I had similar problems... Replaced the Power Supply and all is well..  A
"flaky" Power supply will cause all kinds of weird things. Meter testing
will not catch intermittant problems or a
marginal P/S.

> I have a Gigabyte GA5-AX mother board with the Ali Aladin Chip set and 64
meg ram,CPU is AMD K6-2 500mhz. My video card is Power Color, nVida Riva
TNT2 pro, with 32 meg ram.  Operating system is a stand alone (ienot
networked)Windows NT4 build 1381, service pack 6a All drivers are the most
up to date available.  From day 1 I have been experiencing random system
freezes, ie suddenly nothing is happening. not even cursor blink.  There is
some indication that the mother board continues to run, at least in part, as
the power key on the keyboard will shut the machine down, even though the
video is completely frozen.

> Any help in determining what is causing this would be greately
appreciated.  I am considering a different video card or mother board, but
as yet don't know which to replace.
