Hi everyone,

A couple of weeks ago I did change my computer motherboard and reinstall windows XP SP3 on a NEW HDD, it work almost well for a short period of time, but since a while it making me crazy again and I do not know why !!

At any time windows freeze for a while and work again whitout any intervention from me I only have to wait a bit (5 to 15 seconds), but now it is getting worst in this way It is the whole computer who freeze for a while and a loud BUZZING sound is produce by the computer and for a while too (3 to 10 seconds) after some time it work ok for a while and it do the same or some time it froze for good, I thank that it was Windows related so I reinstalled it and TRY to make it work under SP1 but it do it anyway.

Sometimes I can access the task MANAGER and stop any program running and work or play for a while but the problem stay there, sometimes I cannot stop any program from the task manager I cannot even stop processus from there.

I still think it is partly a Windows issue but...

Thank for all the help you can give me

Bad PSU...
To test this borrow a known good one of the same wattage or greater and swap it in there overnight...
If the symptoms go away replace the PSU.
