Did you upgrade to that Cpu? You might need to update the BIOS.

I had a look at your motherboards cpu support list. It doesn't support 45nm Core2 CPUs, you will have to buy a new motherboard. A cheap Gigabyte G31 motherboard will do fine if you're on a budget. I have one in a spare system and it's a solid little board.

Because it could support your old cpu but not the new one. Putting your old cpu back would probably fix it.

yes i did it.but it still freezes randomly.i also replaced the ram, formatted to xp but nothing is changed. for your info, when i was replaced the cpu to the new one, at first, it was ok about 6 months.

It could be the PSU thats starting to degrade or even the motherboard. You should also run memtest86+ just to make sure the RAM is ok. Do you have a spare PSU you could test with?
