Hi all,well, i have my new system, and i am really eanjoying it. Except the fact that it locks up, then just reboots. I cant figure out what it is. All my security patches are up to date. So i dont think it would be a virus. It really aggrivating though. I have a brand new computer that is locking up. What is wrong, what do i do to fix it, is any body else having this problem?AMD Athlon64 3200+GIGABYTE K8NS Pro1GB PC320080GB SATA 7200RPM Seagate HDAOpen 8X8 DVD R/RWATI Radeon 9600XT 128MB.WIN XP SP2When my system locks up, the monitor will loose its signal, and my speakers just play a "clicking" sound, the sound you get when you click on a link or something similar, and plays that sound like a broken record.Is there a diagnostic program i can download to figure out what is wrong??Your help would be greatly appreciated.If you can help me, please let me know, i am out of ideas.

Hi Chase:A safe program you might want to try for free is PCPitstop.just do a google search.Do the full scan.it will check for virus and scope your computer and rate it.if it finds anything wrong it will show you and offer advice on fixing it....Brent....ps is it just certain programs that lock you up or everything?have you checked your directX hope this helps

I actually did pcpitstop just before i read your response. FS2004 is the only program i have had it lock up on. the PCPitStop came back and said it one of the highest performance or the fastest or something like that. I have a spyware problem also.. I have be using SpyBot Search and Destroy, and it removes spyware, and i can reboot, and there it is again. It is removed, but just pops back up.Anyways, i havent seen a lock-up in a few hours now, hopefully its cured some how. But the next time it happends, im going to burn all my downloads, etc, and reformat and start out fresh.. Thanks for your help!If anyone else is experiencing these problems and know how to cure it, let me know! Like i said, havent had a lock up for a while now, but maybe there is one on the way.. I hope not.:-wave

Same problem I was having with a new A7n8x-e deluxe. My DDR400 memory modules weren't compatible. If it persists check the bios for system performance and set to user defined, then set the memory frequency lower. I get the same score in Aquamark3 but the GPU and CPU score ratio changed. No problems in FS9.1Andy

With Search and Destroy, you will always see the DSO Exploit reappear. It is an issue with S&D and not with your system. I believe Microsoft patched Windows and so you do not have DSO Exploit on your system.Mark.

There is a spybot patch to remove that spyware message.You have tried running prime95, memtest86 and 3DMARK I presume and now what temps you are getting at full load?
