My PC runs fine when doing everyday tasks such as web browsing, word processng, images, etc. However, rarely the program (such as PSP) crashes, but this has happened only three times in about 500 launches. It occurs when I just select a button - any button - such as the picture tubes or whatever.
Next up, a use a database program called 4D - the thing is, it too crashes after lauching, but only when it is the first program loaded straight after Windows.
Onto games. When loading games, there are times when nothing happens - yes, I have double clicked on the icon, and there is a small amount of disk activity - all it takes here is another double click and it sometimes work. It's a problem as such, but it is getting on my nerves.
Finally, onto the games (we're talking full screen ones)themselves - sometimes, I can load the game, and it plays fine up to a certain point - and then the game just freezes, with a reset the only option. Other times, the game freezes, but the sound makes a continual high pitched noise as well, piercing my eardrums in addition to p***ing me off.
So, can anyone suggest what's happening here? I'm beginning to think it has a conscience and wants me only to do serious stuff like programming.

Unlikely. The people there aren't stupid - they've fitted the parts properly, most of the problems are down to intermittent hardware/software/driver incompatibilities, which are a %&!$ to track down

Different board but the same chipset :O)
The Epox forums didn't turn up anything, but I only looked briefly, you might fare better:

The EpoX 8RDA/8RGA is nforce2 based, you'll be looking for threads from people owning those boards with similar problems to you.

nForce forums? Links please.
You could try disabling fast writes, if they're enabled
Or try underclocking the PC to see if that helps
*browsing nforce forums*

Lock ups, all the time.
What type of crash are you getting? Blue screen? Or just lock up?
Oh, like 50. That's not it though - I had the random crashes with games like MOH and Max Payne way before I installed anything else on the system, except for Office and Visual Studio.
