mate, I didn't say XP won't boot up, but that it freezes after a few
minutes.
I know what you said, I can read and comprehend. If its freezing after a
min once you're on your desktop - as you contend - in Normal mode, then
something is /or could be causing your OS to lock up. It depends largely on
how well your system has been running up to the point your problem with
"freezing " began to occur. You stated this had been occuring within the
last couple of days. Behavior like this is also common with some types of
malware, and trojan viruses.
yes, better AV than you suggest - BitDefender
Great... you're using Comodo for your firewall, and Bitdefender for an
anti-virus. I made no suggestions for an Antivirus program, and could care
less what you use. I was asking if you had used a "malware scanner" such
as Adaware SE or Spybot Search and destroy - btw neither of these are
firewalls. Then I asked if you had an installed antivirus program - with
current definition files on your PC.
your for-a-nOOb advice makes me laugh,as only a while ago I was just
that. thanks for your endearing advice
Glad you found my noobish response to your post so amusing as to laugh. If
it is hardware related, and you're so smart - you wouldn't have found a need
to post your question to this forum right?
"software or hardware problem?
any ideas? "
Obviously, you've never heard of K.I.S.S (Keep it simple stupid.)
Have a good day, Mr used to be a Noob.
