This is really driving me insane. Okay so heres the deal yesterday i was just watching some vids on the pc all of a sudden it just crashes no bluescreen or anything. So im thinking shit this isnt to good. So i pop open my case everything seems fine. try to boot I get no video and i can here the video card fan still turning fullspeed. (always does that on boot then goes back to normal speed. Ive had this problem before and im still not sure whats wrong. So anyways i removed everything gave it a nice cleaning redid my heatsinks cooling shit. So i plug everything back in and bam boots just fine. I noticed one of the harddrives wasnt working right so i decided to put in in secondary slave. So do that turn it on same thing vid fan spinning full speed blah blah. So i unplug the hd and same thing. So i screw around for about a halfhour and reset the cmos and replace the battery. And finally it boots. So im like snap this is cool so im fixing my clock doing all that shit and bam locks up like before.

Ive tried everything ive tried known good video cards to no avail same problem and this is driving me nuts. Also checked cpu temp while it was running and it seemed fine bout 39c

Please help i need my pc lol
 
Have you scanned for viruses. I had one while back that locked up my computer or made it reboot
 
I Doubt its a virus since it occasinally boots. But then locks up. I was thinking more along the lines of my motherboard being dfaulty
 
Well I guess if worse comes to worse a clean install could do the trick.

Lets try to rule out all the possibilies first before we say its a faulty mobo.

Actually run Prime 95 overnight and see if any errors come up. If your mobo is messed, errors will show up quick
