1247146 2011-12-07 04:54:00 I have recently reset the BIOS, for that very reason. didn't change anything though... unfortunately, I have no other DDR1 slots to test in the house, so I am unable to do that. My dad reckons it is the PSU. Recently I got a new PSU (the other one broke after I overclocked too far). The PSU is very noisy (the electrical kind), and perhaps it is failing for a millisecond or 2, and so it freezes the whole thing. Does anyone think that this theory may have merit? Although that still wouldn't solve the problem of the prime95 error... skeptile2 (16539)
1247147 2011-12-07 19:15:00 Idk why you'd use DDR1 to start with.. but whatever. You didnt OC your PSU again did you :lol:? Mind telling me the exact brand and model of your current PSU? I'll look into it for you :). EmoCat (16620)
1247148 2011-12-07 22:53:00 You know if you push escape at the wrong time you lose everything you just typed......

Replacing parts based on guesses could get expensive, unless you can borrow some parts to swap for testing you might be better off taking it to someone.
A faulty PSU could cause problems if the supply voltage isn't stable, no way to be sure without a spare or a good osciloscope.

How exactly do you overclock a power supply?
If it is the PSU that's noisy, I'd toss it. Perhaps it's failing??? FInd out.
