Hi there, well i formatted today. As i formatted everything went smooth. I installed DirectX and my graphics drivers.

After the PC being on for 5-10min it will freeze every 30sec, then unfreeze for 5sec, then freeze again. I have NO idea why, never done it before i formatted.

Gforce 6200 VGA Graphics card. Any ideas guys?

Check your processes (Ctrl + alt + del - Processes) , something you're doing is most probably eating away at the CPU. Make sure nothing you've installed shouldn't be there.

(Freezing AND unfreezing tends to be caused by 100% CPU usage)

Ok, it'll freeze for a while, unfreeze and freeze etc for around 3mins. Then after that it'll stop and i'll loose all internet connection, can't log on MSN. Can't view websites, nothing. No tinternet!

- Tried a virus scanner/firewall (You'd be surprised how much shit you get when you go online the first time without one)
- Checked to make sure all your hardware is behaving correctly? (no CPU overheats etc)
- Maybe the format went wrong (Did you do a quick format? Or the normal; fairly long one?)

Only other things I can think of really.

Deleted the partition and formatted (quick). It seems ok now. Installed some drivers etc and it's behaving correctly! Thanks mate.
