Got a real brain buster for you all. I recently completed building my first computer (spec's to follow). The problem I am having is that it will lock up at various time through out the day. It will lockup anywhere from 1 to 5 or 6 time a day. While surfing, playing games, even at the desktop. I have uninstalled my anti-virus software (Inoculate-it PE), updated to the latest video drivers (both Elsa and nVidia reference), updated my VIA drivers (4-1), replaced the stock cpu cooler with a Global Win WBK38 Super (my cpu temp according to mobo utility is from 44 C to 56 C). I am not running a screensaver or any power saving settings, it is set to be on all the time. I am also running MS Internet Connection Sharing software to network 2 other computers thru a hub. This computer is the server for my network.

The following is a report showing my IRQ settings:

    15:         Secondary IDE controller (dual fifo)

I am at my wits end trying to figure this out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
