Motherboard Asus P4S133-VM
Intel 1.7ghz processor.
512 mb SDRAM (2x 256)
GeForce MX-440SE 64mb AGP card
1 CD writer.
2 Hard disks.
Seagate -- 80 gb barracuda 7200rpm(bought 3 months ago, 2-3 days
later the problems started)
40 gb 5400 rpm
Symptoms-
1.My computer Freezes randomly .... hard disk light glows
constantly(does
not blackout..just cant move mouse, keyboard stops..).Mostly during
startup.
2.It takes 10-12 min to write a cd.(before it use to take 2-3 min).
3. Asus Probe says
cpu temp 40-47 degrees --> ok
mb temp 38-40 degrees --->ok
cpu fan 3299 ---> ok
power fan value 0 --> below threshold level.
chassis fan value 0 --> below threshold level.(i dont have this
fan)
i have ATX 12V power supply connected is connected.
4. System seems to lag when starting multiple processes.Like when
winamp is on and i start Microsoft Word it the mouse and music
stops(lags, breaks) for a couple of seconds.(stops-resume-stop-resume
cycle)
Everything is quite slow now. Gaming to data transfer.
5. Booting Time has also increased form 2-3 min to 6-7 min.
I have tested Booting time, CD Write time, System Lag and freeze on 2
different hard disks with 2 different Win xp installations...its the
same problem everywhere.
I have also checked my CVT (ya ....not a UPS) its also ok...as System
is having the same problems without it.
is it the CPU , or motherboard or the Power supply thats having
problem?
i think its the Power Supply but not sure.
ah and it also freezes in safe mode(it did a couple of times at boot),
ive cleaned out dust recently.
So please help...i really appriciate.
You've got classic symptoms of a bad power supply. But some of your
symptoms could be caused by bad RAM, also. The easiest check to make would
be to pull BOTH sticks of RAM out, and then install ONE stick of RAM,
preferably in a RAM slot that wasn't being used before. So if you had 3 RAM
slots and (1 and 2) were in use, put a stick of RAM in slot 3 only. If that
doesn't change anything, pull out the one stick and reinstall the other
stick, in ANY RAM slot. If that still doesn't help, you are probably
looking at a bad power supply. That wouldn't be surprising, as power
supplies are very prone to failure, and (as I mentioned before) your
symptoms do point to a bad power supply. -Dave
