I'm going to punch or stab something if my computer freezes on me again. Ever since I replaced the cpu cooler, PSU, and GPU it's been freezing on me. And by freezing I mean that though I can see my desktop, my mouse, etc... nothing responds. No amount of pressing buttons on the keyboard, no wiggling of the mouse, nothing. I have to turn it off via the power button, as that's the only thing to respond.
It's very frustrating. And annoying. But mostly it makes me want to hit something. Or stab it. Multiple times.
I'm hoping it's just the front panel being corrupt. See, there's this front panel that controls various... things. Case audio, reset button, hard drive light, etc.... At first I had everything plugged in, but over time I've had to unplug almost everything because it wouldn't work. The reset button in partical, nasty little thing, was causing my computer to randomly reboot on me. The last thing I had plugged in was the HD light. I noticed when the freeze happen the HD light is dark (implying that it's either not working or the HD has ceased all activity.)
Well, if having the reset button plugged in could cause the computer to reboot, maybe the HD light was doing something funky with the Hard drive? HOW that would be possibly, I can't even begin to imagine but at this point I'd be almost happy if that were the case.
It could be, though I hope not, the 9600GT OC nVidia card I got for free from Owin at OverclockersClub. I got it for free from him. It's an RMA card. (That is, he sent in his original because something was wrong with it and got this card from the company.) It could, possibly, be having problems.
And if it's not that... I guess it could be the PSU. Though I hope not. I happen to LIKE my new PSU. It's super quiet and really high quality!
Wah. I hope what I did fixed it. Proof will be in the pooding.
