Mike,
I suggest:
back up your very important documents and files. HD partitions and burned cd's are
great for this
1) download most recent bios and flash it. the gigabyte utility is pretty good
for this
2) trade out and test ram (if you've got more than one) also test the different
ram slots
If it still doesn't work:
3) take apart and reassemble the computer. careful to be grounded and visually check
all parts even spacers. I actually found a small hair-sized crack about four inches
long on the back side of the board. put in only the m-board, ram and video card.
reload win, format, reload windows.
4)if this still is the problem, chances are it is the mother board. don't waste
a ton of time on this. I spent two and a half months of free time and it gets really
depressing.
good luck.
