But I still cant find a "boot option" on my motherboard so....Boot priority, or similar - put the CD drive at the top.So, I managed to boot from the Memtest CD.

I did the test (took longer than I expected) and it concluded that there where no errors.

So now we get back to the original problem, why it was freezing up.

What you mentioned about RAM was interesting. When I was first putting my computer together, I had 3 memory modules inserted, 1 x 1GB, 1 x 512MB, 1 X 256MB. But for some reason my motherboard was only registering 256MB inserted. I swapped the memory modules into different places, and now it only registered 512MB inserted. I kept switching around and eventually it registered 1.5GB inserted, but no matter what I did it wouldn't register the 256MB so I took it out.

Also when I was playing around with the setting using the AI booster (tuning software) I increased the voltage to the RAM and the CPU and the computer crashed straight the way!

Another note. Usually if I leave my computer on for an hour while leaving it (to DOWNLOAD or SOMETHING) when I get back to if after a while, I open up a program and then it freezes.Remove all non-essential usb connected devices and try again .
Largest memory module should always be in memory bank 0 , always .

Download avgfree , install , then update .

Run full system scan , and report back .I didn't KNOW the memory banks where numbered. Where is the first memory bank, first left or far RIGHT?

Anyway, this does not explain why it keeps freezing up??After a motherboard change I'd format the drive and do a clean install of Windows without hesitation.
