hi,

i am using my pc over a year, and here's my spec

AMD64 2800+ 754
abit kv8pro
2x512MB Corsair VS DDR400
1xSATA 40GB HDD
Galaxy 6600GT 128MB AGP
Pioneer DVD-Rom
SB Audigy
2x12CM fans
Tt Purepower 460W

everything is at stock values (no OC)


well, everything is fine until recently i experienced a locked up that i finally have to reformat my pc..it is nearly after a year i used my pc. even clearing cmos wont do. the trick i used now, is turn off the psu and let it be..maybe a half an hour while hoping i can boot the pc.

i really want to know (OP staff...i hope you can share your piece of mind here) what is the problematic component that had been causing these kind of problems.

i hope you guys (everyone welcomed) can help me a bit..it is already causing me headaches.

RAM , try to boot it up with one stick of ram

you mean...if the system wont boot, try removing one of the sticks and boot? if it works then put the stick back again...and boot normally?
