System is not overclocked in anyway, and never has been
Troubleshooting so far:
Updated to most recent GPU Drivers
No Ram errors (memtest86x) 2x passes
HD has no damaged sectors (HDtune) 1x pass
Scanned for Virus and system is clean
CPU Stress test (Prime95) 45Minutes and stayed stable
Flashed bios from version 605 to ver:2102
GPU memory test (VMT) Express mode run was error free
Ram voltage and clock speed are correct
Windows has been reinstalled multiple times over the years but problem persists
Nothing related in event log
Re-cleaned everything with forced air
Reorganized all wiring for max airflow and to check for shorts
I DID stress test my PSU 45 Minutes in Furmark and all Voltages stayed healthy.
Few days of normal use voltage monitoring with no Voltage irregularities
From there I Zero filled my HDD and did a fresh duel boot XP Pro/Linux Mint Install.
The problems:
PC will randomly freeze, sometimes under load sometimes at idle no correlation to anything specific. Usually locks up and is accompanied by a single drawn out bios beep until it resets itself. Other times it needs manually power cycled.
I can make it freeze consistently by running Oblivion but it freezes differently then. It will freeze up and not accept any inputs (inability to bring up task manager) but the music will continue in background, until i power cycle to hard reset it. In this case there are no bios beeps.
