Hey Kensta...I was thinking about your PC problem and recall the CPU being mentioned.
Have you recently recovered or reinstalled Windows?

If you have you need to re-install the CPU drivers that are configured specifically for the Motherboard Make Socket and Chipset

Without them many features will not work and the CPU can malfunction under load even fail temporarily.

You would need to ID the Motherboard and get the drivers.

Example:
Gigabyte G1-ds3 and Pentium 4 needs the Gigabyte Drivers for P4 Socket 775 G1 chipset.

Generally the CPU and MoBo only have enough default functionality to install the operating system, some boards need CPU drivers before install as well as 3rd party Raid Drivers (if in use) Onboard Graphics Drivers in this example and even a Bios flash with certain CPU MoBo combinations.

If this is the case you can post your CURRENT Motherboard and CPU specs and I can locate the drivers unless you already have the disk.
