    Well...new update...I took most of ya'll's suggestions and put them to work[aside from my own theories].......got a new video card,as fan was frozen...didnt realize it.Just a simple gf64mbcard.Then after testing ram..got all sp1 updates and then some ...froze again.I had tested all hardware to this point,so I removed heat sink and fan from cpu...guess what?...The chip[an 850mhz athlon/socket A],had been damaged by the fan wearing out......little metal flakes present-and obvious wear.I called a friend...lo and behold got a duron processor/slot A 850mhz for 20$U.S......cleared all of the probs.......was a process of elimination,and a pain in the ass.Thanks for all of the feedback guys and gals .
