When ever I play games and use apps like FlashMX and such
my computer will bluescreen and restart or just restart.
I check the even viewer afterwards and its always
and "acpi" thing. Ive used mulitiple BIOS versions
thinking that may be the problem and I have formatted at
least 2 times now. I used different CPU's, video cards
and RAM with no luck. I have auto restarts turned off in
XP. I think my mobo is failing but I dont know how.
Electrial equipment just works or doesnt work, it doesn
fade like this. Im thinking my BIOS chip may be failing
as sometimes when I turn it on it fails to POST. Can
anyone answer my problem? Thanks
 
In the case of computer electronics, yes they can slowly fade away. Which
componenets in another story... MB capaciters may be the culprit, PS is
also a possible candidate.

Although the BIOS chip is a possiblity it would be more likely that power is
a culprit. If your MB is more than a couple years old I would consider
replacing the battery on the board. Although it sounds strange, when that
battery is going/gone it can cause some very strange issues that would not
logically track themselves back to a battery problem!

Good Luck,
Len
