just a few questions,
Do u have built i video and built in sound,
And is the Motherboard a PCCHIPS
It could be just your motherboard, gone faulty. VERY common with the
PCCHIPS. especially due to the video and sound being built in.

You may need to try a better motherboard and you will instantly see a
difference. Fixed that problem with my bosses computer last week.
Motherboards won't last a lifetime,

Daniel
