I have a PC at the moment that keeps crashing.
I have tried chaging video card / fans / heatsinks PSU etc with no success.
The machine will run fine until i try to convert video files etc. It then
crashes and leaves a red 25mm band of red across the top of the screen. My
next stage is to replace the Mobo. However, i do not want to spend loads as
i have already spent a few quid ond got nowwhere.
Spec is as follows any help will be very helpfull
