Somethings up

[Dudeyourlame]

My current computer keeps hardlocking on me and I cant figure it out why it is doing so, its not overheating and my powersupply is fine, it can happen booting up at the graphic logo, lock loading windows, lock just surfing the net, and it locks while im away for a while

I know my description is pretty vague, but does anyone have any ideas for my to give a shot at? Specs are below

Msi K8N Neo 2 Platinium, Venice 3500@ Stock , Ati X800 GTO, Gt, Ocz Pc-3500 Antec Neo 550 HE

This is nothing more than an absolute guess, maybe ram? Run memtest, and see what comes up.

Spyware/virus scans?

Spyware/virus scans?

AVG showed no viruses, and ad-aware picked up only tracking cookies, nothing serious, i ran memtest for 30 minutes and nothing came up so i dunno :\

Thats too short for a good test.Run Memtest for at least two to three hours. 24 hours would be preferable though.

But another guess for the hard lock could be that the hard drive is dying. Find a hard drive diagnostic program from your hard drive manufacturer and run it.

And if Memtest for 24hrs comes up clean and a HDD diag, try reformatting. If that doesn't work, then start looking at other hardware.

After i shut my computer off it didnt post.. i unplugged everything and did just the basics and couldnt get it to post, even with different ram and reset cmos.. let it sit for 30 minutes unplugged and no battery... nothing

So My friend had an extra K8N Neo 2 sitting around and i swapped everything to that motherboard and its been running solid ever since
