Complete System halt
Okay I have a machine here I've already torn it down and put it completely back together. The specs are almost identical to my personal machine as listed only it's using the ASUS formula board instead of the Striker.
Anyhow any movement at all, even the slightest bump of the desk it is on locks it completely. The screen just freezes where it is a hard restart is the only way to turn it back off.
It won't post afterwards either. You have to unplug it for about 10 minutes, then when you plug it back in it fires right up.
I'm just wondering if anyone can point to a single component that would be causing something like this.
Oh yeah, and it'll stay completely frozen like that for up to 5 hours that I know of.
