Problem with my homebuilt system:
Asrock Dual Sata2
AMD 64 4000+
Powercolor x1900xt
WD 160 Gb
2 Gb Corsair Value Ram
Audigy 2 ZS
Win Xp Home SP2
It was working fine for about 3 months and suddenly started acting up. The mouse started freezing and upon reboot, it would just go into continuous reboot. I tried booting in safe mode, nothing. Bios pulls up fine and voltages all look good and so do the temps. It just won't start Windows. (not even from the disk.) I pulled out the VGA card (PCIe) and installed an old AGP card and everything worked fine, but now the same reboot issue is back. Waiting for the RMA on the PCIe card.
Does this sound like a VGA card issue, or Mobo, Hard drive, or something else sinister? (I do have a hardware and software firewall, Antivirus, Adware and spybot protection.)
