PC freezes random times, can't figure out cause.
Basically I got my motherboard back from MSI recently, as of yesterday. Installed it and it booted fine. I Reinstalled windows and it booted great. After some updates on windows it needed to restart so i did, after that boot it all started... It would freeze at different times after windows would login. Im using xp so it should handle it ok. My system is displayed below in "My system" part. Im wondering what the problem can be, it said that my graphics card was not compatible at one point when the screen froze up. Occasionaly my primary display will turn black and the secondary will stay lit up with background up, but i can't get the mouse over to it so I think it doesn't work either. Im basically wondering if my graphics card could make the entire pc freeeze up or would it be something different? Any advice is appretiated. Thanks.

Perhaps the windows driver is what is causing your machine to crash. Sounds like you acquired the driver from windows update. I would definitely try the driver off of nvidia's website. You can download this driver by going here: http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_169.21_whql.html What is the make/model of your PSU (power supply unit)? Good luck

Going Broke Overclocking

You may even want to attain an earlier version of video card driver. Sometimes the latest and greatest isn't actually the case for earlier GPUs.
