I have a new system which causes me some grief.
Every once in a while (sometimes after 5 minutes, sometimes after 2
hours) the whole systems freezes, no matter what i do (games, writing,
installing, doing nothing at all, it doesnt matter) so i can only do a
hard reset.
I have the strong feeling it has something to do with my graphic card
which is a His Excalibur Radeon X800 XT Platinum IceQII 256 MB AGPx8.
Does anyone of you cracks here know this problem and a workaround?
Power supply should be ok, its a Jou Jye JJ-460PPSA (460W).
TIA
Dave

The first thing I do when I have any kind of problem like that is take the
side off the case. If you have no problems after this it's a cooling
problem and you can start to find the source (cpu or video card).

I would try another PSU anyway to rule it out. I had a similar problem
once and it was the PSU causing it.
