"Seng Tjaun" wrote in message ... I got a PC which it frequently hang all the while. In a day I will get about 10 or more hang-up. The hang does not seems to be from the OS point of view since before this under Windows98 it hangs. Upgrade to Windows 2000 or Windows XP, it still hangs. The hang-up causes the whole system to freeze. I can't even do CTL+ALT+DEL or CTRL+Shift+ESC to shutdown processes. The only thing I could do is just to reboot the system. The hang also does not create any log file on Windows 2k and XP event viewer. I suspect the memory having problem and did a memtest86. The result does not shows the memory having problem. What other tools or method I could use to determine what causes the system to hang frequently? What hardware should I take note on such a hang. Any further required information, please ask. your cpu temperature could be a bit on the high side |

Frequent hang!

Any further required information, please ask. Thanks. I had this problem too, and here are the steps I went about to fix it ... Install a CPU heat monitoring program. If the temperature frequently gets very high and then your system locks up, then you know what the problem is. Replace/upgrade the power supply. In my case, the power supply simply didn't have enough wattage and couldn't keep up with the system at some times. -- Usenet is a strange reality where you see people beating up a patch of grass where nine years ago there used to be a horse. -Nuke |
