UPDATE: September 21, 2016 Well, I've come down with a bit of a cold today - could feel it creeping up my throat since Monday. It sucks, but it also postponed my Angiogram which was scheduled for tomorrow morning. The good news is that now I had some time to work on the computer!   This is the original Q6600 CPU that got pulled out of my "working" computer and swapped with another Q6600, proving (hopefully) that it is the Motherboard at fault.  And here is the nice clean stock CPU Cooler mounted with my fancy new Retention Pins from China. Here's a tip: If you are doing a Re & Re on your CPU Cooler, get yourself some new Retention Pins. I have fought with used ones and ended up breaking half of them because the plastic is brittle from the constant heat they are exposed to. Those of you who are following this will know I ordered three sets of these pins from China when I couldn't find any at my local computer stores. For less than $3.00 I got 3 sets of pins, so if I lose or break any, I'll still have plenty left to finish the install. I may even order a couple more sets after this is done just to have some spares in my parts box. There should be a link to the source somewhere in the previous postings - if you can't find it, ask and I'll re-post it. So, tonight I cleaned the gunk off of the CPU and mounted it on the MB. Slapped some Thermal Compound on it and seated the Cooler. So much easier when you can lay the whole thing flat on the coffee table and don't have to fight all the PSU power cables! The new Retention Pins were great! Snapped right in perfectly the first time without a hitch. I'm debating about buying a new Hard Drive - I've seen some good deals on Craigslist for some 1TB WD Black drives for $30 - $40, and some other cheaper ones. I'll think about that and see about contacting these people to see what kind of deal I can work out. I really want to keep this budget down so I can put some money toward a new LGA1151 system. Just really need something that won't crash every 15 minutes...

UPDATE: September 23, 2016
I managed to pick up a 1TB Seagate HD from Craigslist for $45 (Can$).
Checking it out with SeaTools, it has passed all the tests.
Perhaps overkill, but I'm about half-way through a compete format on the drive.
It's at about 55% done - I'm just hoping the computer doesn't crash... again.
No photos until the formatting is done...
I've also cleaned up an older NVidia GF 7300GT video card to install, and I've downloaded the latest drivers for it.
Installed the Antec 650 Watt PSU into the case. I'll wait until I get the Hard Drive installed and a few other items before hooking up the wires.
Oh, the "new" Seagate 1TB drive is going to get used for data storage just as soon as I can transfer one of the 500GB drives data to it. Then I'll wipe the 500 drive for use as the C drive in the new system.

When you got to install Windows only have the boot drive connected.  Windows will span the installation onto ever HD it finds. If you ever remove one of the extra HD, Windows will refuse to start.

UPDATE: September 24, 2016  A New-to-me used Seagate 1TB HD from Craigslist $45 Can$  One of my old data drives - 500 GB Western Digital Blue It has had all the data transferred to the Seagate 1TB drive above and has been re-formatted and installed in the Cooler Master case for the Asus P5Q Pro replacement system. The Antec 650 Watt PSU is already installed. Also installed a generic GF 7300GT NVidia video card. Pretty basic, but will be swapped out for my EVGA GT620 card later. Cool GTX: Interesting info about multiple hard drives when installing MS System 7. I was not aware of that. My plan is to use only the WD 500 HD to get the system up and running and prove it works properly. Only then would I start installing extra HD's and other items. After that, I start saving for new hardware to build (probably) an LGA1151 system. I'm still open to suggestions. Whatever it is, I'll need a MB, CPU & Cooler, and DDR4 RAM, and maybe a new full-tower case to put it all in.

UPDATE: September 24, 2016 - 2 Interesting development today... I cleaned up a couple of case fans - one came from the Cooler Master case, and was put back in its location in the rear of the case as an exhaust fan. A second one came from an Antec case that the MB came from. There was a nice spot for it in the front of the case behind the power switch where it could be an intake fan blowing in on the HD cage. I had to remove the drive cage to get it into place. Fan has a 3-speed switch on it, but it is quiet enough that I will run it at full speed. Anyway... I was curious as to whether it would power up or not, so after plugging in all the cables, including the HD data and power cables, I turned on the power. I got the green LED on the MB to light up, but several pushes on the front power button got me nothing. No fans turned on, no case lights, nothing. Tried the reset button. Nothing. Got out the meter and started checking for power. Nothing. S%]$%]#$%! Now what??? A couple more presses of the power button and all of a sudden I've got front panel LED lights coming on and fans spinning! Keep in mind that I have no monitor, keyboard, mouse, or even a system on the HD. Now for the interesting part - Power comes on for about 4 seconds, then goes off for a second or two, then comes back on and seems to remain on. This was repeatable for about a half dozen tries and seems consistent. See video. https://www.facebook.com/jim.pook/videos/10153919844097514/?l=8353298646070540872 Q: Is this normal for a power on - to turn on for 4 seconds, turn off, then turn back on again? OK, yet another new development... Never mind... turned out the Quick Connector for the front panel connections came loose - all back to the above condition now. Now searching for a keyboard, mouse, and monitor to plug into it to see if I can get the BIOS to come up...

