Could still be an overheating issue even if you put on a new fan. Maybe the CPU needs to be cleaned and you need to re-apply the thermal paste.

As everyone already mentioned, you should test the RAM as well.

No its not the RAM, now what? I was just thinking when i bought the new PSU and then rebooted it gave me a warning saying "warning a new CPU" do u think there is something in that?

I think my CMOS battery might be dead but i dont think that has anything to do with freezes and stalls when XP is up and running.

Hello
I sure this is a overheating issue because i cant use my comp form morethan a an hour and and a half then after that i have to unplug it for hours before i can ues it for another hour and a half. I just dont know how to determine where it is overheating and whether there is some setting in the bios i should adjust, any ideas?????????

Grab a copy of Speedfan and report back with the temps

You say you were grabbing updates and stuff. Are you sure when you were browing the Internet downloading things a virus didn't get in? This is why I ALWAYS install AV software on a machine before I even connect to the Internet and download windows updates.

I could be wrong but i think i am having trouble with my graphics card. Because my screen has gone blank but the the lights on the tower are still on the the orange light flickers when i load a disc in the drive. And i was connected through ethernet to my laptop at the time and i was still seeing packets being sent and recieved in the LAN connection for quite a while afterwards(stopped now). I don't know if that still happens when a computer freezes up but i would have thought the packets would stop being sent.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

I was networking my pc and laptop again and this time when my computer froze. The laptop which was uncompressing a file stored on the desktop aborted because of the freeze.
Is there any way to diagnose my computer???????????????

i have recently replaced my motherboard (A7N8X deluxe), with the exact same model. I have connected all the cables in the exact same way and all the jumper settings are exactly the same. But my computer will not even get to the beeping stage and my monitor will not pick up any output from the computer, but all the hard drive and power are running and working (you can hear the hard drive running), when i reconnect my old motherboard then everything runs as normal. Does anyone know why this happening.

well if it is not the motherboard, the psu or the ram then i would suspect the graphics card if it is not onboard?

Either that or as somebody mentioned your CPU...how old is the computer?
