Hi! I have a computer (or maybe had) with an Asus M2v-MX SE motherboard with a dual core AMD processor, running XP Pro SP3. Over the last few months. maybe once every week or 2 weeks, it would freeze after booting into the OS. Mouse would freeze and couldn't crl-alt-delete to task manager. I had to un plug it, then reboot and it would be fine. The other day, as it booted boot message screen cam up in different colors within words, then everything had a green hue. The green hue continued after the OS came up. I was just checking mail before I went to work. When I came home, I turned on the computer---and nada. It didn't do anything, and a message appeared on the monitor---no signal. Not even the bios came up. I use the onboard video, so with the green hue I figured Motherboard. But since it sent no signal, now I'm thinking power supply. How can I determine the cause of the problem? I know I can't find a replacement motherboard---it's 7 years old. A month ago, I put in Crucial CT2KIT25664AA667 4gb, but I don't know how this would cause this problem as it hasn't froze since I installed the ram. Any and all responses will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
