I built me a new computer back at the begining of August. Well, most of it. I have added more things like a sound card and a second video card since but my problem is i have random lock ups on my system. This has been happening for over a month now and i cant figure this one out on my own. [just a side note- this is my first computer ive built, and ive only been messing with computers within the last year]
The symptoms are as follows. Locking up and a high pitched squealing noise coming from my headset. This occours while the computer sits idle, playing Halo or another game, listening to music, or just surfing the net. My computer will stay like this until I unplug it, and by that I mean hit the switch on the power supply.
Here are the specs on my computer.
Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) D CPU 2.66GHz (2 CPUs)
Memory: DDR2 667 RAM 1024MB
Hard Drive: Seagate 320 GB SATA 3.0 gb/s
Mother Board: Gigabyte G1975X
Video Card: 2 NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT (SLI)
Monitor: LG L194WT(Digital)
Sound Card: SB X-Fi Platinum
Speakers/Headphones: Logitech Pro Gaming Headset
Keyboard: Standard 101/102-Key or Microsoft Natural PS/2 Keyboard
Mouse: Logitech G5 Laser Mouse
Power Supply: 480W [it came with my case just so you know]
Operating System: Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600) Service Pack 2 (2600.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301
I believe I have all the latest updates for all my hardware and software. Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