Update - September 24, 2016 - 3
Well, I'm not sure where I'm at now...
I plugged in a monitor and a keyboard.
I'm not getting any video signal, never mind a BIOS page.
No beep codes either.
Still getting that funny little power on for 4 seconds, power off until the fan stops spinning, then a click and the power comes back full time.
This is all making me think that it is the Motherboard.
Maybe tomorrow I'll swap the MB out for an Asus P5B board that I have in a box and see if that makes any difference...
Get a computer they said. It'll be fun they said...

+1 Learning is half the fun of living  Clear the CMOS, the constant reboot could be the BIOS settings / failed OC (settings are for past different hardware)

Which computer?
The Asus P5K Premium - which I'm using to write this.
OR
The Asus P5Q Pro - which is the replacement I'm building.
The P5K has never been over-clocked, and I've reset the BIOS a couple of times already.

Update - September 25, 2016 https://www.facebook.com/jim.pook/videos/10153922911227514/ OK... Cleared the CMOS - Did not help. I pulled the RAM and got a beep code: - . . Long, Short, Short Pause, Repeat. No video. I put the RAM back in, one at a time. No beep code, No video. I swapped the RAM for a different set. No change. No video. Also... Pulled and reseated the video card, even though it looked good. Swapped in an ATI video card with no improvement. Changed slots for the video card. I can't think of anything else I can do short of pulling the MB and installing the P5B MB and see if that one works...

Update: October 17, 2016 Sorry guys - not much to report yet. I've been kind of busy dealing with other stuff and haven't had time to swap Motherboards in the replacement system. I have a suspicion that the other MB, which came out of that case originally is toast anyway - it is one of two computers that were given to me by a friend after she upgraded due to a lightning strike. I've been watching Craigslist for a suitable LGA775 replacement MB, but nothing has shown up yet. Maybe next week when the pension check shows up... I have however been doing some more research into a new MB, CPU, and DDR4 RAM to build a new system with. Here are the links: Motherboard - GA-Z170X-GAMING 7 - http://www.ncix.com/detail/gigabyte-z170x-gaming-7-lga-43-113385.htmCPU - BX80662G4500 - http://www.ncix.com/detail/intel-pentium-processor-g4500-3m-c6-116973.htmDDR4 RAM - F4-2400C15D-8GVR - http://www.ncix.com/detail/g-skill-ripjaws-v-8gb-2x4gb-8d-111404.htm The MB is a pretty good one and priced at $240, I'm thinking that this will be a good base for my new system. The CPU and RAM are the cheapest I can find with the idea of getting a working system as quickly as possible. As it is fairly quick and easy to replace the CPU and the RAM, I can upgrade these items later as budget allows. Total cost would be about $460 including all taxes. While it would be great to plug an i7 CPU into this board, the G4500 sells for only $94 while an i7-6700K runs $450. I'm just hoping it will be enough that I can get back to video editing. At least it should be stable.

DDR4 RAM - F4-2400C15D-8GVR - http://www.ncix.com/detai...gb-2x4gb-8d-111404.htm
So... Any thoughts on this combo of parts as the basis for a new computer system?
I think those parts are just fine. Getting a better cpu would help speed up your video editing.
Sajin: Thanks, I quite agree with you about the CPU - The only reason I'm looking at the G4500 is to get a system up and running as quickly and cheaply as possible. Once that is accomplished, I plan to save up and get a better, faster CPU like an i5 or i7. The constant freezing and crashing is driving me crazy. I'm also fearful of a total failure of the MB which would cut me off from my banking, prevent me from doing research on my new computer components, and everything else I do with my computer. I have webpages that are so incredibly slow to load. Even Drudge Report which is designed to be fast loading takes almost as long to load as it's refresh rate.

