Continuously Crashing System.

[hassaan50]

Dear Helper,
My computer crashes frequently. It's mostly when I run something powerful. This however is not always the case. My computer has Win98 installed on it, and most of the 'computer' games result in a crash. I also have a Playstation emulator which runs games, no matter how powerful, quite smoothly. I cannot use Flash, MS Office, and most other programs.

What could be the problem? I also recently changed my processor to a PIII - and I think it's then when this problem has begun to occur. Will I need a complete mother board change or is there another problem.

Oblige me with a note of assistance. Thank You.

Can you give some more information about which components you are using?

My case has so many fans that it hovers above the ground .

I do not know much about my System components. What I do know is:

64 MB Dimm Ram
500 MHZ PIII Processor (Replaced a PII 500 MHZ without changing motherboard )
US Robotics 56K Modem
Win 98, XP
52X Maze CD-ROM Drive

I hope this can help. Thank You.

What motherboard do you have? Thats pretty important. If you say you don't know, then I would question the logic of replacing the processor without knowing what MB you've got.

Windows reinstall perhaps?? Does this need to be done after a processor upgrade? I know you do if you change m/boards..

I didn't reinstall Windows after upgrading my (fried) Tbird 1.4 GHz to an Athlon XP 1600+.

My case has so many fans that it hovers above the ground .

No need to redo windows after cpu change, sound like he got a problem between the mobo and the cpu. Maybe a bios update if needed can help, if update still doesn't support that MHz cpu then it's back to old/slower cpu or new mobo.

Oooooooo....k.

Wow. I seem to be advising this a lot today. Did you upgrade your PSU when you changed to the PIII?

Did you also get a HSF specifically for the new CPU, or are you using the old one?

Perhaps the extra draw on power from the upgrade is the problem, or maybe its a temperature problem.
