thanks everyone for your time and efforts. i did indeed try the other PSU (a
350w) and have been online for sometime with a good screen and no freezes
(touches wood!!).

so... looks like it is the PSU, an antec, so not even a cheapie one! but
dammit, i cant find my receipt at the mo and i know they have a 3 year
warranty, although i am sure they will wiggle out of it!

so i will need to replace the PSU (ha! in my daughters pc NOW <g>). any
siggestions?

Try and RMA it directly through Antec using the serial number if you can't find the receipt.

ebuyer have some incredibly cheap ones.... how can that be? and
how sh*te can they be???

although not a new pc, i did build it (with help from here, thank you 

:o)),

2 years ago.

about a month ago i started to get intermittent freezes, cant
ctrl/alt/del... can only reboot. just recently, this has become harder and


i

sometimes have to try 3 - 4 times to even get past boot up. sometimes when 

i

get the freeze, the monitor just blurs/pixelates.

i swapped monitors and it happened. i swapped GC's, it happens. i have run
an online diagnostic thing that told me to i should defrag (which i


should)

but cant stay on long enough.

chkdsk says the disk is clean.

a few months back i did have overheating probs and went and got lots of 

fans

that has solved that but i wonder if the residual damage to the chip is
showing now?

any other ideas of what it could be?

gigabyte GA - 7VA
athlon 2500 XP
3 hdd's - 20gbs/ 10gbs/ 40gbs
W2K pro
i have tried both radeon 9200se and geforce mmx 440

flat screen monitor (newish)

ummm anything else to tell?

please help!! its doing my head in!!!

thanks :o)
