Hi All
My PC has been freezing randomly from past couple of months.. I called up a local hardware guy who cleaned it thoroughly but still the problem persisted. I took it back to him and after a day of analysis he told me that the problem was with the GPU and the SMPS. He took out the graphics card and replaced the SMPS and said that it should work now.
It has been a week now, but still I am facing the same issue. Although the freezing cycles are less as compared to 2 weeks before but still it freezes a couple of times. I have even formatted and installed XP again but no great improvement.
Today, I even tried verifying the two installed 512 MB Kingston RAM chips by working with them individually. These were the results:
RAM 1: PC starts and works properly. I started installing Office 2007, it freezes at 70% installation. Till that time (approx 10-15 mins) it was working fine.
RAM 2: CPU starts booting, but the monitor doesn't shows anything, the power light on monitor blinks. I have tried thrice and the same result, the screen's blank but the CPU's running
Also, FYI the machine config is:
P4, 3.0 GHz, 512 MB x 2 DDR RAM, GeForce 6200 512 MB (It aint connected to the CPU atm), 80 GB HDD, Win XP SP3.
SMPS: Zebronics 400W (its week old)
Please help me in detecting the issue.
Thanks a lot!
