I have a Asus P5NSLi motherboard (nvidia chipset) with a Core 2 Duo, the VGA card is an ATI X1900. Do you think since the chipset and the graphics card are made by 2 different companies this could be causing freezing of computer?

Since i have an ATI x1900 would the Asus P5WDH that has the crossfire chipset be a lot smarter of a choice to go with?

OK I'm going to be as detailed as possible to help YOU answer this question as best as you can, I'm running:

Components:
ASUS P5NSLi motherboard
Core 2 Duo E6600 (not over-clocked)
Corsair XMS DDR2 (1gigabyte) RAM installed correctly
2x500 GB SATA Maxtor HDs
ATI X1900
Avermedia 1500 TV Tuner
Linksys Wireless B PCI card

Temperatures:
CPU: idles at 51 Celcius
MB: idles at 41 Celcius

Software on PC:
Windows Media Center Edition 2005
ATI software
McAfee Viruscan 8.0
Touchkit drivers for 7.0 in touch screen display on case

Problems with components:
The northbridge gets so hot!!! You could cook an egg on that thing, so i installed a thermaltake northbridge cooler and the tempuratures now idle at 50 celcius for the CPU, so that did help lower the temp of CPU at least.

So basically when im online or the network connection is working i could be browsing the net, downloading a torrent, or watching a movie in media center and the screen will just freeze. HELP??

What is the difference between shutting down your computer & having it hibernate? The advantages & disadvantages to both? The programs still running while merely "hibrnating"?

hello everyone. i am not completely tech-illiterate, i build a couple of systems but im kinda stumped on this one. i build a system a while back and one day woke up to a bluescreen. since then i swaped out all the parts and had a hardware diagnostic done and everything passed. im fairly sure there are no incompatibilities since i had it running at one point. after my system crash im constatntly getting a bluescreen during windows install. the raid drivers are from the motherboard cd, which are the newest ones i believe. now, it does it in both drives and with multiple windows cds. any suggestions would be appreciated.

the motherboard is a a8n32-sli, RAID 5.

Aluminum Case, 120mm (80cfm) pusher fan, 250mm pusher fan, two 80mm exhaust fans. Water cooling for CPU, North Bridge, and South Bridge. Good cooling system, but listen to this radical idea. What if you put the computer (case and all) inside one of those mini-refrigerators? Wouldn't that provide amazing cooling and lead to inredible overclocking possibilties? The computer would also be plugged into a Monster Power Supply with Clean Power Stage 2 Version 2.0 for a stable and protected voltage level. Wouldn't this all provide for maximum system life and extreme overclocked levels?

I have a DVD drive, as well as a CD R/W drive on my computer. I can even play CD Rom music on both of them, but I can not write (even data) on my CD R/W. The drive is not even recognized by the system. For example when I right click on a file and select send to, the drive does not even come up as a selection. I have moved the jumbers in all possible combinations and it still does not allow me to write to it. The drive is LITON product, and my system is windows XP. I emailed the company 10days ago, and did not get a single response. I appreciate any help.

I just want to write an .iso file to a disk. I have a device that claimes to be Compact Disk Rewritable, but when I go to stores, only the CD-Rs seem to be in stock (plus they are less expensive). Can I just use those, or find some s/w that will allow me to use those? Thanks.
