My computer will run for about 5 minutes (3 in safe mode) before freezing. Any ideas? Anyone know how I can figure out why it's locking up?

Check the CPU fan. It may be loose. Have you opened it recently? Umm, other than that, viruses, trojan horse, spyware??? Get it diagnosed by a tech. It's hard to tell you what it can be over the net. It can be a variety of things.Comment

Well it doesn't stay on long enough to get hot... I pulled two of the three ram sticks, we'll see how it goes.
Its an ABIT KD7-G with an Athlon XP 1800+ and 1.5gb (now 512mb) PC2700 (not sure) ram.

Woah now. These new CPUs produce an incredible amount of heat. If the fan was off, you'd be overheating in no time at all.Originally posted by Dan M:

When the fan is off, there is no electricity in the cpu either. I don't think residual heat can be bad enough to cook anything. Anyway, it does not feel hot.
So far it locks even quicker with less ram. Hmm.www.RedLineVSix.com || 1996 Camaro, 15.159@92.5mphComment

Run Motherboard Monitor or SpeedFan to check the CPU temp.
Try different vid card drivers.
Try different vid card if you have one.
Upgrade chipset drivers.
Try BIOS to slow the memory down.Matt

Video card had been my guess. I installed a new game and updated the driver. The game is buggy as hell and often reboots.
It doesn't stay up long enough to download the driver again, but I could try the ones it came with. Right now I'm trying generic windows drivers. I'll swap in a new card next.www.RedLineVSix.com || 1996 Camaro, 15.159@92.5mphComment
