So here's my problem. I've never had to post one to this place before, because between several Microsoft and CompTIA certifications, one would assume i know my (stuff). But this is driving me nuts.

Problem: The computer will suddenly freeze up, nothing will work. This means mouse and keyboard fail, and the sound suddenly quits. It simply LOCKS. Only solution is to shut off the power and restart.

For a while i thought it was thermal related, but this couldn't be it, because when i reboot (a whole three seconds later) it works fine. Oh, as far as suggestions go, "Take it back to the manufacturer" isn't really an option, i techincally AM the manufacturer (built everything myself from scratch. go me!)

Specs: This should be helpful, maybe... ABIT KR7A-RAID 266MHz FSB, AMD Athlon 1800+, 256MB PC2300 (i think) DDR ECC RAM, Windows XP Pro, and if there's anything else you would like to know, let me know.

All right. Problem submitted to the think-tank. Let's see what it generates...

update the BIOS yet? I had to do that when I got my ABIT KR7A board...
