Computer Hangs afer 4 hours of operation.
Computer P4 2.0
O/S: Windows XP Pro. RAM : 256 MB Mother board : ECS P4 The computer works fine for say 4 hours. Then the whole thing freezes. Then when I do a cold boot. It hangs when runing the BIOS ( during the intial phase of finding the harddisk etc). If I shut down the computer for 20 mins or so it works fine past the BIOS running stage, but hangs after the XP comes up. If I keep the computer shut down for a day or so, it works fine again for next 3-4 hrs and then the problem starts again. I have changed the Hard drive, BIOS battery etc but the problem still continues. The computer is still a fresh install. What might be the problem. Is it the faulty processor? Thank you Kiran Math |

A few possibilities: Agreed with Tony about overheating. I would check case airflow. Intakes might be blocked by carpets or recycling in closed spaces. Is case warm/hot near the CPU? Make sure the powersupply fan is blowing out strongly and the warm air has someplace to go. -- Robert |
