Voltage and Freezing
Just as of the other day, my PC started freezing. It's brand new, about 6 months old, 400 watt power supply, Asus motherboard, AMD Athlon XP 2400+ CPU, ATI All-In-Wonder 8500 DV Gfx card, and here's the problem
Using the Asus Probe which can measure voltage, it says that my 12v is below the threshold and is going down to about 10... in addition my PC freezes. I run a dual boot and this only happens in Server 2003, but not XP Professional. I tried doing a complete reinstall of 2003 today and it still does it. What can I do!?! --------- Update: On windows xp pro, it goes below the threshold Last edited by Trellis : March 12th, 2004 at 07:15 PM.

Sounds like a hardware issue of some kind, either your 12V connector is bad, or loose; your P/S is going bad, or the connector on the card is damaged.
I'd play around with it and see - especially if you can find one of the adaptors that go from a standard IDE power connector to the one for the video card (I've seen them around, but I can't remember where). And the voltage issue will cause your PC to freeze, btw.