Update - October 29, 2016 Not too much to report, but that should change soon... Found a used LGA775 Motherboard, CPU, RAM, and an Antec case on Craigslist for $70.  Gigabyte GA-965P-S3, Intel Core 2 Duo Processor (@2.1 Ghz), a heatsink and fan, and a couple sticks of DDR2 RAMs (2 GB I think). Not exactly what I'm looking for, but it should give me a stable platform to work with until I can save up my nickels to get the LGA1151 system I'm craving. Should be in my possession by tomorrow. Plans are to swap out the CPU for my Q6600 quad core, and the RAM for my OCZ or G.Skill RAM. Once I get it up and running I'll sell off the old parts to recover some cost to put toward the 1151.

Update - October 30, 2016 Good news! Got the new (used) Motherboard, CPU, RAM & case about 3 hours ago. Everything looks good with the exception of a case fan that appears to be DOA. Luckily, I have a couple of good case fans to replace it with. The MB and everything else was already mounted in the case, but I had to pull the MB out because whoever installed it missed a couple of mounting point screws. I installed some new brass mounts for it and re-installed the MB back into the case. I have also pulled the RAM which turned out to only be 2 X 1GB modules of OCZ PC2 6400 Gold. They will be listed on Craigslist as soon as I can get around to it. Also pulled the CPU, (Core2 Duo 6400 - 2.13 GHz) and Cooler, and replaced with my Q6800 Quad Core and cooler. I pulled the front panel off of the case and there is room there for 2 case fans, but they are not 80 or 120mm - looks like maybe 90mm, but I haven't measured it. I've got boxes full of fans, but nothing in that size. I'm just taking a bit of a break now before I pull the Antec 650 Watt PSU out of the old case and move it into the new one. Then, I guess I'll have to pull a DVD player out of my operational computer and install it into the new case. After that, assuming it fires up, I should be set to install a new system onto the WD500 HD (already installed). I'll post some photos soon... More good news... Just powered it up. Fans spin, video works, boots up. I haven't plugged in a keyboard or mouse yet, and there is no system on the HD. Just found an SATA LG DVD burner, and will hook that up in the next few minutes and then install System 7 on the HD...

Even more good news... Ran MemTest86 and got one good pass with no errors. Hooked up mouse & keyboard. Now installing Windows 7 Ultimate.

Update: January 6, 2017
Sorry I haven't been around for a while.
I did manage to get System 7 installed, but ran into problems when I tried to get online and update it to the latest files from MS.
Something went wrong and crashed the system. Since then I haven't had the time to deal with it. Hoping to pull the HD and format it so I can start over with a System 7 install.
I'll let you know if anything gets done in the next few days...

Update: January 11, 2017
Well, it's deja vu all over again...
Took out the HD, plugged it into my "working" computer and formatted the drive.
Ran a couple of diagnostics on it and it checked out as good.
Re-installed back into the "new" computer and installed System 7 Ultimate on it.
I used a different source disk for S7 in case the first one had been corrupted - it's always worked well in the past, but lately, not so much.
It was looking good until I got online and attempted to update it.
It would not update at all, and now the computer with nothing more than S7 on it is crashing and getting BSOD crashes.
I am wondering if it might be another Motherboard issue. The CPU and the RAM have tested good in the past, but I have noticed a couple of bulging capacitors on the MB.
Looks like I'm going to have to start saving up for the new 1151 system.

How to Update Windows 7 All at Once with Microsoft’s Convenience Rollup LINK
howtogeek.com/255435/how-to-update-windows-7-all-at-once-with-microsofts-convenience-rollup/ - Excerpt:
-
When you install Windows 7 on a new system, you traditionally have to go through a long process of downloading years of updates and constantly rebooting. Not anymore: Microsoft now offers a “Windows 7 SP1 Convenience Rollup” that essentially functions as Windows 7 Service Pack 2. With a single download, you can install the hundreds of updates at once. But there’s a catch.
This update package, which combines updates dating all the way back to February 2011, isn’t being made available in Windows Update. If you’re installing a Windows 7 system from scratch, you’ll need to go out of your way to download and install it. If you don’t, Windows Update will download and install the updates one by one–the slower, more tedious way.
Here’s how to download and install the Convenience Rollup so you don’t have to do it the hard way.
