Could my PSU and video card posibly be cousing the computer to constantly freeze up?

Does it have a voltage monitor in the BIOS? If so, make sure all voltages are in spec.

When its running in windows Xp i have intel active monitor and all power meters look normal.

A lot of Intel i865 boards ended up with the defective HN and HM.

What are you doing when it freezes? Run a memory test, does it freeze? Anything get extra hot? Download hiren's boot cd and test with some of the apps. Also try a linux live cd or an XP live cd and see if it freezes.

These boards are sensitive to bad caps. The row of capacitors behind the CPU and other capacitors around the memory slots, four 100uF in little neat row behind northbridge, and few capacitors around the HOT running regulators near southbridge are your issues.

Like the one i just got?

Re: D865PERC or D865GBF?

Only one?
I just got 5 in. - Bad shape.
I might be able to fix one.
The other 4 have holes or melted spots on the chipsets.
- Presumably had bad PSUs in use. I dunno their history.

Thats why i got the mother board from ebay was to replace my old one that had 2 blown caps on it.

Re: D865PERC or D865GBF?

Then get to it recapping the one with blown caps. The one that came from ebay, probably bad (might had been ruined by bad PSU).

Is it possible to identify it visually? Got bad system (Intel D865PERLL), but capacitors look fine.

Problem caps are Nichicon and have HN or HN(M) or HM or HM(M) marked on them.
Bad date codes are 2001-2004.
H0311 would be week 11 in 2003.

Fans spinning, otherwise dead system (tested with new PSU, video - all other devices disconnected) - no beeps, blank screen. Either motherboard or CPU, could not test further. So motherboard and CPU were replaced, new system works fine, old parts wait for better times.
