Hey...liljim's not gonna hunt me down for helping you is he...



Could be a few different reasons.
Check inside the case for Dust Bunnies,make sure ALL the fans are moving and the PSU is operating.

If ALL that is ok...make sure the Memory stiks are all seated properly.

If all that fails....we'll check for virus's...

Cactus

Ok I looked for dust bunnies none to be found and i checked the ram its in its place i ran HijackThis i don`t see any virus was unable to post the log computer froze up again so i`m on the laptop maybe later on i`ll be able to post it but everthing looked fine to me...


Please let me know something I would really like to fix this computer I know how to use Hijack This so thats why i said it looks fine but i will post ASAP

Thanks for any help

Stuff like this has a tendency to be hardware related. Cactus had a good idea. Take the RAM sticks out and then put them back in. If not, you could have a bad CPU. Without another to put in its place, its hard to determine. There is a program out there that you can boot from a floppy with to check things like this. I'll see if I can find it later and post it.

I think it's a faulty Ram, try removing Ram one by one and switch the pc on again. I had this problem too.

Thanks I`ll try anything just let me know Going to try the ram first and let you know something
