Hello, everyone. Well, the title says it all. My computer is crashing. It has crashed rarely since I built it (February), but in the last couple days it has become bad. This system received it's FIRST BSOD today. Usually, I may try to open a program and it won't respond. Just around three minutes ago, it was totally unresponsive. It just froze. I reset it with the case reset button and the screen went black (as it should for a second), but wouldn't pull out of that state and just made a partial beep every three seconds or so. The beep wasn't a whole beep, but was about as long as a small "tick" noise (it was a beep from the motherboard buzzer, not a hd ticking noise).
I was planning on dumping a faster CPU in this thing, but now that I'm having problems, I figure that I should figure those out first. So, would this be software related or more of a hardware related issue? I've already had to install Vista twice on this machine, seeing as the control panel or my computer wouldn't open..... See system specs below in my sig. Thanks for the help everyone.
Not that this has anything to do with it, but my automatic updates keep shutting off on AVG. This has started happening around the same time the crashes started.
