Would anything like this happen if too much power was being used and the PSU wasnt high enugh wattage? Its only at the same time as changing my mobo i installed 2 case fans and a cold cathode light. Maybe I'm sucking up too much power?

It just hangs for no reason, not asking it to do anything demanding. Nether of us have a fresh install of XP. And I noticed that line in DXDiag I'm going to try find out what it means as for hardware issues the only differences between our PCs is GPU and mobo and this only started when my N7N8X-X died on me and i replaced it with the only socket A mobo i could get that was ASrock and I did everything i could not to go with an ASRock.

Oh, by the way my brother has a different GPU and motherboard to me but everything else is the same. I'm sure I put an Asus A7n8x-E in his PC with a GF 5200 but dont quote me on it. Other thing is last time i recovered from a crash my thunderbird accounts were all deleted I'm not sure whether to class this as software issues now or not. My GPU is XFX GF 6800 GT I already had to send one of these back faulty.

since I instelled my new mobo i'm getting an intermittent crash where i don't get any BSOD or any warning at all, system just locks up and all i can do is hit restart, I'm failry sure is this crappy ASRock motherboard but I cant be 100% as my brother is having the exact same problem with his PC and its pretty much the same setup as mine.
