Memories were tested for over a month on another computer, no issues HDD tested with HDD tune, all are OK PSU checked for swollen capacitors. Also, the mobo was checked for swollen capacitors. Nothing wrong.

I found out the Intel based mobo is ECS P4M-9000 Memories were tested on another system for over a month. I even got them on the ECS P4M-9000 mobo. HDD also tested with HDD tune. Everything works fine, and are on the ECS P4M-9000 mobo. However, this Intel based mobo has a OnBoard video that I cannot disable, and it works worse than with the other mobo, the ASUS one. It is equipped with Intel Celeron @ 2.8 GHz, thus, better than my AMD Athlon 64 @ 2.7 GHz. It should work better technically. Also, the heat sink was clean all the time. I did saw what dust can do to a computer. The PSU is also clean... functioning properly on the ECS P4M-9000 mobo.

Wait What? ? The A64 is at least twice as fast as that shltty Northwood. No wonder your games run like crap.

That Intel processor is 2.8 Ghz, and the AMD Athlon 64 is 2.7 GHz. How come Athlon is faster? Or my blonde hair betrays me... again... 🙂 On the P4M-9000 mobo there is the OnBoard video which i cannot disable it from BIOS

Onboard video should be disabled automatically when a video card is installed. The Celeron and the A64 use completely different architectures, CPU clock speed helps, but it isn't everything. For example my FX 8320 at 4.8Ghz is about the same as a 4Ghz i5 2500K. Kinda like a big V8 Cadillac vs a 4 cylinder Porche. The Cadillac may have a bigger engine but the Porche is still faster..... Anyway, it's quite possible the PSU is causing freezes with your rig, do you have another PSU you can test with?

Yes, sure 🙂 i'm very... resourceful, although keeping it would be a problem 🙂 Any idea why the PSU might be behind this? I mean... on the new architecture it performs brilliantly, no problem, no nothing. Why is it performing bad on that specific piece of mobo? I'll gonna strip the computer to get the motherboard "outside the box". If the PSU might be the problem, then, the ASUS mobo might have some burned "tissue" on it... hopefully I don't have to replace it, 'cause that's an old mobo for these days... dunno where i'll gonna get one.

Now I'm confused; didn't you say both systems were freezing up? Or was it just the Intel? Anyway PSU's wear out and when they do voltage fluctuation can happen which causes freezing. However since you just said only 1 system freezes up it's probably not the PSU. If the Intel rig is the only one with issues your CPU is to blame, as it's only single core.

No, just the ASUS one. The ASUS motherboard 🙂 I've changed the motherboard only. The other equipement is the same. ASUS freeze, P4M-9000 doesn't 🙂 LE. The AMD Processor was tested, along with the RAM on a different system. They all worked. So it isn't the CPU.
