hi, i know some(understatment, 3 outta my 4 papers in english had to do with intel vs amd, ati vs nvidia etc...) things about computer hardware, and i love computers. there is usually no problem i can't fix with my 6 year old vaio. but lately i've been stumped, and i figured to ask someone who is better than me, more experienced than me, and well, get another point of view to brainstorm with.
my sony vaio is locking up for seemingly no reason, it happens the most when i play d2 go figure, and i've tried everything i can think of
i've put a new PSU in it, a 450 watt one, when my system specs only require a 260 watt,
i've cleaned out the inside of my system many times, sometimes 4 times a week
i've wiped the harddrive, reinstalling windows xp pro sp 6each time
i've installed new fans, and made a new blowhole on the side to help vent the air
i've punched the case numerous times (somewhat joking.......)
i was just wondering what else i can do before i just give up and make me a new computer
any CONSTRUCTIVE help will be appreicated
thx
