Updated BOIS

After having some problems with my new computer freezing up, I updated its BIOS. Since doing that it seems to be running fine. This computer has a Gigabyte motherboard (GA-K8NS Ultra-939) an Athlon 64 3000+ CPU, one gigabyte of RAM, and a pair of WD 250 GB SATA hard drives using the on board RAID control in stripping mode. I used Gigabyte's @BIOS utility. I first backed up the existing BIOS then I downloaded and install an update. After rebooting the computer, I ran DivX converter which ran fine. I left the computer on over night, which had caused it to lock-up before, and this morning it was working fine.

My Upgrade

Well I upgraded my computer to an AMD Athlon 64. Everything works great except it is freezing up every now and then. This is of course the hardest type of PC problem to deal with. I am going to check with the motherboard manufacture Gigabyte for bios and driver updates and install some monitoring software to check the temperature sensors. If the problem continues I will do some searches on Google to see if others are having the same problem with this motherboard, chip, and hard drive configuration. If someone else has a better idea or a link to a website please let my know.

Call for help is back on TV in the United States. I really enjoy listening to call for help. I have my DVR set to record it everyday.
