My system has slowly gone downhill.
Win XP Prof - Updated & Patched
800mhz Athlon
Shuttle AI61 mobo
512 SDRAM
2 - 80 Gig WD special edition drives
PNY GeForce4 MX 440
SB Audigy 2 Plat
MS Lan Card
Adaptec 4 USB2 card
Connect to itnernet through a router and have BlackIce running
What first happened was that it would either lock up at the win XP login screen or while the system was loading after I entered my password. A reboot would usually fix this. Then it started to take several reboots to get in.
What then started to happen was the system started to reboot for no reason.
After that the system would just go dark, everything was running yet to response from the machine even hitting the reboot button the system would stay dark and not post. Only unplugging it would get it to post again.
I have verified that I have no worms (downloaded all the tools). I removed all card except for the vid card and it still happens. I updated the mobo with most current boios/disc controler etc available
I'm thinking my mobo is dying but I want to be sure before I invest again.
Thanks
