run for like a day or two, and it doesnt show any problems, good, I said, until I came back to my house, plugged it in and have it crap out on me in like 15 minutes.
I've run memory tests, upgraded every possible driver, bought an UPS. nothing. I'm desperate here, If I only knew what's wrong I'd be happier.
Please help, and thanks in advance
