Frequent Lockups?

[Definitefail]

Long story short,

My old computer get freezing, bought new Motherbored, Processor, and Memory, and still kept freezing. After using my new hardware with another HDD, it still freezes. Use to be a blue screen, use to just restart, now just locks up and have to hard restart it.

Anything can Trigger it, watching a movie, internet, games, or intensive applications, it doesn't matter.

Specs:
Asus M3A78-EM
Athlon 64 X2 6000+ 3.00Ghz 2mb L2 Cache.
2GB DDR2 Mem

Sata 160GB HDD and 40GB WD HDD.



Thanks.

EDIT: My V3.3 Voltage will drop to 0.00 - 0.65 instantly and I get the big fancy lights and my computer freezes, sometimes it goes back up to 3.3V. Recent observation.

Might be your OS, if you are using Vista, 2GB is ok, 3GB would solve all your problems. Also AMD chips aren't that friendly, they freeze up , (to me anyway).

I seriously doubt that, I still haven't managed to get over 1.5Gb of usage with Vista running some of the most intensive applications. AMD Processors are the sex, cheap and great quality, and friendly for me.

I think I figured out the problem, my Power Supply is going bad and can't power my computer and causes voltage drops. It's about Five years old, meh, time to get a new case anyway.

AMD cpu freezing up, not friendly?! You've gotta be kidding me. Anyways, I think your hard drives is giving you the slow downs. Do you know the speed of it? If anything, defrag them.

I doubt it's your PSU, The theory is like this, either it powers it or it doesn't. As for the voltage drops, CPU-z Does that to me also, and I have a good PSU.
