[GLLUG] desktop freezing??

[John Lewis]

Strange, that sounds a lot like how my asus a7v-133 acted for the year or so
before it finally died. It got to the point where I had to start removing
expansion cards to get it to boot and then one day it was just dead.
But on the plus side it had a good full life.

Passed the memory test - got the new PS in - now we wait - it's weird - it
always froze when I wasn't using it. . .  In the middle of the night or
something when no one was using it.  I've never actually seen it happen.

BTW, it went from a 250W to a 400 so that should be MORE than sufficient.
