I noticed im having serious problems now, after leaving my computer on for a day, which was a vary hot day (35.c ish).

Computer now seems to totally lock up at random times and reset button or cntr-alt-delete wont reset it, and the monitor flicks off into sleep mode. This problem also happened in bios while tryin to look at settings.

I went and bought a new cpu/heatsink/fan, and the problem is still occuring, tried removing HD,different RAM combinations, reseating vid/network cards etc.

I've also noticed on websites with scrolling on my mouse using the middle roller button, I can here "static/electricity" type buzzing coming from the mobo are when ever I scroll up or down. And this buzzing also occurs randomly which i thought was just the cpu fan, but I have a new fan and here exact same sound.

I have flashed mobo and video bios, installed new drivers etc after this problem started and its still occuring.

Do you think I have fried my mobo? It's about the only thing I can think of thats causing the problem, and I've never had anything like this b4, does not seem to be windows related if it crashing in bios, maybe even the harddrive?

Duron 1.3ghz (was Duron 850)
650 Ram (133)
GF4 128mb MSI
MSI K7TPro(I think, about 1.5 year old mb now)
sb live value
samsung 20gig hd.

Thanks.
