Computer freezes
Abit AN7 AMD Barton +2600 512 M Memory Win2K Pro SP4 and all updates SATA 80G ATA 160G System freezes randomly. It may freeze soon after boot, it may run for days. It seems more likely to freeze under stress (scandisk, etc). When it freezes, only a reset will get it going. but there are no log entries to indicate a problem. Is this most likely hardware? I have replaces PSU, keyboard, mouse, CPU cooler. CPU temp shows 47C, voltages are middle of range. I do not have spare cpu or memory handy. Thoughts? Phil |

What does it show when you really get it going? Here is something you might download and run to see if you can spot the problem.. http://www.passmark.com/products/bit.htm Very small file, and really loads down every component in the system with a log of what worked and what didn't. |

You will have to use the process if elimination to troubleshoot the
computer. This is not something to be speculated on. Start with the RAM's, or the power supply, and work your way through the machine. -- Jerry G. ====== wrote in message ups.com...
