Freezing for no reason?

[Lego]

It seems when IM in games recently (and once while browsing forums), my PC just totally froze. No mouse, no keyboard nothing.

I checked CPU temp and its at 60, for a XP1900

Any ideas?

60's a bit hot.

Hi Lego

If you are running an Athlon you find that 60 is quite normal for them.

Could you please return some specifications in regards to your system.

Thanx mate....

I used to have that problem Lego and after a fucking year I pinpointed it to be faulty memory. After I isolated the 128 mb chip and replaced it, voila! No more problem!

Only think I could come up with is that when it trys to read or write to a particular memory sector that was faulty it then hung up and froze like you do when Cons actually said yes to your request for anal sex

Yep, Ptech has a point.

Try
*Checking Memory
*Checking CPU Cooling

I'm pulling 51 at 100% load, and mine is fine

Wait sorry, I actually made a mistake in my post. It was a faulty memory slot on the motherboard, not the memory stick itself! But eitherway, it'll cause the same problem. See if you can run off 1 ram stick and see how you go. If it's fine, put in the second one.
